Run2Beat

Music matched to your stride

Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.

Let the music set your pace! Run2Beat matches music to your cadence. BPM analysis, Shazam tagging, volume normalisation, EQ, Apple Watch, CarPlay & AirDrop. 100% free! LET THE MUSIC SET YOUR PACE - AND FIND YOUR FLOW! Have you ever felt how the exact right song at the exact right moment gives you that extra push? With Run2Beat, you let the beat drive your workout forward. Whether you're running, cycling, or powerwalking, Run2Beat analyzes the BPM (beats per minute) of your own local music files. The app is completely independent of streaming services and is designed exclusively to breathe new life into the private music library you've built up yourself. Using smart audio technology, the tempo of your songs is then dynamically adjusted to sync perfectly with your stride—without noticeably affecting pitch or vocals. The result? An unstoppable flow where every step lands right on the beat. WHY RUN2BEAT? • Your flow, your pace: Build dynamic BPM playlists and decide exactly how the music meets your stride. Choose a target BPM, a pitch tolerance (how much a track may be tempo-shifted) and a multiplier — so your feet land on every beat, every other beat, or two steps per beat. • Your music, your rules: The app plays music files you actually own (MP3, M4A, WAV). Easily import from iCloud, locally from your phone, or via an external drive. The app automatically recognizes if a file is already in your library, so you avoid duplicates and save space. Missing track names or cover art? The app identifies your music automatically via Shazam and fills in the right information. • Smart on-device BPM analysis: When you import your music, the app automatically calculates the tempo (BPM) of every track. Analysis runs locally on your phone — no cloud lookups — and tracks with an uncertain tempo are clearly flagged, so you're always in control of the beat before your next session. • Volume normalisation: Stop reaching for the volume control! Run2Beat measures the loudness (LUFS) of your music and ensures old recordings and modern mixes play at the exact same level — without clipping. • Smart conversion saves space: Want to maximise your library? On import, files can be automatically converted to HE-AAC. You keep brilliant audio quality, but the files take up half the space on your iPhone. • Leave the phone at home: Sync your BPM lists and standard playlists directly to your Apple Watch and run with just AirPods — full standalone playback, no iPhone required. • Play in the car: Run2Beat shows up in Apple CarPlay with driving-safe tabs for BPM lists, playlists and equalizer — switch EQ preset at the next red light or start a playlist with a single tap. • Tune your sound with EQ: Create custom sound profiles for your favourite headphones with the built-in equalizer and sync them directly to your Apple Watch. • Seamless experience: Built-in crossfade keeps the music flowing without awkward gaps, both on your phone and on your watch. • Standard playlists: Build classic playlists from anything you've imported — and organise them into groups like Favourites, Albums, Running, or your own folders. Perfect when you just want to listen without BPM constraints. • Share your best playlists: Put together the perfect playlist? Send the entire list — music files and all metadata included — directly to your workout buddy, quickly and easily, via AirDrop. THE BEST PART? Run2Beat is 100% free, ad-free, and works fully offline. No subscriptions. Your music files and data never leave your device. You bring your own music — we bring the tool that helps you beat your next personal best!

Version 1.0.1 New: Back up your entire library! You can now save your whole Run2Beat library to a single file - every track, BPM value, playlist, BPM list, favourite and setting in one go. Drop the file on a USB stick, external drive or the cloud via the Files app, and restore everything in a snap when you switch phones or want a fresh start. Find it under Backup in Settings. We also: - Added a nicer loading view while importing from a folder. - Fixed importing into an existing playlist so it no longer duplicates. - Improved list scrolling in CarPlay, so you can reach everything. - Sped up playback start and squashed a couple of crashes. Thanks for using Run2Beat. We hope you enjoy the update!
