Cadence Beats was built out of a simple frustration — there wasn't a clean, reliable metronome app made specifically for runners. So we built one. Set your target cadence in steps per minute, hit play, and let the audio guide your stride. The beats layer seamlessly over your music — Spotify, Apple Music, podcasts — without interrupting them. Just a steady rhythm in the background keeping you on pace. Features: Adjustable cadence from 60–240 BPM Multiple beat sounds to choose from Beep every beat, every 2nd, or every 4th beat Continues playing in the background while your screen is locked Lock screen controls — just like your music app Save your favorite settings as presets Cadence Calculator to find your ideal starting BPM Volume control that layers naturally under your music Pricing: Free 5-day trial, then a one-time purchase of $1.99. No subscription, no recurring charges, ever. The price may go up in the future to support updates, but anyone who buys now keeps lifetime access as a thank you for being an early supporter. Price shouldn’t keep anyone from running. If $1.99 is out of reach, tap “Write to us” in the app and we’ll send you a free code. This app is a work in progress in the best way. As the developer keeps running, the app keeps improving. More features and refinements are on the way.
