About this tool

Tap Tempo calculates BPM from repeated taps, useful when you are listening to a record, a live drummer, or any source that is not loaded into the browser.

No file is required and no audio is recorded: the tempo comes from the timing of your own taps, averaged over the last eight of them.

How it works

  1. 01

    Start tapping

    Tap the control on every beat while the music plays elsewhere.

  2. 02

    Watch stability

    The plate averages recent intervals and shows how consistent the tapping is.

  3. 03

    Copy BPM

    Copy the tempo reading once the value settles.
