Online Metronome & BPM Counter

A free online metronome and tap-tempo BPM counter that runs right in your browser — nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. Watch the visual pendulum swing in time, hear a clear accented downbeat, and set anything from 40 to 240 BPM with your choice of time signature, subdivisions and click sound. Flip to the BPM counter to tap out any song's tempo and find its beats per minute in seconds.

How to use the metronome

1. Set your tempo with the slider, the − / + buttons, or click the number and type a BPM.
2. Choose a time signature, a subdivision (eighths, triplets or sixteenths), and a click sound.
3. Press Start. The first beat of each measure is accented so you always know where the bar begins.
4. Follow the swinging pendulum and the pulsing beat lights to lock in your timing.

How the tap-tempo BPM counter works

Open the BPM Counter tab and tap along to any track — on your keyboard or on screen. It measures the time between your taps, averages your most recent ones for a stable number, and shows the tempo live. When you find the beat, send it straight to the metronome with one click. It's the quick way to answer "what BPM is this song?" without any guesswork.

Who it's for

Handy for guitarists, pianists, drummers, and singers practicing at a steady tempo; for students and music teachers who need a reliable classroom metronome; and for producers and DJs matching the BPM of a reference track. Because it's browser-based, it works the same on a phone, tablet, laptop, or the classroom projector.
