Everything you save, in one place.
Jump back into what you were working on.
Choose the workflow that matches what you have. Both paths end in the same precise measure, subdivision, editing, MIDI, save, Analyze, and Warp tools.
Want TempoTapp to find the beats automatically? Use the full Analyze tool — it is still available exactly as before.
Press Start, then tap exactly how you want the music to move.
Import a recording, press Play & Tap, then tap the beat while the piece plays. Every tap is saved at the recording’s exact playback position.
Optional: add the sheet-music PDF, map your recorded beats or measure starts onto the score, then practice with a moving marker that follows your click track and turns pages automatically.
Plays the imported recording with your click track and moves the score marker using your PDF anchors.
The guide moves only while recording or replaying.
Build the musical structure around your taps. Meter changes group the primary beats into measures; subdivisions add extra click sounds without changing the timing anchors.
Start with the opening signature, then add changes at the measure where they begin.
Add extra clicks only where you need them. For example, measures 9–16 can have triplets while the rest stays on the main beat.
Finish a recording to remove a section.

Each version keeps its own warp settings and audio outputs.
The finished recording without test clicks.
Download Clean WAVThe same saved warp with its timing ruler mixed in.
Download WAV + ClicksTempoTapp listens for the performed pulse and creates an editable click grid that follows the recording itself — including local tempo changes and rubato. This analysis is separate from warping.
Choose the performance you want TempoTapp to understand.
These inputs remove the musical ambiguities that confuse automatic beat trackers.
For difficult piano or heavy rubato, these are more useful than typing a BPM.
Play the recording and tap 4–12 beats the way a musician would conduct them. TempoTapp uses them as phase and local-tempo anchors — not as an average BPM.
If you know where bar 1 begins, move the player there and mark it. This makes bar/downbeat labeling much more reliable.
This is TempoTapp’s click track for the imported audio. Review it before you warp.
TempoTapp reports changes by beat number. You can correct the map in plain language.
Keep the analyzed primary beat map intact, then add extra click subdivisions by measure. This can change section by section.
Play anywhere in the recording. TempoTapp overlays clicks for the entire analyzed beat map, not just the opening bars.
Add audio, use its analyzed beat map, choose your click track, and TempoTapp reshapes the timing.
TempoTapp changes timing, not notes. Short gaps in your click track make the recording move faster; long gaps stretch it slower while preserving pitch.
Your recording and click track do not need the same number of beats.
Choose the audio you want to reshape.
Pick the click track the recording should follow.
Analyze and edit the recording’s performed beat grid before changing its timing.
The source row below comes directly from the full analyzed map above. This graph only shows how your destination click track will reshape it.
Seek anywhere in the piece. These live clicks use the exact full map from Analyze, not a new detection or a short preview.
Compare it with the original, then save or download it.

TempoTapp really comes down to three things.
Choose your default warp behavior and interface preferences.
Short answers to the things people actually need.
You create timing by tapping. Warp Audio changes when the music happens so the recording follows that timing while preserving pitch.
Open Advanced Settings in Warp and shift Beat Alignment by ½ beat earlier or later.
Open Advanced Settings and change Beat Feel to Slower or Faster, then analyze again.
Use Analyze Audio first. Give TempoTapp the meter, counted pulse, subdivision feel, timing style, pickup information, and—when needed—a few tapped reference beats or the first downbeat. Then review and drag the generated source beat map before warping.
Fit Whole Recording spreads your timing shape across the full recording. Match Beginning maps your clicks to the first source beats, then eases back to the recording’s natural tempo.
Very large slowdowns or speedups require heavier time-stretching. TempoTapp preserves pitch and cleans tiny clicks, but extreme changes can still sound more processed.
Click tracks and saved warp projects are stored on this device only, inside TempoTapp’s private app storage. Downloaded MIDI click tracks and WAV warp files go to your normal Downloads or Files location.
Nothing. TempoTapp has no server. Your recordings, sheet music, click tracks, and account details never leave this device. Your library and saved audio are encrypted on this device with a key unlocked by your password, so a signed-out account’s data cannot be read even by someone with full access to the device. For the same reason there is no password reset. The only network activity is loading the PDF and Studio-Quality audio engines, and the app ships with built-in copies so that normally happens offline too.
Yes. In My Click Tracks, press Share on any track to export a small .tempotap.json file, then send it by AirDrop, Messages, email, or any file-sharing service. Recipients open My Click Tracks → Import shared track on their own device and account. Nothing goes through a server; the file contains only the tap timings and settings, not audio or sheet music.
Analyze can use a small neural network (BeatNet, 1.6 MB) that was trained on thousands of real performances to find beats, downbeats, and the time signature directly from the sound — it handles rubato, piano, and ambiguous meters far better than the classic onset detector. It runs entirely on this device in a background thread; your recording is never uploaded. If the AI engine cannot load, TempoTapp automatically uses the classic detector and tells you. The AI beat tracker uses BeatNet by Mojtaba Heydari, Frank Cwitkowitz and Zhiyao Duan (ISMIR 2021), licensed CC BY 4.0, with a beat-tracking decoder after Krebs, Böck and Widmer (ISMIR 2015).
Open Account → Delete account. That permanently removes your account, every saved click track, and every saved warp project and its audio from this device. There is no copy anywhere else to recover from, so download anything you want to keep first.
TempoTapp will save both the clean warp and the click-overlay test version to your account.
Permanently deletes your account, folders, saved click tracks, and saved warped audio.
This cannot be undone. Your saved click tracks, warped audio, and folders will be permanently deleted.
Are you sure you want to log out? Saved click tracks and warped audio will stay in your account.
