Soul Pacer: BPM Music Workout
Match Music Tempo to Your Pace
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Find your rhythm across 12 activities. Let music follow your pace or set your target BPM, explore dedicated Salsa practice, and share workouts your way.
Soul Pacer is the music workout app that moves with you. Whether you walk, run, cycle, lift, dance, flow through yoga, sit in meditation, or DJ your own session, your music matches your rhythm in real time. No more skipping tracks that drag you down. No more wrestling with playlists. Just press start, move, and let Soul Pacer do the work.
WHAT MAKES SOUL PACER DIFFERENT
Free Packs are brand new in 2.8. Every activity gets a curated pack of license free music you can download inside the app and play fully offline. No Apple Music. No Spotify. No subscription of any kind. Soul Pacer is now a complete workout music experience for everyone.
Pacer Packs bring curated Apple Music soundtracks built for your activity, plus Made For You packs generated from the songs that already move you. Preview any track before you add it.
Soul Tapes are your activity mixtapes. Build up to 25 tapes (Pro) of 50 songs each from your library, Apple Music, your Favorites, your Power Songs, or a one tap Apple Music playlist import. Every song shows its BPM at a glance, calibrated songs glow gold, and you can preview any song for 10 seconds before deciding. Drag to reorder. Strict tape mode plays only your tape when it matches your pace.
AI Coach with five personalities. Motivational, Drill Sergeant, Chill, Data Driven, or Friendly. The coach announces your pace lock, calls out big swings, and stays out of the way the rest of the time.
10 activity modes. Walking, Running, Cycling, Rowing, HIIT, Strength, DJ Mode, Yoga, Meditation, and Dance. Each mode tunes the BPM band, the song picker, and the share card for that activity.
Apple Watch companion. Phase 1 ships pace from your wrist plus skip, rescue, and pause from the watch face. Audio stays on the iPhone via your AirPods.
Three music sources. Your iPhone Music Library. Apple Music catalog (matches your live cadence across 100M tracks). Spotify Premium (full Spotify Connect playback).
Rescue Me. One tap surfaces your highest energy Power Song from the active tier. The picker honors a 24 hour cross session decay window so the same rescue song does not repeat back to back.
Power Songs profile. Soul Pacer learns which songs lifted your cadence the most across every workout and surfaces them on your profile so you can build your perfect playlist on Apple Music or Spotify.
Workout Complete share card. Branded image card at the end of every session you can post to Instagram, TikTok, X, WhatsApp, or Strava.
72 hour cross session variety. Soul Pacer remembers what you played in the last 3 days so the same song never lands two openings in a row.
iCloud durability. Every piece of intelligence Soul Pacer learns about you (BPM Confidence Engine, Power Songs, rescue history, Soul Tapes, friend list, goals) is mirrored to iCloud Key Value Store so your moat survives uninstall and reinstall.

Soul Pacer 3.2 makes every session smarter and fresher.
MORE VARIETY, EVERY WORKOUT
Your music now rotates through far more of your library. Songs you heard in the last few days step aside so fresh tracks that match your pace get their moment.
SMARTER CALIBRATION
Calibration now saves the steady rhythm you actually held, shows a live estimate within seconds, and finishes in as little as 42 seconds. Songs with unknown or mislabeled artists now play correctly while calibrating.
A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR GOAL
Set a distance goal and the AI Coach counts down to it: halfway there, one mile to go, and goal complete. Choose your Final Push Song in AI Magic and Soul Pacer drops it when you have one mile left.
BETTER SHARING
Add a personal photo to your share card and pinch to position it perfectly. What you preview is exactly what you share.
PLUS
Pause and resume without losing your queue, truer pace matching announcements, new coach lines for Dance mode, and dozens of reliability improvements.
3.2 Jul 4
This update makes Soul Pacer listen to you and get the details right.
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT RESPECT YOU
Songs you skip or mark Less Like This now stay out of your queue across every workout, not just the current one. The tracks that move you rise, the ones you keep passing fade away.
FASTER, ACCURATE CALIBRATION
Calibrate a song in about a minute instead of up to two, and the exact song you are calibrating plays while you move. A song reads Recalibrate only when it is truly calibrated, and you can send a calibrated song back to be recalibrated any time you suspect its tempo.
YOUR FULL SESSION STORY
The last song you heard now shows in your Songs list, even when it played with your phone in your pocket. Nothing gets lost.
FEWER SILENT MOMENTS
Songs that cannot stream are skipped before they ever start, so the music keeps flowing.
BUILD TAPES YOUR WAY
Choose exactly which songs to add with a select list, and Soul Pacer Picks never suggests a song already in your tape, with fresh picks on every refresh.
Keep moving. We never stop tuning.
3.1 Jun 25
Soul Pacer 3.0 is our biggest update yet.
Your favorites now stick. When you save a song it stays saved everywhere it plays, across every workout and every source, until you unsave it.
Smarter, more accurate BPM. Songs whose tempo looks off get flagged for you automatically. Confirm the right BPM with a single tap, or calibrate it yourself. Your whole library is now color coded by how confident we are in each song's BPM, so you always know what is dialed in.
Plus sharper pace matching, quicker session starts, and reliability work so the music never stops.
3.0 Jun 23
More variety, every run.
Soul Pacer now reaches deeper into your library, so you hear more of the songs you forgot you loved. Your favorites still show up, just no longer on repeat, and back to back runs no longer start with the same track.
