Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based metronome and tap-tempo tool with adjustable meters, accents, subdivisions, sounds, and practice guidance.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

BeatDig combines a metronome with a Tap BPM estimator and exposes unusually detailed rhythm controls: meters from 2/4 through 12/8, subdivisions including triplets and sixteenth notes, editable accents, and four click timbres. The page states that Tap BPM averages the latest eight intervals, rejects intervals more than 40% from the median, and resets after three seconds of silence. Its timing design separates a Web Worker from audio scheduling so clicks can be queued ahead of playback.
