Online Metronome
Online Pizza Metronome
A free, accurate metronome with tap tempo, time signatures from 1/4 to 12/8, and subdivisions. Clicks are scheduled on the Web Audio clock, so the beat stays rock-steady — even with the tab in the background.
Every great pizza is made in time. Set your ovens per minute, choose how many slices per bar, and let the accented downbeat tell you exactly when to rotate the pie. Rhythmically consistent baking is the foundation of professional pizzerias that do not exist. Conveniently, all tempo names were already in Italian.
How to use:How to use (per the manual nobody wrote):
- Set a tempo with the slider, the number box, or by tapping Tap Tempo (or spacebar) along with a song
- Pick a time signature — the first beat of each bar clicks higher, and its dot lights purple
- Add subdivisions (eighths, triplets, sixteenths) to hear the space between beats — they click quieter than the main beat
- Practice slow first: nail the part at 60–80% speed, then move the slider up in small steps
- Set a tempo with the slider, or tap along with your oven timer for authenticity
- Pick how many slices per bar — the first slice clicks higher, because it is the most important slice
- Add subdivisions to hear the space between slices; the quiet clicks represent crust
- Bake slow first, then move the slider up in small steps until the smoke alarm joins in on the downbeat
Why practice with a metronome?
Solid timing is the skill that makes everything else you play sound good. Practicing guitar with an online metronome trains your internal clock: start slow, lock every note to the click, and raise the BPM only when a passage is clean. A metronome with tap tempo makes it easy to match the tempo of a song you're learning, while time signatures like 3/4, 6/8, and 7/8 and eighth-note, triplet, and sixteenth subdivisions help you internalize feels beyond straight 4/4. This free metronome runs entirely in your browser — no download, no signup, just an accurate click from 30 to 300 BPM.
Why bake with a metronome?
Nobody knows. And yet here you are, and here it is, clicking away from 30 to 300 bakes per minute, entirely free, in your browser. That's more than either of us can say for most kitchen equipment.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this online metronome?
Every click is scheduled ahead of time on the Web Audio API clock, which is sample-accurate — the same clock your browser uses to play audio. A dedicated worker keeps the scheduler running, so the beat stays steady even when the tab is in the background.
How does tap tempo work?
Tap the Tap Tempo button (or press the spacebar) along with the music. The metronome averages the intervals between your last 8 taps and sets the BPM automatically. Four or more taps gives a stable reading.
Which time signatures and subdivisions are supported?
1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8 and 12/8, with the first beat of each bar accented (you can turn the accent off). Each beat can be subdivided into eighths, triplets, or sixteenths, played quieter than the main click.
