Rythm App

Have you ever been walking or running while listening to music and found yourself altering your cadence in an attempt to match your steps to the rhythm of the song?

While training for Grandma's Marathon in Duluth I found myself constantly doing this. The problem is, it altered the pace/stride I was supposed to have during my training. I found myself wishing that Apple Music offered a feature to match the BPM of my music to my running or walking. So I decided explore what this feature would look like if I turned it into a standalone app.

The app looks and functions similar to a regular music playing app, allowing you to connect your library, create playlists or upload them, and follow your favorite artists. However, it takes its own personal shape with the BPM dial/viewer under the now playing section. This screen displays the current BPM based on your cadence and also allows you to override it to set the BPM or change it to follow your heart rate.
