Gnock: The Fun Metronome
Beat and tempo practice
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Bob’s not your garden-variety gnome. You pick the tempo and he does the rest. Your new practice companion.
Underneath Bob's charm are powerful practice tools. Set your tempo and select any time signature you can think of. Tap the beat blocks to change the shape and sound of each click, or mute them entirely. Whether you're a student learning to keep steady time or a working musician hitting the shed in 11/8, Gnock keeps up. Take a look around: there's more to this garden gnome than meets the eye.
