Runifier vs Cadence Cue

Runifier locks your music to your running rhythm. Set a target cadence, tap Start, and every Apple Music track speeds up or slows down so its beat lands on each step. A high-precision metronome clicks in sync, and a voice coach calls your pace out loud as you go. KEY FEATURES • Cadence-synced Apple Music — pick a target BPM (120–200) and Runifier time-stretches each track to match your stride. • Per-song BPM memory — enter a song's BPM once and it's saved per track, applied automatically the next time it plays. • Sample-accurate metronome — generated live by AVAudioEngine; never drifts, toggle the click on or off mid-run. • Pace from Garmin or GPS — listens for Garmin Connect broadcasts during your run and falls back to iPhone GPS + pedometer cadence within five seconds if no watch signal is present. • Voice pace coach — speaks current and average pace every 500 m, 1 km, 2 km, or 5 km, with automatic audio ducking so the music and metronome step out of the way during each callout. • Live dashboard — large current pace and target BPM displays, connection status badge (Garmin / iPhone GPS), distance, average pace, and steps per minute. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a target cadence on the dashboard. 175 BPM is a sensible starting point. 2. Queue a playlist or song from your Apple Music library. 3. Tap Start Workout. Music plays at the adjusted tempo, the metronome clicks at your target, and pace tracking begins. 4. The voice coach announces pace at the interval you've set. 5. Drag the BPM slider any time — the music and metronome retune instantly. WHO IT'S FOR Cadence-aware runners. Form-focused trainers. Marathoners who train by rhythm. Garmin watch users who want their phone library to keep pace with their wrist. Anyone tired of building "exactly 175 BPM" playlists by hand. APPLE MUSIC An Apple Music subscription is required for playback. Tempo adjustment works most reliably on tracks downloaded to your library; streaming-only catalog tracks may not honour playback rate changes. You can enter a Song BPM manually for any track and Runifier remembers it. PRIVACY Runifier doesn't send your location, pace, music library, or BPM entries off your device. All BPM data is stored locally. No analytics, no ads, no third-party trackers.

A metronome tells you the beat. Cadence Cue tells you whether you're actually hitting it. Most cadence apps play a click and hope you keep up. Cadence Cue measures your real step rate while you run, compares it to your target, and shows you instantly: green when you're on cadence, red when you're off. When you drift, your Apple Watch gives you a quick haptic tap, so you can correct without looking down, without beeps over your music, and without breaking stride. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your target cadence in steps per minute (SPM). 2. Start your run on Apple Watch or iPhone. 3. Glance at your wrist: green means you're on target, red means you're off. 4. Feel a tap the moment you drift, then settle back into rhythm. WHY CADENCE MATTERS Cadence is the number of steps you take per minute. Many runners overstride at a low cadence: long, reaching steps that land out in front of the body. Coaches often recommend a slightly quicker, lighter step to improve running form and efficiency. The hard part isn't knowing your target. It's holding it once you're tired, distracted, or halfway through a playlist. That's what Cadence Cue is for.
