About Bematist
Bematist is a music player that matches songs in a local music library to a runner’s current cadence. It reads steps per minute from the phone’s motion sensors and selects tracks whose tempo fits the running pace. Half-time and double-time matches are accepted, so a track at twice the cadence can still be chosen. Because the app analyzes music files on the device, matching works offline after the library has been scanned; the product description says it uses no account, network connection, or server. While running, users can triage tracks by skipping, keeping, or liking them. These choices can be made with an on-screen gesture or an earbud button, and the app sorts the results into playlists afterward. Each run is recorded with cadence and track-matching details, which can be reviewed later in session history. This gives runners a way to see how music selection related to pace across completed sessions. Bematist plays files already stored on the phone rather than streaming music. It is open source and designed for offline use. The available information does not specify supported audio formats, the tempo-analysis method, or how motion-sensor readings are calibrated. Its main workflow is to scan a local library, match music to real-time step cadence, let the user sort tracks during a run, and retain a session record for later review. Matching is based on the tempo of audio files in the user’s own library, analyzed on-device. The cadence comes from the phone’s motion sensors, and half- or double-tempo matching broadens the range of tracks that can fit a running pace. During a session, track triage is designed to work with either gestures on the screen or buttons on earbuds, reducing the need to handle the phone while running. The saved session history includes both cadence and matching details, so users can look back at the relationship between pace and selected music. The product states that no account or network connection is needed after scanning the library.
