About
PlayCadence is a treadmill rhythm game: your phone's mic hears your footsteps and scores your cadence (SPM) on an in-app rhythm lane.
No watch, footpod, or chest strap. Put your phone on the treadmill tray, pick a course, tap Start. Keep the app open while you run.
HOW IT PLAYS
Notes fall down a DDR-style rhythm lane. Keep your steps per minute on the course target and you hit Perfect, Great—or Miss if you drift. Build combos, chase a score of up to 1,000,000, and finish every run with a grade.
FEATURES
• Rhythm lane gameplay judged against the course's target SPM
• YouTube mix for your target cadence, playing right in the app
• Local music: free Elec and House genre packs matched to your cadence; more with the optional Music Pack. No YouTube needed, plays offline
• Cadence on the in-app HUD — big numbers and colors you can read at a glance
• Visual cadence (numbers, colors, HUD), so it works even when you can't rely on sound
• History with cadence charts, scores, and grades
• World ranking with Sign in with Apple (optional — you can skip)
• Mic only. Audio is processed on your device
WHY CADENCE?
Cadence is steps per minute. A steady target gives every indoor treadmill run a clear goal. PlayCadence turns that goal into a game.
QUICK START
1. Allow microphone access
2. Place your phone on the treadmill tray, facing the belt
3. Pick a course and tap Start
Use earphones. Keep the app open while you run — leaving it pauses the run; the mic does not run in the background.
Want more genres? The optional Music Pack is a one-time purchase (not a subscription) that unlocks Phonk, Hardstyle, K-pop, Rock, Techno, Disco and Trance, plus genres added later. Elec and House stay free. It's separate from Remove ads and does not remove ads.
PlayCadence is free with ads. Remove ads, the Music Pack, and tips are available as in-app purchases.
Not a medical device. For fitness use only.
