CadenceBeep vs Cadence Beats

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

Cadence Beats was built out of a simple frustration — there wasn't a clean, reliable metronome app made specifically for runners. So we built one. Set your target cadence in steps per minute, hit play, and let the audio guide your stride. The beats layer seamlessly over your music — Spotify, Apple Music, podcasts — without interrupting them. Just a steady rhythm in the background keeping you on pace.
