Key features
Discover what makes this tool powerful — and private.
Four-Tap Instant BPM
Tap four times and you already have a rolling BPM estimate. Keep tapping and the number locks in with every new interval — handy for quickly catching the tempo of a song playing in the room.
Keyboard, Mouse, Or Touch
Hit the big button with your mouse, tap it with your finger, or slam the spacebar — whichever is fastest. The tap detector uses high-resolution timestamps for sub-millisecond accuracy.
Rolling Average + Last-Interval Readout
See the average BPM across your tap window plus the instant BPM from your most recent tap pair. Long-press gaps auto-reset the counter so you can start fresh on the next chorus.
Zero-Latency, Zero-Setup
No file uploads, no mic permissions, no cloud processing. Open the page, start tapping. It's the fastest way to estimate BPM when you can't paste a file into a key/BPM finder.
