CadenceBeep is a minimalist metronome built for runners. Lock in a steady cadence (steps per minute), improve your form, and keep your pace consistent over long distances. It plays alongside your music and keeps running in the background — even when your screen is off. KEY FEATURES • Adjustable SPM from 100 to 220 • Popular cadence presets: 150 · 160 · 170 · 180 • Accent options: emphasize every 2, 3, or 4 beats • Three sounds: High tone, Low tone, Click • Volume control slider • Plays simultaneously with your music • Background playback supported • No ads · No account required · Works fully offline WHO IT'S FOR • Runners aiming to raise their cadence intentionally • Anyone wanting consistent pacing on long runs • Runners refining form with a steady, audible beat • People who want a clean metronome instead of relying on music BPM TIPS A running cadence in the 170–180 SPM range is often associated with lower injury risk. Don't jump straight to the target — measure your current cadence first, then nudge it up by ~5 SPM at a time. Wearing earphones helps the beep blend naturally with your footfalls. Turn on Accent to lock the rhythm in, especially when your pace starts to drift.
