RunTempo: Cadence Metronome Your personal running metronome. No subscriptions. No nonsense. Why Cadence Training? A small change in stride frequency can make a big difference. Increasing your cadence by just 5–10% can reduce joint impact by up to 20%, helping you run faster, more efficiently, and with less injury risk. Elite runners target 170–180 steps per minute — RunTempo helps you get there. Built to Stay Out of Your Way: RunTempo isn't here to replace your favorite running app. It works alongside apps like Strava, Nike Run Club, or Apple Workouts — running quietly in the background while you track your run however you like. - Set your target BPM with simple, precise controls - Mixes seamlessly with music, podcasts, and audiobooks - Built-in timer for intervals and progressive training - Works 100% offline — no account needed Made for Apple Watch: Leave your phone behind. RunTempo runs standalone on Apple Watch with full background audio, so you hear every beat even when your wrist is down. Add the Smart Stack widget for one-tap access mid-run. No Subscriptions ever: Pay once, own it forever. No trials, no recurring charges, no ads. Just a focused tool that does one thing well. How to Get Started: Find your current natural cadence, set it as your BPM, and run to the beat. Every few weeks, bump it up by 5 SPM. Over time, you'll build a faster, smoother, lower-impact stride — without thinking about it. Whether you're recovering from injury, sharpening your form, or chasing a PR, RunTempo keeps you in rhythm. Requires watchOS 11 for Apple Watch.
