BeatLayer vs Cadence Sync

BeatLayer plays a metronome beat ON TOP of your music — not instead of it. Most metronome apps hijack your audio. You're forced to choose: rhythm or music. BeatLayer mixes a crisp beat with whatever you're already listening to. Spotify, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts — everything keeps playing. Set your target BPM, hit play, and start running. Your music stays. Your cadence improves. — FREE FEATURES — • Adjustable BPM (100–220), remembered between sessions • 6 beat sounds: woodblock, drum, electronic, tick, snap, bass • Independent volume — mix beat and music to taste • Background playback — works with any audio app • Lock-screen ready — keep running, beat keeps going — PRO ($1.99 one-time, no subscription) — • Smart Progressive Mode — gradually raise BPM during your run, adapting to your real-time cadence • 100% Ad-Free Focus — zero interruptions from start to finish
