Play your OWN music & podcasts while running. This was built by a new runner who wanted to boost his cadence without ditching his playlist. NO subscriptions, NO ads.
BeatLayer plays a metronome beat ON TOP of your music — not instead of it.
Most metronome apps hijack your audio. You're forced to choose: rhythm or music. BeatLayer mixes a crisp beat with whatever you're already listening to. Spotify, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts — everything keeps playing.
Set your target BPM, hit play, and start running. Your music stays. Your cadence improves.
— FREE FEATURES —
• Adjustable BPM (100–220), remembered between sessions
• 6 beat sounds: woodblock, drum, electronic, tick, snap, bass
• Independent volume — mix beat and music to taste

— PRO ($1.99 one-time, no subscription) —
