See picture, and note the bit at the top, saying I needed to install an app because my device had been hacked.
This is an advert.

Anyhow I rage bought an actual wooden metronome πŸ™‚

It's much nicer, I can go play outside in the shade too πŸ˜ƒ

It's a 'Whittner', made in Germany. Mine was second hard, about 30gbp. There are new wood and wood effect ones here:

I love the vibes of this little box one.

Mechanical metronome is definitely better than an app. They look nice, sound nice, and they don't ring, buzz, advertise, or otherwise interrupt your music time.

I got a second hand one, but there are some old school wooden metronomes still being made. I guess they look really good on top of a piano too.
