Chubby Click - Metronome vs YAM
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Chubby Click - Metronome
NOTE: The app is no longer developed. Chubby Click is a metronome designed for the musician that needs to easily manage a setlist of songs. The app features three sections: * A conventional metronome with tap tempo * A Setlist where songs can be added and sorted, and where the click for each song can be started/stopped with a single tap * A Practice section where metronome can be programmed to automatically increase/decrease BPM over time * Each beat in a bar can be accented or muted Setlists can be exported and imported. Sound (notes pitch and duration) can be customized and two presets are provided. The metronome can be controlled using media buttons on an external device (e.g. Bluetooth headphones).
YAM
Yet Another Metronome (YAM) is a simplistic metronome app I built as an amateur musician looking for a free, ad-free, and powerful alternative. Most apps I tried had a BPM (beats per minute) limit around 200, which felt too restrictive. I wanted something much faster, so I built it myself. * Simple and clean interface * Light and dark mode support with a quick toggle * High BPM support (up to 600) beyond typical app limits * High beat number support (up to 20) * Completely free and open-source (GPLv3 License) * Free and most importantly, no ads
