An Android + Wear OS running companion that adapts your music to your stride in real time. No more clashing tempos. No more skipping tracks mid-stride.

that match. Your music doesn't just play during your run — it
runs with you.

Three slides. One promise:
turn every step into progress,
music that moves with you,
and
feel better, run farther.
Each is swipeable; the sign-up CTA stays pinned to the bottom so the user can sign up from any slide without finishing the carousel.

/ 14 — FAQ
Questions,answered.
Is Pacebeats free?
Yes. Pacebeats is completely free to download. You can get the latest Android APK directly from our GitHub releases — there is no subscription and no in-app purchases.
Does Pacebeats work with Spotify?
Yes. Pacebeats integrates with Spotify so your existing playlists adapt to your running cadence in real time. You connect your account once during setup.
What devices does Pacebeats support?
Pacebeats runs on Android 8.0 and newer, with a companion app for Wear OS 3.0+ smartwatches, including the Samsung Galaxy Watch.
How does Pacebeats sync music to my pace?
After one short calibration run, Pacebeats detects your stride cadence and continuously matches the music tempo to your pace, so the beat keeps you on target without you skipping tracks mid-stride.
Do I need a smartwatch to use Pacebeats?
No. The phone app works on its own. The Wear OS companion is optional and adds live cadence, heart-rate, and run summaries on your wrist.
Is Pacebeats on the Google Play Store?
While in beta, Pacebeats is distributed as a direct APK download from GitHub rather than the Play Store. A SHA-256 checksum is provided so you can verify the download, and installing the Wear OS build on a Galaxy Watch is covered in our installation guide.
