You can play it slow. You can't play it fast.
RhythmRamp closes the gap. It's the practice metronome that ramps its own tempo: set a start, a target, and a step size, and it walks you up while you play — then stops when you own it.

One app instead of four
Metronome. Chromatic tuner. Recorder. Setlists. Practice history.
Most musicians end up with a different app for each of those, and a home screen full of them. RhythmRamp is all five, built to work together — tune up, hit record, ramp the passage, and the session logs itself.
RhythmRamp Features
Core Features
- Tempo Ramping: Set a start tempo, a target, and a step size. RhythmRamp walks the tempo up while you play, then stops when you reach your target.
- Subdivision Control: Practice eighths, triplets, and sixteenths — right through quintuplets, septuplets, and octuplets.
- Sound Library: Choose from clicks, percussion, and drum-kit sounds across 28 coordinated themes.
- Setlists & Presets: Save and organize songs, exercises, and performance setups for instant recall.
Tuner & Recorder
- Chromatic Tuner: Tune any instrument with real-time pitch detection — no second app, no second purchase.
- Record Your Practice: Capture a take while the click runs, then listen back. The fastest way to hear what you actually sound like, not what you think you sound like.
- Tune, Then Play: Tuner and metronome live in the same app, so warming up doesn't mean app-switching.
Smart Practice Tools
- Practice Session Tracker: Log every session and keep a record of what you've worked on.
- Progress Analytics: See your improvements over time with charts and insights — and they stay on your device.
- Motivation Built-In: Visual feedback and streaks help make practice feel rewarding.
For Bands & Performers
- Band Sync: Put the whole band on the leader's click over your local Wi-Fi — each musician on their own iPhone or iPad, each running their own copy of the app.
- Setlists on Stage: Build a whole set with per-song tempo, meter, and clave, then play straight through it.
- Accents & Clave Patterns: Accent any beat, mute a range to test your internal time, or lock in one of 10 clave patterns.
For Learners & Educators
- Beginner-Friendly: Simple interface with powerful features that grow as you do.
- Engaging for Kids: Fun sounds, themes, and progress tracking keep practice from feeling like a chore.
- Lead the whole class: With Band Sync, the teacher runs the click and every student's device follows on its own copy of the app — nudge the tempo up or down and the whole room moves together, even with everyone on headphones.
- Teacher Insights: Practice history and progress charts live right in the student's app — open them together at the start of a lesson to see exactly what got practiced.
No subscription. No ads. No account.
Read the reviews of any popular metronome app and you'll notice the one-star complaints are almost never about the click. They're about the billing.
Apps in this category charge by the week. They grey out the "skip" button on the trial screen. One of the biggest ones let a church musician build a 65-song setlist, then capped it at 10 after an update unless he subscribed. Subdivisions — the thing a metronome is for — routinely sit behind a paywall.
RhythmRamp is $4.99, once. Every feature is in the box, Band Sync included. Nothing to cancel, nothing to renew, no account to create, no ads to sit through, and your practice data never leaves your phone. Try the whole thing free for 14 days first.
That $4.99 covers your device. Band Sync links copies of the app, so each bandmate who joins a session needs RhythmRamp on their own iPhone or iPad — their own $4.99, or their own free trial. Apple Family Sharing can cover one household.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most metronomes just click. RhythmRamp makes you faster. It walks your tempo up while you play, so the passage you can't play at 120 is the one you own at 160. Add setlists, on-device practice analytics, and Band Sync across everyone's iPhones, and it's built for both the practice room and the stage.
Yes — a chromatic tuner with real-time pitch detection is built in, and it works for any instrument. It's included in the same one-time $4.99 purchase, so you don't need a separate tuner app or a second subscription just to get in tune before you practice.
Really. RhythmRamp is a one-time $4.99 purchase with a 14-day free trial, and every feature — tempo ramping, the tuner, setlists, recording, practice analytics, and Band Sync — is included. There's no weekly plan, no locked subdivisions, no ads, and no account to create.
Yes. You can send your setlists to other iPhone or iPad users via Messages or AirDrop. Just tap the Share button in your setlist, choose how you'd like to send it, and your friend can instantly load it into RhythmRamp.
Yes. Band Sync connects copies of RhythmRamp to one another, so every musician who joins a session needs the app on their own iPhone or iPad — a one-time $4.99 each, or free during their 14-day trial.
To be plain about it: buying one copy does not sync a room full of devices that don't have the app. There is nothing the leader can install or broadcast that puts a bandmate's phone on the click for them. Apple Family Sharing can cover the members of one household.
Both. Band Sync connects your devices directly to one another over your local Wi-Fi network, using Bluetooth for discovery — so your click never travels over the internet or a cellular connection. Every device must be on the same Wi-Fi network, with Bluetooth switched on and everyone within normal room range.
One more setting matters: on every device, turn on Settings → General → Date & Time → “Set Automatically.” RhythmRamp relies on network time to keep all your devices in step, so there is no fully offline mode.
Band Sync works between iPhone and iPad. RhythmRamp is an Apple app and there is no Android version, so every musician in a session needs an Apple device.
Absolutely. RhythmRamp is designed to be easy for new musicians but powerful enough for professionals. Students enjoy the fun sounds and progress tracking, while advanced users benefit from deep customization and analytics.
RhythmRamp works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so you can practice on the go, at home, or in the studio.
Yes. RhythmRamp's Set List and Band Sync features were designed for live use. You can build your entire show, play to one shared click with your bandmates, and stay on tempo throughout the performance. Each bandmate joins from their own copy of the app.
