Hardware-grade metronome & tuner

A metronome and tuner that
never guess.

Every click is scheduled on the audio hardware clock, sample by sample. Every pitch is measured with a high-resolution detector and smoothed until the needle settles. Clave doesn't drift, and it doesn't guess.

01 / The timing is the point

Every click lands
on the hardware clock.

Software timers drift. Clave does not. Every click is scheduled on the audio hardware clock, sample by sample, and the new tempo takes effect on the next beat — so the pulse never stumbles mid-bar.

01

Sample by sample

Not a software timer. The beat lamps are drawn into the display's extended dynamic range, so on an HDR iPhone the downbeat is above SDR white.

↗
02

Four layers you mix like a mixer

Quarter, eighth, sixteenth and triplet faders, with accents, swing, presets and a staff view that follows the bar.

↗
03

A tuner that knows the instrument in your hands

High-resolution pitch detection and a smoothed needle that settles on a note instead of jittering on a number.

03 / Watch it work

Change the tempo.
The pulse holds.

From the first click to the final note, Clave keeps the panel out of your way and the signal in focus. This is the free instrument, doing exactly what it promises.

Start with the beat.

Tempo dial, six rhythm patterns, tap tempo and a click that stays locked to the hardware clock.

Porcelain

Warm ivory and soft amber. A quiet face for long sessions.

Six of the eleven finishes, shown as you scroll.

06 / On iPad

The same panel.
More room to play.

Clave uses the iPad canvas for a wider stage: portrait, one-handed where it matters, and laid out for a music stand when it doesn't.

07 / Practice leaves a trail

Streaks, levels
and time on task.

Clave keeps the record so you can keep the habit. Home and Lock Screen widgets, a Live Activity and the Apple Watch app all read from the same local practice log. Turn on optional iCloud sync and the record, presets and custom tunings follow you to your other devices — off until you ask for it.
