BPM means beats per minute. A setting of 60 BPM produces one beat per second, while 120 BPM produces two beats per second.

What BPM should I practice at?

Start at a tempo where you can play the passage accurately and without tension. Increase it gradually only after the rhythm feels consistent.

What does the time signature change?

It changes how clicks are grouped into measures. The metronome accents the first beat, helping you hear where each bar begins.

How is this more precise than a JavaScript timer?

Clicks are generated by an AudioWorklet on the audio rendering thread, which is designed for real-time audio and is less affected by busy interface code.

Can I find a BPM by tapping?

Yes. Use the BPM Tapper to press along with a song, then enter the measured value in the metronome.

Does the metronome record or upload anything?

No. It synthesizes click sounds locally and does not request microphone access, upload audio or save practice sessions.
