I had a table top metronome years ago. I disliked it as the sound and beat was tedious and distracting. I now use an app for a metronome, it’s simply called Metronome. I can change the tone of the first beat to something other than a click (I choose a drum beat or cymbal depending on my mood.)

The change in the first measure count sound helps me figure out when I’m in time or it I’ve drifted. It’s not as tedious either.

Many apps are available. Someday I might look into a digital table top but for now (7 months into proactive sessions) the free app doesn’t bother me at all and so far no ads interrupt the syncopation.
