Pendl
Keep time. In colour.
A serious, no-nonsense metronome with a sample-accurate click and a colour-coded beat ring. Odd meters, accents, subdivisions, swing and polyrhythm — nothing in your way.
What it does
Odd meters & accents
From 4/4 to 7/8 grouped 3+2+2 — set any time signature and tap each beat to place the accents.
Subdivisions & swing
Fill the beat with eighths, triplets or sixteenths, or dial in a swing from straight to hard shuffle.
Tap, count-in & haptics
Tap the tempo, roll a one- or two-bar count-in, and feel every beat through a downbeat-aware haptic.
The beat-weight channel
Every beat carries a weight.
Colour does in rhythm what it does in tuning. Each beat’s emphasis — downbeat, accent, normal or mute — shows in how tall and saturated it sits. Tap a beat to cycle it; build any odd-meter feel you need.
- Downbeat Beat one
- Accent A secondary stress
- Normal An even pulse
- Mute Skip the click
Questions
What time signatures and meters does Pendl support?
Any — from 4/4 to odd meters like 5/4 and 7/8 grouped 3+2+2. Tap each beat to place accents, downbeats and mutes, and build any feel you need.
Can Pendl play polyrhythms and subdivisions?

Does Pendl work without the internet or a microphone?
Yes. Pendl needs no microphone, account or connection — the click is generated on your device and it works fully offline.
Is Pendl free?
