Field notes
The page distinguishes runner cadence (PPM, steps per minute) from track tempo (BPM) and presents adaptive, fixed-tempo, and planned-workout modes. In adaptive mode, it says the app waits 15 seconds for a changed rhythm to settle before switching tracks; planned sessions are shown in phases from warm-up to cool-down, each with a target BPM. Listed sources include phone files, a demo mix, and streaming services, with Apple Music subscription and YouTube Premium caveats noted.