See how we match your beat.
Every BPM now carries a color. Gold means you calibrated it. Teal means Soul Pacer learned it, and the deeper the teal the more confident we are. Gray means it came straight from the file. One glance tells you which tempos to trust.
Cleaner calibration.
Songs tagged with impossible tempos are caught automatically and sent to Needs Calibration, now sorted so the songs that matter most to your pace come first.
Smoother and steadier.
We fixed a freeze that could follow tapping Wrong BPM, and the Strength screen now stays put so your timer and lock control are always in reach.
Lace up. The music is ready.
2.10 Jun 21
This is our biggest playback update yet.
NEVER MISS A BEAT
Leave Soul Pacer to check a message or open another app and your music keeps playing without a pause. Come back and it picks up right where it was instead of jumping to a new song. Your soundtrack flows from the first step to the last.
MORE OF YOUR MUSIC
Soul Pacer now reaches far more of your library at the right pace, so every session feels fresh. Your favorites still surface, but they no longer crowd out the new songs waiting to move you.
EVERY SONG PLAYS FULLY
Tighter matching means fewer surprise skips. Songs play start to finish unless you choose to move on.
CALIBRATE ANYTHING
Flag a wrong beat in one tap and calibrate songs right from your Library, even while you move.
CLEANER AND SMARTER
A clearer Library with duplicate aware tapes, smoother handling of your downloaded and iCloud songs, and a sharper Pace DNA in your Profile.
Keep moving. We never stop tuning.
2.9 Jun 19
Free Packs are here. Every activity now has a curated pack of license free music you can download inside the app and play fully offline. No subscription needed, ever. Find them below Curated Packs in the Expand Your Soundtrack sheet.

Soul Tapes grew up. Every song row shows its BPM at a glance, calibrated songs glow gold, Apple Music badges are easier to read, rows are perfectly even, and the list ends right where your music does. Pro and lifetime members can now build up to 25 tapes.
Honest summaries for every activity. Dance sessions now show your most energetic track and groove context. Yoga shows breath cycles, your gentlest track, and a flow score. Meditation shows a calm score and your stillest track. And your summary only ever shows songs from the session you just finished.
Song calibration survives a locked screen. Start a calibration, pocket your phone, and the measurement keeps running to completion.
The rewind button works everywhere. Tap previous in any library session and your last song actually comes back.
Smarter first song matching. Local songs you can play instantly are matched first, so sessions start fast and reliable.
The favorites heart now tells the truth. Filled when a song is in your favorites, outline when it is not, and one tap adds it.
Plus a steadier workout screen after switching apps, weekly reminder scheduling that actually fires, and dozens of polish fixes across the Library.
Thank you for every review, every screenshot, and every long run. Keep them coming.
2.8 Jun 10
This update is all about hearing your music and trusting every detail.
PREVIEW BEFORE YOU ADD
Tap any song in a Soul Tape, your favorites, or your power songs to hear a quick preview. Tap the Apple Music or Spotify badge on a power song to sample it, tap again to stop. Find the right track before it ever plays.
IMPORT FROM APPLE MUSIC, MADE CLEAR
Bring any Apple Music playlist into a Soul Tape. The import now names exactly which tape your songs are going into, so there is never any guessing.
CALIBRATION THAT DOES NOT QUIT
Calibrate a song and lock your phone. The music keeps playing and the measurement finishes, so your BPM is always accurate.
WORKOUT REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY REMIND YOU
Set a reminder in your Weekly Schedule and it fires on your scheduled days at the time you choose. Send a test reminder to confirm it instantly. The little nudge that keeps the streak alive.
SMARTER DANCE AND SMOOTHER EVERYTHING
Dance now pulls from a wider, more varied pool of your music. Plus a richer Dance summary, a steadier Move screen, 10 songs in Recently Saved, aligned achievements, and dozens of refinements.
2.7 Jun 9
Leads with PACER PACKS, then MADE FOR YOU ("Nobody else can make these because nobody else knows how music moves your body"), IMPORT FROM APPLE MUSIC, 50 SONGS PER TAPE, RACE GRADE PRECISION (target cadence holds your exact number, skipped songs stay gone, coach confirms when music already matches), and the polish roundup. Review Notes, encryption answer, age rating: unchanged from 2.4/2.5.
2.6 Jun 8
This update makes every session feel brand new and every control behave exactly as you expect.
FRESH MUSIC, EVERY TIME
Soul Pacer now remembers what it played for each activity and rotates in fresh songs across sessions, so your Tuesday run never sounds like your Monday run.
SMARTER STRENGTH
Session Insights for Strength now speak the language of lifting: the songs that powered your session, your steady supporters, and your training goal, style, and set count on the summary and share card.
SEE YOUR BPM LOCK IN
Calibrate any song mid session and watch your live harmonic BPM compute in real time on the stats row, then lock in. Total confidence in every match.
PLAYER POLISH
The progress bar now keeps its place when you hop between tabs. Repeat applies to the song you armed it on. Previous replays the full song. The rest timer now extends 30 seconds with every tap, up to 2 minutes.
YOUR LIBRARY, ALWAYS CURRENT
Recently Saved shows your latest saves the moment you save them, On Repeat refreshes every visit, and your newest favorites now appear first everywhere.
Plus SoundMatch recommendations that respect your BPM range, more artist variety in Discover, and layout stability fixes. Keep moving. We never stop tuning.
