Tap BPM

Tap BPM is a free online tool for finding the tempo of a song. If you need to know a track's beats per minute for practice, production, or DJing, this gives you a quick way to measure it. You just tap along.

It works with any audio source. Play a song on your computer, phone, or speakers and use the on-screen pad or your spacebar to tap out the beat. The tool calculates the BPM by averaging the time between your taps. It doesn't need a microphone or access to your audio files, since it only measures your input.

The counter is built around a few focused features.

• Steady measurement: It averages your latest 12 tap intervals, which helps the reading settle even if your timing isn't perfect.
• Half and double time: If a reading feels wrong, you can click the ½× or 2× buttons to see if you were tapping at half or double the actual tempo. This adjusts the number without you needing to tap again.
• Keyboard or screen input: Use your spacebar for tactile tapping or click the pad on any device.
• Simple interface: A reset button lets you start a new measurement, and a copy button puts the BPM on your clipboard.

The half and double time options are useful for finding the right feel. Sometimes it's more natural to tap every other beat, or even twice per beat. Instead of making you guess and re-tap, the tool lets you check these common variations instantly.

Tap BPM is intentionally simple. It's silent so you can focus on your music and is designed to do one thing well: measure the pulse you provide. The result is a solid starting point for setting your metronome or project tempo.
