No upload, no file needed. Everything happens in your browser — tap along and the BPM updates live.

Click the button or hit the spacebar in time with a song, a metronome, or your own count-off, and this page reads the tempo off your taps — averaged over your last few, so one slightly-off tap doesn't throw the whole reading. No file, no account, nothing uploaded.
Each tap records a timestamp. Once there are at least two, the page averages the time between your last several taps and converts that to beats per minute — steady tapping settles quickly on a number, and a stray early or late tap only nudges the average slightly instead of throwing it off completely.
Stop tapping for about two seconds and the next tap starts a fresh count instead of treating that pause as one enormous, extremely slow beat. Useful for finding the tempo of a song section by section, or just for correcting a bad start without hitting Reset.
Tapping is for when you're listening to something you can't upload — a song playing in another room, a live band, your own count-off. If you do have the file on your device, the BPM finder reads the tempo straight off it in about two seconds, no tapping, plus the musical key from the same pass — or let us read it off the file instead of tapping it out by hand.
Whether you're beatmatching a DJ set, syncing a video cut to a song, or just want to tell a bandmate the tempo without emailing a file around, the BPM is the number everything else depends on. Once you know it, the key finder covers which tracks are harmonically compatible, and the vocal remover and instrumental maker handle splitting a track once it's uploaded. Recording a clip to that beat and want to turn it into a small, shareable loop? VideoBGNinja's GIF compressor shrinks it, also entirely in the browser, nothing uploaded there either.
No. Tap tempo works entirely by clicking a button or pressing the spacebar in rhythm — nothing is uploaded, and there's no file involved at all.
As accurate as your own tapping. The reading is the average interval over your last several taps, which smooths out small slips, but it can only be as steady as the rhythm you actually tap.
A pause of more than about two seconds starts a fresh count instead of averaging in that long gap as if it were a beat.
Yes — the spacebar works anywhere on the page as long as you're not typing in a text field.
Yes — the BPM finder reads the tempo straight off an uploaded file in about two seconds, no tapping required.
Yes — no account, no e-mail, no upload, no limit on how long you use it.
Yes — tap to tempo for as long as you like; the reading updates continuously and settles once you've tapped a handful of beats.
Yes, for practical use — a tap tempo bpm reading is only as steady as your own tapping, but it's precise enough to set a metronome or match a track by ear.
