Time Guru

iOS / Android App

The ultimate metronome for rhythmic mastery — and "mutilation."

Time Guru is a metronome built to make you a stronger musician, not just a louder click. Its signature feature randomly mutes beats so you have to keep the time yourself, then snaps back in to show you exactly where you drifted. It's the practice tool used by working pros to internalize the pulse.

Key Features

• Random "Mutilation": Set a percentage of beats to disappear at random so you develop rock-solid internal time.
• Complex meters & subdivisions: Program odd time signatures, mixed meters, and any subdivision you need.
• Tempo programs: Build sequences that change tempo and meter over time for full-song practice.
• Spoken numbers & custom sounds: Hear the beat counted out loud, or choose your own click voices.
• Save and recall: Store your routines and exercises for instant access.

The App Store badge links to the iPhone version. There's also a dedicated Time Guru for iPad.
