Exclusively for Apple Watch, a metronome with tap tempo, sound, and haptics. Designed to keep working even with the screen off and guaranteed to be skip-free.
Couldn't find a working haptic metronome app for Apple Watch, so I built one
Hello all, I'm a guitar player and got an Apple Watch recently and have been looking for a haptic metronome app that actually worked well. Surprisingly, all of the ones I had downloaded had issues (despite some having thousands of reviews). Either the click would stop when I turned my wrist or when the screen went off, or the haptics were weak and completely off-tempo. Sometimes the clicks would drift over time too, which made them useless for extended practice.
As a result, I built my own! It's called Conducto: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/co....
I've been using it for daily practice and it's been rock solid. It stays running even when the screen is off, has customizable haptic patterns, and keeps perfect tempo. The key was making it a watch-only app (no iPhone dependency) and using proper background processing so it never cuts out. Took me a few months to get the timing and haptics just right, but now it's exactly what I needed.
If you've had the same issues, you might like this. If anyone wants to try it out, I might give out 20 promo codes if I get enough interest. Currently putting out feelers and am open to any feedback or ideas too.
Hey Kenny! Love what you’ve built with Conducto, the reliability is exactly what I needed. Quick question though: have you thought about adding an iPhone companion app for tracking practice sessions?
I’ve been struggling with metronome apps cutting out every time my watch screen goes dark—so cool that Conducto actually keeps going in the background! Seriously impressed by ho you nailed the haptic timing; does it work for odd time signatures too?
