Back from a ride, thirty clips in your camera roll, and none of them ever get posted. Kadenz turns your rides into finished edits: cut to the beat of your music, in 9:16 for Story, Reels, TikTok and Strava. Or just for you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your clips from the ride. 2. Choose a vibe: HYPE, SMOOTH or RETRO. 3. Pick your song. Kadenz cuts right on its beat. 4. A few minutes later your edit's ready. Share it to your Story, Reels and TikTok, add it to your Strava activity, or save it. WHAT'S INSIDE • Cuts on the beat of the song you picked, with transitions and effects to match the vibe • Your route in the video: GPX from Strava, Komoot or Garmin Connect, plus distance, speed and climbing • 9:16 vertical, made for Story, Reels and TikTok • Songs included that you can post without worry • Chasing a trending sound? Use the silent version and add the sound right in TikTok • No account, no sign-up. Delete everything anytime in the settings WHAT IT COSTS Create a free preview with your own clips, so you can see what Kadenz does. To save and share you'll need Kadenz Pro, a subscription. You can try it free first: 3 days on the weekly plan, 7 days on monthly and yearly. The app shows you the price before you pay, and you can cancel anytime. You ride. Kadenz cuts.
