Instead of MagicBPM
MagicBPM alternatives
MagicBPM combines live tempo detection with a metronome: it listens through a microphone, updates its BPM reading as music plays, and shows when the reading settles. Its scrolling tempogram tracks tempo changes, and song identification can connect a detected track with music services. The metronome reaches 300 BPM and supports eight time signatures, accented downbeats, and subdivisions. The free core app runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and the web, though the free iPhone and Android apps show ads.

The fit changes if you need to import audio files, create custom time signatures, or identify songs without an internet connection. MagicBPM measures microphone audio or a tapped beat, and song identification is switched off on CarPlay and Bluetooth hands-free routes. Compare alternatives by the rhythms they can program, their practice tools, tempo ranges, and supported devices. A dedicated metronome may suit a practice routine better, while MagicBPM’s live detection and song identification matter most when you want to find a track’s tempo as it plays.
