## What is PaceBeat?

PaceBeat is a cadence training tool designed for runners.

With a clean, distraction-free interface and no ads, PaceBeat helps you build a stable running rhythm and improve your running efficiency.

Set your preferred cadence and training duration, and follow precise haptic feedback or beat sounds to keep every step consistent.

Many runners aim for a cadence around 180 steps per minute (SPM), which can help improve running form and reduce impact on the knees. PaceBeat makes cadence training simple and natural.

Key Features

• Custom cadence training  
Set your target SPM and train with a steady rhythm.

• Stage Training  
Configure different cadence and durations for warm-up, run, and cool-down. PaceBeat automatically switches stages during training.

• Haptic or sound guidance  
Follow subtle haptic taps on Apple Watch or clear beat sounds.

• Clean minimalist design  
No ads, no distractions — just focus on your run.

• One-time purchase  
No subscriptions.

PaceBeat is perfect for runners who want to improve cadence, develop rhythm, and train more efficiently.

Find your pace. Feel the beat.

### 5/5 — 能解决吗

*2026-05-08*

我在Apple Watch ultra 3上使用pacebeat｜跑步节拍器这个app，有两个问题。一是切换到手表自带的运动app时pacebeat｜跑步节拍器就停止工作了。二是我没有带手机跑步的习惯，都是只带Apple Watch，在运行pacebeat时，连接的蓝牙耳机中没有步频节拍的声音，仅手表按照节拍震动，但如果用手机运行，手机连接的蓝牙耳机就有步频节拍的声音。

**Developer response:** 感谢您的支持与详细反馈！
开发者已经注意到您所提到的问题。目前由于 watchOS 后台运行和蓝牙音频等系统限制，暂时无法完全实现你描述的使用方式。
我们会继续在苹果系统允许的范围内优化 PaceBeat 的使用体验。

### 5/5 — 软件很不错

*2026-04-14*

软件很不错，就是有一个小问题，好像没法独立在watch上运行，我尝试过独立运行，耳机听不到节拍声不知道为什么，如果是bug或许可以修复一下？整体还是很好的！解决了Apple watch没有节拍器的痛苦

**Developer response:** 感谢您的支持与反馈！  
关于您提到的 Apple Watch 独立运行问题，需要说明一下：由于系统开发限制，目前 PaceBeat 的 Watch 端独立运行模式，仅提供手表震动作为节拍提示，无提示音输出（耳机&外放）。
您的建议我已记录，未来会持续探索更多可能的交互方式。感谢您的理解和支持，祝您跑步愉快！

关于音量调节以及左右脚不同音效的建议非常有价值，我已经记录在后续版本的优化计划中。

### 5/5 — 超级好用

*2026-03-09*

超级好用非常推荐呀，我喜欢一边听小说一边跑步，因为是菜鸡跑者步频没有十分稳定，也很需要节拍器。这个节拍器跟别的音频软件不冲突非常赞，还可以根据自己的情况调整步频训练。昨天用这个节拍器跑了我人生中第一个半马，有节拍器给我保驾护航全程体感非常舒适，轻松跑完22公里！！！

**Developer response:** 感谢你的支持与喜爱！作为独立开发者，看到大家通过 PaceBeat 建立起更稳定的步频节奏，真的非常开心！后续还会持续优化App的稳定性和训练体验，如果有任何建议或对新功能的期望也欢迎跑友随时反馈。祝早日PB，健康跑好每一步！

### 5/5 — 跑步小白也可以用

*2026-03-04*

作为一名刚开始练跑的小白，我之前总是掌握不好节奏，跑两步就喘得不行。
用了 PaceBeat 之后，简直像请了个随身私教！
• 节奏感超强：跟着步频节拍走，呼吸和步伐一下子就稳了，再也不会乱冲。
• 界面清爽：操作简单，对我这种怕麻烦的人太友好了。
• 提速无压力：第一次发现原来不用拼命跑也能慢慢提速，还没那么累！

### 5/5 — 跑友们的必备神器

*2026-03-04*

半年前开始健身，在跑步时跑着跑着就会发生节奏不稳，身体不平衡的情况。以前都只能拿音乐类的节拍器来控制步频，或者花时间去排合适的歌单去踩准节拍，这些对于非音乐生来说还是有挺大的难度的。现在有了这个app，大大解决了我的痛点，直接设定自己想要的步频，一键跟着跑就好啦！而且还有applewatch版的应用，跑步期间可以完全脱离掉手机，非常方便实用！希望开发者能持续研发出更多的好功能~
