Cadence Keeper: Run Metronome

Cadence Keeper is a free, dead-simple cadence metronome for runners, cyclists, and anyone training to a tempo. Dial in a target BPM (40–240), hit play, pocket the phone. The click sits on top of your music at full volume and keeps ticking with the screen locked, so you can hold your stride or pedal cadence without thinking about it. Drive it from anywhere. Every surface stays in sync, so you never wonder which one is right. • Apple Watch app: big BPM readout, Digital Crown to dial the tempo, ±1 buttons, play/pause. Let the phone play the click, or leave the phone at home and play it on the watch, up to an hour at a time. • Smart Stack widget on Apple Watch: current BPM and play/pause at a glance. • Home Screen widget: small shows current BPM at a glance; medium adds tap-to-control ± and play/pause right from the home screen. • Lock Screen Live Activity: bump the BPM or pause without unlocking. • Dynamic Island: same controls, one tap away. • Control Center toggle: start and stop without ever opening the app. The icon flips to a pause state while playing so you can see what's going on. Great for: • Runners working on stride rate (~170–185 spm is the usual target) • Cyclists holding a steady pedal cadence on climbs or flats • Rowing, jump rope, lifting tempo work, or anything tempo-driven • Coaches who want a no-fuss beat for drills • Anyone tired of metronome apps cluttered with subscriptions and modes What you get: • Sample-accurate tick that stays locked over long sessions, with no drift • Plays over your music at full volume, with the screen locked • Slider + ± buttons for quick BPM changes • Twelve tick sounds (Click, Beep, Clap, Clave, Drum, Tock and more), swapped mid-run without losing the beat • Works fully offline: no account, no feed, no subscription Free to download.
