Settings
Settings is one screen with three tabs. Most of what it holds is explained on the page for the thing it affects; this is the map.
Utilities
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Export data | Writes your saved Grooves to a file. Disabled while you have none. See Export and import. |
| Import data | Reads a Metronomo export file back, merging or replacing. |
Preferences
| Control | Options | Explained on |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | System, Light, Dark | Below. |
| Beat | Percussive, Tonal | Sound and volume |
| BPM slider resolution | 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 | Tempo |
| Tempo: Apply while sliding | On, off | Tempo |
| Pause: Play after rest | On, off | Count in and timers |
| Pause: Customize alerts | On, off — off by default | Count in and timers |
The last three are switches, and each one’s label is part of its target: press the word or the switch.
Appearance sets light or dark for the app. System — the default — follows whatever your device is set to, including a scheduled switch at dusk.
Every preference here belongs to the device, not to a Groove. Loading a Groove changes none of them. Neither does importing a file.
About
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Analytics | Share anonymous usage data, or Don’t share. |
| App version | The version and build you are running. Tap and hold to copy. |
| Install ID | The anonymous string that identifies this installation. Tap and hold to copy. |
Analytics starts switched on. Turning it off stops collection immediately and on every launch after, and every feature keeps working. What is collected while it is on is itemized in the Privacy Policy.
The Install ID is a meaningless string generated on your device at install — not a name, an email address, or any advertising or device serial ID. It is the only handle that ties analytics records to one installation, which makes it the thing to include both in a bug report and in a data-deletion request. Both are covered on Support, and the Privacy Policy states exactly what it is and is not.
