## What is Live BPM?

Is your band rushing or dragging? Stop guessing and see the truth.

Live BPM is the advanced tempo monitoring tool for drummers, band leaders, and DJs. It combines a professional-grade tap tempo counter with a passive live beat detector that listens to your music and visualizes your rhythm in real-time.

Whether you are a drummer "keeping the pocket" on stage, a DJ beatmatching vinyl, or a producer analyzing a sample, Live BPM is your hands-free speedometer.

TOP FEATURES

1. Accurate BPM Counter (Tap Mode)
Use the whole screen to manually count beats. Perfect for:
• DJs & Collectors: Rapidly catalog vinyl records for your crate or find the tempo for beatmatching.
• Musicians: Measure song speed with extreme precision (supports decimals like 120.5 BPM) to set the correct starting tempo.
• Producers: Find the exact BPM of samples to sync with your DAW or MPC.

2. Live Auto-Detection (Drummer Mode)
Turn your phone into a visual metronome. The app automatically listens to the beat via the microphone and tracks tempo in real-time.
• Track Tempo Drift: See real-time deviations (+/-) from your target or previous tempo to know instantly if you are rushing or dragging.
• Guided Auto-Detect: Tap a guide tempo to lock the algorithm's focus, eliminating spikes and ensuring precise tracking even in complex rhythms.
• Hands-Free: Essential for drummers and band leaders—no need to tap the screen while playing.
• Crowd-Safe UI: Dark mode optimized for stage lighting.

3. Metronome & Rhythm Tools
• Track ID: Identify the song title and artist while measuring the beat.
• Session History: Save your tempo logs to review after your gig or practice session.
• Battery Saver: While real-time audio analysis is power-intensive, we've engineered our algorithm to be as efficient as possible, maximizing your session time without sacrificing accuracy.

### 1/5 — Obnoxious flashing

*2026-04-05*

Nope.  This one ain’t it.  There’s a huge flashing blob on the screen and all sorts of confusing text offing to compare BPM if you sign in - I sure miss the old LiveBPM.  It is the only one that really worked.  This one will give you a seizure if you look at it.

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2025-03-12*

Nice app
