StrideBeat: Running Cadence

StrideBeat is a dead-simple running metronome that locks your steps to a target cadence — around 180 steps per minute, the sweet spot for efficient, lower-impact running. Pick your target cadence, hit start, and run to the beat. StrideBeat keeps a steady click and a haptic pulse so your feet naturally fall into rhythm. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Real cadence detection: your iPhone's motion sensor reads your actual steps per minute and shows how far you are from your target, live. - In-sync coaching: green when you're locked in, amber when you need to speed up or slow down. - Plays over your music: a gentle click sits on top of your playlist, with adjustable ducking. - Haptics: feel every beat on your iPhone while the screen is on — turn on Keep screen on while running. The click keeps going when the screen locks. - Presets: jump to 160-190 spm in one tap, with 180 marked as the running sweet spot. - Progressive step-up: nudge your target up by 2 spm each week. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No GPS, no account, no ads. - Everything stays on your iPhone. One-time purchase. No subscription, ever.
