Cadence: Run Walk Timer

Little Top Creations

About this app

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.

Run/walk training means 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:

- New and beginner runners use it to build from walking up to running, couch to 5K style
- Returning runners use it to ease back in without burning out
- Distance runners use timed walk breaks to cover more miles — 5K, 10K, half and full marathon — with less fatigue

If you train with timed walk breaks — the Galloway method of run/walk running — Cadence keeps the timing for you.

Every phase change is impossible to miss. Cadence cues you three ways at once:

- A spoken voice that calls out "Run" and "Walk" using your phone's built-in text to speech
- Distinct tones for each direction, so you know which way you're switching without looking
- Vibration on every transition and at the finish

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

Cadence also lets you:

- Build multi-block workouts — chain different run/walk intervals in one session, like a speed ladder or a progression run
- Browse a built-in library of ready-made workouts: beginner run/walk weeks, easy and steady 5K runs, and speed interval sessions
- Run a single block as a plain run-only or walk-only timer for steady runs or walk training
- Save your favorite workouts as named presets and reload them in one tap
- Add an interval mid-run or finish early whenever you want
- Save a summary image of any finished workout to share or keep
- Review past sessions in your workout history
- Start each run on your last-used workout, already loaded

No ads. No account. No sign-up. Cadence has no internet permission at all — everything stays on your phone.
