Pulse: Tap the Rhythm
Practice rhythm on your watch!
Only for Watch
Free
Apple Watch
A rhythm game for your wrist. Read real notation, tap it back against a click that never stops, and climb from quarter notes to odd meters. No phone, no account, no ads.
Pulse Rhythm is a rhythm game and trainer that lives entirely on your Apple Watch. Read a bar of real music notation, tap it back against an always-on metronome, chase a score.
The metronome never stops. Read the rhythm for as long as you like, join on any downbeat, and tap on the surface below the line. Only timing counts: every tap is measured the instant your finger lands, graded against the beat, and marked on the notation so you can see exactly where you rushed or dragged.
FOUR WAYS TO PLAY
• Rhythm Run: read a bar, tap it, climb a ladder from quarter notes to sixteenths, triplets, and 6/8. The tempo ramps as you clear bars.
• Endless: sight-read a continuous stream of bars with no pause between them.
• Journey: a guided course from your first quarter note to odd meters, one short section at a time, with a quiz to complete each section. Play them in any order.
• Conductor: no notation, just you and the tempo. Keep it in your head and tap it back.
REAL NOTATION
Quarter notes to sixteenths, triplets, rests, ties, dotted rhythms, and gallops - in 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, and 6/8, with 9/8, 12/8, 5/4, and 7/8 waiting further up the ladder. Engraved with a real music font, sized to be legible at arm's length.
MADE FOR THE WRIST
The beat can be a click or a quiet tap on your wrist, so you can practice silently anywhere. No iPhone app, no account, no network, no ads. Scores and settings stay on your watch.
EVERYTHING INCLUDED
Every mode, every difficulty and all nine Journey sections are included, along with Insights: a practice report of your timing tendency, tempo memory, and skills. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads.
Whether you're a musician keeping your reading sharp, a drummer away from the kit, or someone who has always wanted to read rhythm — open a tiny game for a minute, chase a better score, and accidentally get better at rhythm.
