Kadence: Running Metronome

Running simplified. Kadence is the ultimate offline, privacy-first metronome designed specifically for runners and walkers. Whether you are trying to increase your cadence to prevent injury, adapting to a faster turnover, or following a strict run/walk interval plan, Kadence provides the precision and reliability you need to hit your goals.

KEY FEATURES

RUN / WALK INTERVAL BUILDER Stop juggling multiple apps! Build complex, multi-loop interval workouts (perfect for the Galloway/Jeffing method) directly within Kadence. The massive active workout HUD keeps you updated on your current pace phase and remaining time, while seamlessly adjusting the background metronome frequency when it's time to run or walk.

100% OFFLINE & PRIVATE Kadence respects your data. The app operates entirely offline with zero analytics, zero third-party tracking, and absolutely no logins required. Your custom presets, intervals, and preferences never leave your device.

BACKGROUND PLAYBACK & RELIABILITY Engineered with a custom low-latency audio synthesizer and a dedicated foreground service, Kadence continues to tick flawlessly even when your screen is locked. It fully supports concurrent audio, meaning you can listen to Spotify, podcasts, or audiobooks while the metronome ticks seamlessly in the background.

CUSTOM CADENCE PRESETS Save your favorite target paces (e.g., 160, 170, 180 SPM) and switch between them with a single tap. Instantly see your projected Min/Mile and Min/Km pace based on your current cadence and custom stride length.

ATHLETIC "SPORT INSTRUMENT" DESIGN A beautiful, highly legible dark mode interface featuring vibrant neon accents. Designed to be easily readable at a glance, even under harsh sunlight or while mid-stride.

LOCK SCREEN CONTROLS Pause, play, and adjust your metronome directly from your lock screen or notification shade without ever needing to unlock your phone.
