Free Online BPM Tap Counter

Tap the big button (or your keyboard) in time with the music and get a live beats-per-minute reading. The more taps you add, the steadier the average becomes.

Perfect for DJs beat-matching tracks, musicians setting a metronome, dancers counting tempo, and producers cataloguing sample BPMs.

Live tempo averaging

Each tap refines the reading. The tool averages your recent taps so a single early or late hit doesn't throw off the tempo.

Tap history and reset

See your tap count and current average at a glance. Hit reset to start a fresh measurement for the next track.

Keyboard friendly

Tap with the spacebar or click the button — whatever keeps you in rhythm. Works on desktop and mobile browsers.

How to use

  1. Play the song you want to measure.
  2. Tap the button (or spacebar) on every beat — at least 8 to 10 taps.
  3. Read the live BPM average.
  4. Reset and tap again for the next track.
