Pacer – Run Cadence

Dial in your cadence and go. Pacer clicks and taps to your target SPM while your music, podcast, or playlist keeps playing right alongside it.

Pacer is a simple metronome built for runners who want to lock in their cadence without giving up their music.

Type in a target steps-per-minute number, drag the slider, or tap a quick preset (160/170/180 spm) and Pacer clicks and taps in time, right alongside whatever you're already listening to. It won't pause your music, podcast, or audiobook to play its click; it mixes in on top, the same way a workout app's voice cues do.

FEATURES • Numeric input, slider, or one-tap presets to set your target cadence • Plays its click alongside Music, Spotify, podcasts, or any other audio app • Optional haptic tap on every beat, so you can feel the rhythm even with headphones cranked up • Keeps running in the background with the screen locked • Estimated ground contact time and vertical oscillation targets for your chosen cadence, as a guideline for working on your form • Clean, distraction-free interface just set it and go

Pacer doesn't track your runs, connect to GPS, or need any sensors. It's a focused tool for one job: keeping your feet turning over at the rate you want, for as long as you run.
