Our app

A run-walk timer that counts so you don't have to.

Cadence is a run/walk interval timer made for runners. Set your run and walk times, the number of intervals, and an optional warm-up and cool-down — then run. Cadence counts you through every interval and stops on its own, so you never have to watch the clock or tap your screen mid-run.

Free. No ads, no account.

The Discover screen, listing training plans such as Build to a Long Run and Walk Strong alongside ready-made workouts.

The setup screen with an optional warm-up, run and walk times, and a count of intervals.
Or set your own — warm-up, run, walk, however many intervals.
A run in progress showing Interval 1 of 8, the current Run phase, and a countdown ring at 54 seconds.
Then run. It counts, it cues, and it stops on its own.

What run/walk training is

Alternating short stretches of running and walking instead of running the whole way. It's how most people start running, and how many keep going farther.

If you train with timed walk breaks, Cadence keeps the timing for you.

Every switch, three ways at once

Every phase change is impossible to miss, so the app can stay in your pocket.

Turn the voice and tones on or off independently to suit your run.
