About
RunTempo is a running metronome. Pick a tempo, press START, and match your
footsteps to a steady beat — the simplest way to hold an even cadence from
the first kilometre to the last.
WHY A BEAT?
Most runners slow down without noticing. A metronome makes your rhythm
audible, so your body locks onto it and stays there. Runners use cadence
training to run smoother, reduce overstriding, and finish stronger.
HOW IT WORKS
- Choose your tempo on a precise ruler (with haptic ticks)
- Pick where you run: Outdoor, Trail, or Indoor
- Set a goal in kilometres or minutes
- Press START and follow the beat
ON YOUR RUN
- GPS distance and pace for outdoor and trail runs
- Keeps ticking with the screen locked or music playing
- Pause anytime — distance never counts while you are stopped
- Reaching your goal doesn't stop your run: a banner celebrates,
you keep going as long as you like
RECOVER, THEN GO AGAIN
Mid-run, switch to a guided recovery breath: three sharp exhales, then
slow nasal breathing — then get back on the beat.
AFTER THE RUN
Name your run, log how it felt, and see your time and distance.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
