I Built a Free Tap Tempo BPM Tool — Here's Why and How

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

As a music producer, I constantly run into the same problem — I hear a track and need to know its tempo quickly. Existing tools are often cluttered, slow to load, or require sign‑ups.

Solution: Find My BPM

I built Find My BPM, a simple tap‑tempo tool. You tap a button (or any key on your keyboard) to the beat, and the app calculates the BPM.

• No signup required
• No ads or bloat
• Loads in under a second
