By Yoshifumi Sato · Health and fitnessWhy we expect it: The focused idea, live cadence detection, and clear privacy-first, one-time-purchase pitch make this a strong debut.
In short
StrideBeat: Running Cadence is a running metronome that plays a steady click and haptic pulse to help steps fall into a target rhythm, around 180 steps per minute by default. It uses the iPhone motion sensor to read actual steps per minute and shows live whether you are on target, with no GPS, account, or ads. What stands out is that it plays over your music and can nudge your target up by 2 steps per minute each week.
Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
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 in your pocket or on your wrist — no earbuds needed. - 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.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No GPS, no account, no ads. - Everything stays on your iPhone.
