Metronome X
Metronome X is a digital metronome application for macOS that provides a steady beat for musicians and students learning to keep time. It allows users to adjust tempo in beats per minute (BPM), select from various time signatures, and choose different sound options for the metronome click. The app serves musicians practicing instruments, singers, dancers, drummers, and anyone needing a reliable timing reference for rehearsal or performance preparation.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent public information about Metronome X, so it is unclear whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or whether the project is still under active development. Since the app currently runs under Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs, it will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028) unless a native build becomes available before then. Contact the developer (look for contact details on their website or within the app's About menu) to ask whether a native version is planned. In the meantime, if you need a backup metronome, there are several actively maintained native alternatives available on the Mac App Store, including Metronome (by Dmitry Solomakha) and Tempo, both of which run natively on Apple Silicon. Given that you have roughly two years before the September 2028 deadline, checking in with the developer now is your best option.
