I'm a software engineer and musician, and I got tired of every metronome app out there feeling like it was designed in 2005. So I built my own.

Yames (Yet Another Metronome Everyone Skips) is a free, open-source desktop metronome built with Rust and Tauri. Sub-millisecond timing precision, 10+ handcrafted themes, and it's designed to get out of your way so you can focus on practice.

I'm looking for developers and musicians to help test it and give feedback. It's cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Linux) and takes 10 seconds to install.

Speed Drill

Set a start BPM, end BPM, and bars per step. Hit play and the metronome auto-ramps for you. No more fiddling with the tempo dial mid-practice.

Zen Mode

Press Z and everything disappears. Fullscreen immersive visuals that pulse with the beat — particles, waves, cosmos.…
