About RhythmForge: Metronome Trainer
Most metronomes just count. RhythmForge listens back. Play along to the beat and the app hears you in real time. Every hit is measured, every drift is shown, every session tells you exactly where your timing is strong and where it's not. Your phone becomes a practice coach. HOW IT WORKS Pick a challenge. Set your tempo. Play. RhythmForge scores every beat across six accuracy tiers — Perfect, Great, Good, Okay, Weak, Missed. Build combos with consecutive Perfects for bonus points. Beat your personal best. See exactly where you rushed or dragged. 63 built-in challenges spanning rudiments (singles, doubles, paradiddles, rolls, gallops), grooves, world rhythms (tresillo, son clave, rumba, cáscara, mozambique, bossa nova, samba, baião, bembé), compound and odd meters, and odd subdivisions. From first-week beginner to serious drummer. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Real-time onset detection — the app hears your strokes and scores them instantly • Six-tier accuracy grading based on millisecond timing • Combo multipliers and personal-best tracking that make practice addictive • Rushing / dragging analysis per session — know your tendencies • Timing precision scatter plot and beat distribution charts • Per-device latency calibration that auto-corrects AirPods drift • Works with drum pads, snare, hand percussion, claves, djembe • 20–360 BPM, all standard subdivisions, accents • Hold the tempo to type it, tap it, or slide a ruler • True dark-first design, optimized for OLED FREE FOREVER • Full metronome — every subdivision, tempo ramp, ghost measures • Every click sound • Unlimited free practice with live timing feedback • Assist: playing a different part than the click? If it slips for two bars, the click steps back and your notes play until you're back on track. Those bars stay out of your accuracy • Every analysis screen, unblurred — distribution, precision, rushing and dragging • Every challenge in the library, playable. Nothing is locked • 6 minutes of challenge time a day, spent on whatever you choose • Your last 7 sessions No challenge is behind the subscription. What's metered is time: 6 minutes a day, topping back up as the day goes — four times faster while you're practicing. Run out and any challenge still gives you a free 25-second run, as many as you like. Tempo ramp and ghost measures are premium features in competing apps. Here they're free, forever. The metronome you'd pay for, included. RHYTHMFORGE PRO Unlock everything with a 7-day free trial: • Unlimited challenge time — the meter disappears • Pattern builder — create your own rhythms, loop them, score them • Triplet and sixteenth targets — play any subdivision over any click • Per-beat pattern editing • Full session history, unlimited FOR WHO Drummers. Percussionists. Guitarists who play rhythmically. Music students. Teachers. Anyone who knows that timing is the foundation of everything musical — and wants to actually measure where theirs stands. Privacy: RhythmForge never uploads your audio. All timing detection runs on-device. Analytics are anonymous and aggregated. Requires iOS 17 or later. Microphone permission required for timing feedback. Terms of Service: https://rhythmforge.app/terms
What’s new
Version 1.8.0 · Updated October 20, 2026
More room to play. • More room to play: in practice mode the tempo ring folds into a strip at the top as you scroll, so the timeline gets up to four rows, and nothing hides under the controls on an iPhone SE. A status line says whether it's ready, counting in, listening or paused, and tells you when the room is too noisy to hear you. • Your timing as you play: a word says how steady you are (Locked, Steady, Drifting or Erratic), and the line beside it shows whether you're rushing or dragging, and how much. After the session, Internal Pulse uses the same words, and arrows replace the hare and the tortoise, with rushing always on the left. • Surface ringing: if the table under your phone rings after each hit, the mic hears a second hit. Practice mode and challenges now tell you once, so you can put the phone on something solid. • Assist: when you play your own subdivision and the pattern slips for two bars, the click steps back and your notes play until you're back in. Those bars don't count toward your accuracy, and the session shows where Assist was on. Switch it off under I play. • Type or tap a tempo: hold the tempo to open a sheet where you can type it, tap it in rhythm or slide a ruler. Holding no longer starts tap tempo on the ring. The sheet has its own Tap pad. • Ring gestures: turn the ring's edge to fine-tune 1 BPM at a time, or tap the edge in rhythm to set the tempo. Hold the arrows to keep going. Ring gestures, in Settings and in the Practice screen's menu, lists them all. • Small fixes and improvements.
