About Real Tap Tempo

Real Tap Tempo is a free tool for finding a song's BPM — by tapping along, by letting your microphone listen and work it out automatically, or by practicing at that tempo with a built-in metronome. It's built for DJs, producers, musicians, and dancers who need a fast, accurate tempo reading without installing anything or creating an account.

We built it because most tap-tempo tools online do one thing and stop there: a bare tap button with a number next to it. We wanted something more complete — a tool that also tells you how confident to be in a reading, corrects the common double-time/half-time ambiguity in one click, converts your BPM into delay-pedal-ready millisecond values, and lets you find a tempo without tapping at all if you'd rather just play the track near your mic.

Everything runs in your browser. Tapping, microphone analysis, and the metronome are all processed entirely on your device — nothing is recorded, uploaded, or stored on a server. If you use the "save to history" feature, that data stays in your browser's local storage on your device, not with us. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.

The tool is free to use, supported by ads, with no signup required. If something's broken or you have a suggestion, we'd genuinely like to hear it — reach out via the contact page.
