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 β€” even when your screen is off. KEY FEATURES β€’ Adjustable SPM from 100 to 220 β€’ Popular cadence presets: 150 Β· 160 Β· 170 Β· 180 β€’ Accent options: emphasize every 2, 3, or 4 beats β€’ Three sounds: High tone, Low tone, Click β€’ Volume control slider β€’ Plays simultaneously with your music β€’ Background playback supported β€’ No ads Β· No account required Β· Works fully offline WHO IT'S FOR β€’ Runners aiming to raise their cadence intentionally β€’ Anyone wanting consistent pacing on long runs β€’ Runners refining form with a steady, audible beat β€’ 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 β€” 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.
