Keep time with precision, right in the browser — free, nothing to install. Set the BPM (or find it with TAP), choose the time signature and subdivision and practice with an accented click on the first beat. For the visual, pick the classic pendulum or the digital display.
Drag the slider or use the − and + buttons. Not sure of the tempo? Tap TAP along with the song.
2/4, 3/4, 4/4 or 6/8 — the first beat sounds accented so you never get lost in the bar.
The click starts right away and the visual follows every beat. The space bar also starts and stops.
Start at a comfortable tempo and raise it little by little — only speed up once the passage comes out clean three times in a row.
A metronome trains your inner sense of time. Pick a short passage, play it at a tempo where you make no mistakes, and only then speed up — 4 BPM at a time works well.
If the rhythm has off-beats or syncopation, turn on the subdivisions (eighth notes, triplets or sixteenth notes): the softer clicks between beats show where each note belongs.
Later on, try practicing with the metronome marking only the off-beat — a great test of rhythmic independence.
Beats per minute — the speed of the music. At 60 BPM one beat falls every second; at 120 BPM, two. The classic tempo name (Allegro, Adagio...) shows below the control.
It marks the start of each bar. Hearing a stronger "1", you feel the cycle of the bar (say, the 3 beats of a waltz) and never lose count.
Softer clicks between the beats: eighth notes split each beat in 2, triplets in 3 and sixteenth notes in 4. They help you place fast or syncopated rhythms without rushing.

Yes. The clicks are scheduled by the browser's audio clock, accurate to the millisecond — the same one music apps use. Nothing is sent to the internet.
