Practice statistics

Open statistics

Statistical Charts in the menu shows your practice record. Anything played for 10 seconds or more is recorded.

If you are not signed in, you can see how it works with sample data.

Statistics are fully available with a free account.

Year tab

The Year tab shows your total practice time, this week's time (and the difference from last week), how many of the last 30 days you practiced and your average on those days, your week streak (the number of weeks in a row you practiced), and a practice calendar for the past year. Each square in the calendar is one day, and the longer you practiced, the darker it gets. Tap a square to see that day's time.

Week streak

Your streak continues as long as you practice at least one day each week (weeks start on Monday). If you have not practiced yet this week, it does not break until the week ends.

Weekly goal

Set a weekly goal (30 minutes to 7 hours) to see your progress this week and how much time is left to reach it. Your goal is saved to your account, so it is the same on your other devices.

Practice schedule

Open Practice schedule from the menu to plan when you'll practice on a monthly calendar. Schedules are saved to your account, so you need to sign in.

Press + next to the day's heading to set a title, date, time, and how it repeats: once, every day, every week on the days you pick, monthly on the same date, or monthly on a weekday such as the 2nd Tuesday. Months without the date (for example the 31st) are skipped. Turn on Set an end date to stop repeating after a given day.

You can also pick a color (match the theme color, or one of six), set how long you'll practice, and pick a saved setting to practice with. From your saved settings list, ⋯ › Schedule with this setting adds a session with that setting already selected.

Days with sessions get a dot on the calendar. Use Month and Week at the top to switch between the monthly calendar and a week view that places sessions on a timeline. Today takes you back to today. In the week view, drag across an empty area to add a session for that time (or just click to start at that time). Drag a session to move it to another day or time, or drag its top or bottom edge to change when it starts or ends; for a repeating session, choose whether to move only that session or all of them. Select a day to list its sessions below, and press a session to edit or delete it. Opening a repeating session shows the date and time of the one you pressed; when you save changes, choose whether they apply to only that session or to all of them. When you delete a repeating session, choose whether to delete only that session, that session and the ones after it, or all of them.

At the scheduled time, and the chosen number of minutes before, you get a notification in the bell in the header. If you turn on push notifications for this browser in the Notifications tab of your account settings, they arrive as browser notifications even when the tab is closed. While the app is open, they also appear at the bottom of the screen. Tapping a notification opens the saved setting you picked for the schedule. Turn them off per schedule with "Notify me for this session", or all at once with "Practice schedule reminders" in the Notifications tab of your account settings. The iOS app receives them as push notifications too, if you allow notifications.

While a session is underway (from its start for the length you set, or 30 minutes if you didn't set one), a Practicing bar appears above the bar at the bottom of the screen with the session's name and the time elapsed since it started. Press the time to switch to the time left until it ends. Press × to hide the bar for the rest of that session. This browser (or this device, in the iOS app) remembers whether you chose elapsed or remaining time, and which sessions you hid. If the session has a saved setting to practice with, its name appears after the session's name; press it to open that setting.

Times use the time zone of the browser you created the session in, and stay at the same local time across daylight saving changes.

Turn on the PLAN cell in Customize footer to open the calendar from the bar at the bottom of the screen, right above the cell. You can also assign a key to open and close the calendar in Keyboard Shortcuts (no key is assigned at first).

The iOS app opens the same calendar from Practice schedule in the menu or from the PLAN cell in the bar at the bottom. In the week view, tap an empty spot to add a session at that time. Press and hold, then move your finger to choose a time range on an empty area, or to move a session to another day or time (press and hold a session's bottom edge, then move, to change when it ends). When you connect Google Calendar, Google's screen opens inside the app.

Use Calendar sync at the top of the calendar to connect Google Calendar. Once connected, a calendar named "Metronome.fm" is created in Google Calendar and your practice sessions are written to it. When you edit or delete a session in the "Metronome.fm" calendar in Google Calendar, the change comes back here too. While syncing, a small square appears inside the Calendar sync button (it turns red when you need to reconnect).

When you connect, Google asks for three permissions. Check all three; if you leave any out, the connection won't be made. "See the list of Google calendars you're subscribed to" is used to pick which calendars to show here. "Make secondary Google calendars, and see, create, change, and delete events on them" is used to create the "Metronome.fm" calendar and write your sessions to it; nothing is written to your other calendars. "View events on all your calendars" is used to show events from the calendars you pick here, read-only.

Events from the calendars you pick under "Calendars to show here" in the sync screen appear next to your practice sessions in a lighter version of their Google Calendar color, read-only (you can't edit them here). Adding or editing a session writes it to Google Calendar right away, and changes made in Google Calendar come in when you open the calendar, every minute while it's open, and every 10 minutes otherwise. The refresh button next to Calendar sync brings them in right away. If a session was edited on both sides, the later edit wins. If you change a session in Google Calendar to a repeat that can't be set here (such as every other week or weekdays only), or make it an all-day event, it stops being a practice session and is shown as a read-only event. No Google Calendar reminders are added (reminders come from Metronome.fm's notifications).

Use Disconnect in the sync screen to disconnect Google Calendar. Leave "Also delete the Metronome.fm calendar in Google Calendar" checked to delete that calendar from Google Calendar as well. Your practice sessions here stay.

Levels and quests

Your level goes up with your practice time (10 XP per minute) and the rewards from completed quests. Levels go up to Lv.99 and never go down. Each level brings a new title, and Friko, the mascot, changes a little too.

This week's quests are three small goals each week, such as practicing on 3 days or practicing 60 minutes in total. They change every Monday, and completing one gives you an XP reward.

Your level also appears in the account section of the menu.

Milestones and celebrations

Milestones shows the total practice time (1 hour, 10 hours, 100 hours, and so on) and streaks (2 weeks, 12 weeks, 52 weeks, and so on) you have reached, and how far you are from the next ones. Milestones reached since you last opened statistics are marked as new.

When you stop playback, any new milestone, weekly goal, level, or quest you've reached is celebrated with confetti. Nothing pops up while you're practicing.

Friko appears in the celebration too. Every five levels, such as Lv.5, 10, and 15, Friko evolves from its previous look (it takes off what it was wearing and shows its new form). At other levels, the item it just put on flashes. Press Share your result to open the page for the level you just reached (your practice timeline).

Your practice timeline

Each time you level up, that day's practice results are added to your practice timeline as a new page. The first page is the day you started practicing. Open it with View timeline in the level section of the statistics, or with Share your result in a celebration.

You need a username to use the timeline. If you haven't set one, you're asked to choose one when you try to open it, and the timeline opens once you do.

Each page shows a card with your results on the day you reached that level: your level and title, that week's practice time (with progress toward your weekly goal, if you set one), your week streak, your total practice time, a calendar of the last 20 weeks, and your username and avatar. Use the row at the top of the page to move to other levels.

At first, only you can see your timeline. Turn on Make my profile and timeline public to let anyone see all of its pages. It's the same switch as on the Profile tab in account settings, so your profile becomes public too. While it's private, others who open a page only see your avatar, username, and a note that it's private.

Once it's public, the X, Threads, and Bluesky buttons open a post with the page's URL filled in. The card shows up large in the post, so you don't need to attach the image. Copy link copies the page's URL.

You can add a comment (up to 80 characters) to each page. Comments appear on the card and the page, so they can't include hurtful language, advertising, or URLs. Use Delete comment to remove one.

Weekly tab

The Weekly tab shows your practice time and active days for each week, a daily chart, and a breakdown by setting.
