Stride Metronome

Stride Metronome keeps your cadence on a steady beat and tells you when to run and when to walk, with your phone in your pocket and the screen off. It brings together two things runners usually need separate apps for: a cadence metronome and a run/walk interval timer. Both work by voice, sound and vibration, so you never have to look at the screen mid-stride. Every session is recorded with time, distance, pace and a map of your route, and nothing ever leaves your phone. Great for beginner runners, injured runners getting back out there, and experienced runnings looking to extend their mileage and distance. CADENCE METRONOME A clean, steady tick at any cadence from 120 to 220 steps per minute. It is timed in audio samples, not by a software timer, so it holds its tempo for an hour without drifting. It plays over your music or podcast without turning it down. RUN/WALK INTERVALS Set a run time and a walk time in 5-second steps, or tap a preset. The app alternates them for as long as you keep going, no interval count and no total time restriction. Start with a spoken 3-2-1 countdown. SPOKEN CUES AND VIBRATION "Start running" and "Start walking" at every switch, in your phone's own voice. Your music or podcast dips while the voice speaks and comes straight back. Two buzzes for run, one for walk, so you feel the switch too. Each cue can be switched off. BUILT FOR A POCKET Everything runs with the screen locked. The live screen is for a glance: the whole screen turns green while you run and blue while you walk, with the time left in large type. Stop has to be held for a second, so a bump never ends a run. DISTANCE, PACE AND ROUTE GPS distance for the whole session, split into running and walking, with average pace for each. A map of your route, coloured by running and walking. Every segment with its own time, distance and pace. Kilometres or miles. NEVER LOSES A RUN The session in progress is saved every 30 seconds. If the app is closed mid-run, the run appears in History the next time you open it. A phone call pauses the sound but not the clock, so your intervals stay on schedule. MADE FOR New runners building up with short run intervals. Runners coming back from injury on a run/walk program from a physiotherapist, who need the intervals timed exactly and a record to show at the next appointment. Runners told to take quicker, shorter steps. Experienced runners using walk breaks to go further. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in, no ads, no tracking. Your location is used only during a session, for distance and the map, and is never sent anywhere. Stride Metronome is a training aid, not a medical device. If you are recovering from an injury, follow your doctor's or physiotherapist's plan.
