StrideBeat: Running Cadence

StrideBeat is a dead-simple running metronome that locks your steps to a target cadence — around 180 steps per minute, the sweet spot for efficient, lower-impact running.

Pick your target cadence, hit start, and run to the beat. StrideBeat keeps a steady click and a haptic pulse so your feet naturally fall into rhythm.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
- Real cadence detection: your iPhone's motion sensor reads your actual steps per minute and shows how far you are from your target, live.
- In-sync coaching: green when you're locked in, amber when you need to speed up or slow down.
- Plays over your music: a gentle click sits on top of your playlist, with adjustable ducking.
- Haptics: feel every beat on your iPhone while the screen is on — turn on Keep screen on while running. The click keeps going when the screen locks.
- Presets: jump to 160-190 spm in one tap, with 180 marked as the running sweet spot.
- Progressive step-up: nudge your target up by 2 spm each week.
