How it works
Find the tempo of any track by tapping along. Tap a button (or press a key) in time with the beat and the counter shows the tempo in beats per minute, averaged over your most recent taps so it settles quickly and stays stable. The more you tap, the more the estimate smooths out; a reset clears the history when you want to start a new measurement.
It is the quickest way to get the BPM of a song that is not labeled - for setting a delay, programming a drum pattern, or matching two tracks. The timing is measured in your browser from your taps, so there is nothing to install and nothing is uploaded.
Example. Play a track and tap the beat eight times. The readout averages the intervals and lands on 128 BPM - tap a few more times to confirm it holds steady, then use that tempo in your project.
FAQ
How does tapping find the tempo?
The tool measures the time between your taps and converts the average interval to beats per minute (60000 divided by the average gap in milliseconds). Averaging several taps cancels out the small errors in any single one.
How many times should I tap?
Four taps gives a rough figure; eight or more settles it. Because it averages a rolling window of recent taps, the reading gets steadier the longer you keep time.
Why does it round to common values?
Tapping is never perfectly even, so an estimate like 119.6 almost certainly means 120. The counter shows a clean, likely tempo while still letting you see you are in the right range.
Is anything recorded?
No. Only the timing of your taps is measured, all in your browser. No audio is captured and nothing is sent to a server.
