About MNTN
MNTN is a free web-based tool that integrates a metronome and tuner in one screen. With the concept "Your musical foundation, one screen," it supports musicians' practice sessions.
Why We Built MNTN
Two essential tools for music practice: a metronome and a tuner.
However, in most apps and web tools, these functions are separated. During practice, you face the hassle of "practice with metronome → switch to tuner app for tuning → switch back to metronome."
"Why can't we put these two frequently-used functions on one screen?"
This simple idea gave birth to MNTN.
Additionally, traditional metronomes have a problem called "metronome dependency"—musicians can't play steadily without the click sound. Internal timing (inner sense of rhythm) doesn't develop.
MNTN was developed to solve both of these challenges.

What is Backbeat Mode?
The most distinctive feature of MNTN is "Backbeat Mode," which gradually reduces click sounds to develop internal timing.
Lv1: All Beats
Clicks sound on every beat.
Lv2: Backbeat Emphasis
In 4/4 time, beats 2 and 4 are emphasized with louder clicks.
Lv3: Backbeats Only
In 4/4 time, clicks sound only on beats 2 and 4. You must maintain beats 1 and 3 internally.
Lv4: Complete Silence
No click sounds at all, only visual feedback. You rely entirely on your internal timing.
Start with Lv1 until stable, then progress to Lv2. Once Lv2 is stable, advance to Lv3, then Lv4. This gradual training helps you develop a stable sense of rhythm independent of the metronome.
