Groove Metronome: a free online metronome you can see

Set a tempo and time signature and the metronome shows every beat and subdivision on a dial while it clicks, so you can see where you are in the bar as well as hear it. You can accent some beats, ghost or mute others, add swing, and choose the click sound.

For deeper practice there are polyrhythm and polymeter modes, a practice ramp that speeds you up gradually, a mute trainer that drops the click out so you keep time yourself, setlists for gigs, Indian rhythm presets such as Teentaal and Keherva, and an analyzer that suggests the tempo of an audio or MIDI file.
