RunningOn vs Run2Beat

RunningOn is a cadence-first running app designed to help you keep a steady rhythm and run with better consistency. Set your target BPM, hear a clear metronome beat with downbeat accent, and run with live pace and distance tracking. Connect Apple Music for your run playlist, and optionally upload activities to Strava.

LET THE MUSIC SET THE PACE The right song at the right tempo changes everything. Run2Beat turns the music you already own into the beat you train to — whether you are running, powerwalking or sweating it out on an exercise bike. Set your target BPM. Run2Beat picks matching tracks and plays them at exactly that tempo, without making the vocals sound odd. From there, the music leads — you keep your stride or pedal stroke with it. Streaming apps pick songs that are “close enough”. Run2Beat times the tracks so the beat is steady — and you lock your steps (or pedal stroke) to it. WHY RUN2BEAT • Free and private: No subscriptions, no ads, no accounts. Works fully offline. BPM is analysed on-device — your files never leave it. • A full player on iPhone and usable without your phone when you prefer: The same BPM lists and the same tempo on Apple Watch. The equalizer curves come from the iPhone, and the watch chooses which one plays. You set crossfade and beat matching there. • Smart import: MP3, M4A or WAV. Shazam can fill in missing tags. Tips for free and indie music are on Run2Beat.com. Optional HE-AAC conversion saves storage. • Sound in balance: LUFS volume normalisation, a 10-band equalizer with presets and crossfade that can wait so the next song meets the beat — even on the Watch, which has no equalizer of its own. • Your rules: Warm-up, max pitching, and multipliers (1/1, 2/1, 1/2) — how your feet land on the beat. • Regular playlists too. Share BPM lists via AirDrop, or play in the car with CarPlay. THE BEST PART The music is yours. Not a mix that needs a subscription and a signal, not a favourite that vanishes when a licence ends. You bring the files (ones you own or get via AirDrop). We adjust them to your chosen tempo so the music drives your pace — on iPhone, or on Apple Watch with the phone left at home.
