Master your internal clock with random muting (gap training). Build unlimited meter patterns, polyrhythms & gradual tempo shifts. The metronome that makes you better. The ultimate rhythm training experience, optimized for the iPad’s expansive display. Take advantage of the larger screen to build complex meter sequences and master your timing with the most advanced "gap click" metronome available. The "Gap Click" Revolution - Most musicians lean on the click; Time Guru lets you to own the beat. Time Guru is the only metronome that periodically goes silent—randomly, in patterns, or both—so you discover whether you rush, drag, or lose your place. It's like training wheels that lift off the ground. Designed for the iPad Canvas Building complex rhythms shouldn't feel cramped. Our iPad-specific interface allows you to view and edit unlimited chains of shifting meters without constant scrolling: • Expansive Sequencer: Build 4/4 → 7/8 → 3/4 → 11/16 with ease. • Intuitive Editing: Use the larger screen for precise drag-and-drop rearranging of meter patterns. • High Visibility: Perfect for use on a music stand; see your place in the sequence from a distance. Random & Pattern Muting Set any percentage of random muting to test your timekeeping, or create sequenced muting patterns. You'll quickly learn exactly where your timing falls apart—and strengthen your internal clock to fix it. Smart Practice Tools • Gradual Tempo Changes: Automatically speed up or slow down to build technical speed. • Practice Timer: Stay focused on your scales without glancing at the clock. • Pro Sound Sets: 35 loud, clear sounds with precise accent/unaccent balance control. • Full Accessibility: Robust VoiceOver support for visually impaired musicians. • Voice Counting: English, Chinese, French, German & Russian. • Tap Tempo: High-responsiveness (5–300 BPM). • iCloud Sync: Your presets stay updated across iPad, iPhone, and Mac. • Full Accessibility: Robust VoiceOver support for visually impaired musicians. • Lock Screen control • Practice along with podcasts or YouTube What the press says: "This ingenious super metronome... an awesome learning, grooving, solidifying tool." — Guitar Player Magazine "If you're looking for a flexible, powerful metronome app for your iOS devices, I highly recommend Time Guru." — Sweetwater Developed by Avi Bortnick (touring guitarist with John Scofield) and Adam Bellard. Built for iPad and works on Apple Silicon Macs.

Super glitchy iPad Pro

Completely useless on iPad Pro. Deleted and re-installed. Emailed for advice several times to no response. Great for iPhone, crap for iPad. Stay away.The issue was that the controls for adding or removing subdivisions in the “meter select” don’t work. So if I added any variation to the metronome it was irreversible, and in order to clear it and get a new metronome, I had do delete and reinstall the app. Annoying to the max in the middle of a practice routine. I’ll revise my rating if they fix this issue, or even respond to my query.

Hi. I never got an email from you about this. I would like to know if this indeed is a bug with the iPad Pro, because I haven't heard a similar issue. If you are still having a problem, could you send me a video? I don't have an iPad Pro to test with - only my iPad Mini and the simulator that Apple provides. Sorry for the troubles. timeguruvoxbeat@gmail.com

Almost what I was looking for

I'm a new bass player trying to wrap my head around rhythm. My new exercises explore triplets and 16th notes. I wanted an app that I could input the rhythm from my exercises and have it play back in various tempos. This app does that, except it doesn't allow you to input dotted quarter notes. So, so close.

Pretty annoying when practicing with scores on the iPad. Other than the gradual function it really doesn’t do anythimg that Tonal Energy’s metronome doesn’t do, and that app is much more user friendly and has many more features. This was a game changing app in it’s day but has been left behind, unfortunately.

Hi, can I ask why annoying when practicing with scores on the iPad? In any case, I beg to differer: Tonal Energy is a decent app, but doesn't offer random muting, pattern muting, or any of the complex rhythmic time feels that Time Guru does.
