Practice metronome · iPhone · iPad · Mac

You can play
it slow. You can't play
it fast.

RhythmRamp closes the gap. Set a start tempo, a target, and a step. It walks the tempo up while you keep playing, and stops climbing when you own it.

Practice alone

The climb from slow to fast, on autopilot.

Doing it by hand means stopping every couple of minutes to reach over and nudge the number. That’s exactly when most people give up and just play it too fast.

  1. RampStart, target, step and repeats per tempo. It climbs while you play.
  2. RecordCapture a take over the click, then hear what you actually sound like.
  3. TrackEvery session logs itself. The charts stay on your phone.

Up to 8 devicesA leader plus seven players. Built for a combo, a rhythm section or a sectional.

One copy per player$4.99 each, once. A five-piece band is in for $24.95, total.

How Band Sync works

The price

No subscription. No ads. No account.

Read the one-star reviews of any big metronome app. They’re almost never about the click. They’re about the billing: weekly plans, greyed-out “skip” buttons, subdivisions behind a paywall.

RhythmRamp is $4.99, once. Every feature is in the box, Band Sync included. Nothing to cancel, nothing to renew, and your practice data never leaves your phone. Try the whole thing free for 14 days first.

That $4.99 covers your device. Each bandmate who joins a Band Sync session needs their own copy, or their own free trial. With Apple Family Sharing, one purchase covers your family group.

Who made this

Built by two pianists.

RhythmRamp started with a passage a jazz pianist could play slowly and couldn’t play fast, and no good tool to close the gap. So we built one.

Tracey LarvenzProduct & engineeringJazz pianist. Has performed with Sheila E and sat in the piano chair for the Count Basie Big Band.
Susan VarnumDesign & art directionTrained as a concert pianist. More than 900 courses produced at LinkedIn Learning.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes. Band Sync connects copies of RhythmRamp, so every musician who joins a session needs the app on their own iPhone or iPad: $4.99 each, once, or free during their own 14-day trial. Buying one copy doesn’t put a room full of other phones on the click. With Apple Family Sharing, one purchase covers your family group.

Really. RhythmRamp is a one-time $4.99 purchase with a 14-day free trial, and every feature is included: tempo ramping, the tuner, setlists, recording, practice analytics and Band Sync. No weekly plan, no locked subdivisions, no ads, and no account to create.

Both. Put every device on the same Wi-Fi with Bluetooth on, in the same room. Starts, stops and tempo changes go straight between devices, never through a cloud server.

Also turn on Settings › General › Date & Time › Set Automatically on every device. RhythmRamp uses network time to keep everyone in step, so there’s no fully offline mode. Band Sync works between iPhones and iPads, with up to 8 devices in a session.

Yes. A chromatic tuner with real-time pitch detection is built in and works for any instrument. It’s part of the same $4.99, so there’s no second app to buy.

Yes. Build the whole show as a setlist with a tempo, meter and count-off for every song, then play straight through it. With Band Sync, the leader moves the band from tune to tune on one shared click, with each bandmate on their own copy of the app.

iPhone, iPad and Mac. Band Sync sessions run between iPhones and iPads. There’s no Android version.
