Synclock is a tiny menu bar app that keeps your synths, drum machines, and Ableton Link in perfect time. Set a tempo, hit play, and get back to making music. No DAW required.
The clock stays steady even when the Mac is busy, so the groove doesn't drift mid-set.
Grooveboxes, synths, drum machines, interfaces. If it speaks MIDI, it shows up. Enable each one, nickname it, and dial in its timing.
Flip it on and Synclock shares one tempo and downbeat with every Link app and device on the network. Off, it runs its own clock.
No account, no subscription, no telemetry. GPLv2: the source is yours to read, build, and trust.
macOS 13 or later, on Apple Silicon.
Free and open source. A star or a coffee keeps it going.
