Tap across a musical phrase
Tap in time with a song, loop, beat, or sample. Four taps begin the reading; continuing across a phrase gives the average enough timing information to become useful.

Read stability before committing
Live BPM follows your most recent interval. Average BPM smooths small differences between taps, while the stability score shows whether your timing has settled.
Handle half-time and double-time
A groove can be felt at two related tempos. Use divide by 2 when the reading feels twice as fast as the pulse, or ×2 when it feels half as fast.
Carry the tempo into production
Copy the stable average into a DAW, metronome, sample label, music brief, or a Music2Video project. The tool works in the browser without an upload or account.
BPM tapper questions
BPM tapper questions
What is a BPM tapper?
It estimates beats per minute from the timing of your taps.
How many taps do I need?
Four taps start a reading; steady additional taps improve the average.
What is the difference between live and average BPM?
Live BPM uses the latest interval. Average BPM smooths all recent intervals and is usually the better value to keep.
Why would I divide or double the BPM?
Songs can feel in half-time or double-time. These controls let you quickly match the tempo value to the pulse you want to use.
