Strideloft: Running Cadence

Live steps-per-minute detection, cadence zone tracking, and an offline Pace & Stride Lab — no GPS, no account, no subscription.

Pace & Stride Lab

Enter your target pace and height to get your expected cadence range and stride length per step. Built from published recreational-runner pace-to-cadence data. Works completely offline — no GPS, no network.

Cadence Zone Detection

The phone's motion sensor detects foot strikes and shows your live steps per minute coloured by zone: slow, building, in-target, and fast. Your target zone is adjustable in Settings. Runs save locally as a full cadence trace.

History & Personal Bests

  • Reverse-chronological run list with cadence-over-time chart
  • Personal bests card: best average SPM, best time-in-target, longest run
  • Export all runs as CSV via the iOS share sheet

Pro Cadence Coach

  • Cadence by Pace Zone offline reference table (Easy through 5K Pace)
  • Step-Up Planner: compute safe cadence increase targets with research-backed guidance
  • Session checklist with five evidence-based cues
  • Research citations from PMC and E3Rehab

What changed in 1.2

Version 1.2 adds the Pace & Stride Lab, a Cadence by Pace Zone table, Personal Bests in History, CSV export, and a fix ensuring saved runs record the target zone that was active during the session.

No account. No GPS. No tracking.

Strideloft uses only the device motion sensor. No location data, no health data, no server, no analytics SDK, no subscription. Run data saves to a local file on the device. Nothing leaves the phone unless you choose to export it.
