Run in rhythm with YOUR own music. BPM Runner automatically analyzes your Apple Music library and sorts every track by BPM (beats per minute). No pre-made playlists, no streaming catalog : just the music you already love, filtered by your running cadence. HOW IT WORKS 1. BPM Runner analyzes the real tempo of each track in your library, right on your iPhone. 2. Pick your zone : Walk, Jog, Run, Sprint. 3. Hit play and only the songs at the right cadence go into your queue. FOUR PACE ZONES Walk (60 to 99 BPM) : warm-up Jog (100 to 129 BPM) : endurance Run (130 to 159 BPM) : fast tempo Sprint (160 to 200 BPM) : maximum effort Matching your music's tempo to your running cadence helps you hold a steady pace, lowers perceived effort, and makes longer runs feel easier. WHAT MAKES BPM RUNNER DIFFERENT Your music, not an imposed catalog Reads your Apple Music library directly. No extra subscription, no limited catalog. Real audio analysis BPM is detected from the actual audio, not guessed by tapping. Two modes available : Standard for speed, Precise for accuracy. 100% on device Everything is computed on your iPhone. Nothing sent online, no cloud, no account required. Instant zone filters One tap on a zone rebuilds your queue on the fly. Background analysis with alerts Analyze your whole library in the background and get a notification when it's done. Full library browser Browse and search your entire library, filter by zone, or show only tracks that still need a BPM. Confidence flags Uncertain results are flagged so you can re-analyze them in Precise mode. Dedicated player Live BPM display, dynamic queue, full-screen controls, artwork-adaptive background. WHO IT'S FOR Runners chasing a steady cadence (5K, 10K, half, marathon) Walkers looking for a consistent rhythm Interval fans who switch intensity by zone Anyone who finally wants to put their music library to work
