Using the service
By visiting or using bpmcounter.app, you agree to use the site lawfully and responsibly. The site is intended for personal, educational, creative, and ordinary music-production use. You may use the public pages and browser tools without creating an account, paying a fee, or obtaining permission from the operator beyond accepting these terms.
Tool results are estimates
The tap counter calculates tempo from the timing of your taps. The automatic detector estimates a pulse from audio processed in your browser. Neither tool promises a particular accuracy, latency, or musical interpretation. A recording may reasonably produce different half-time, double-time, or section-specific readings. Check important results with your ears and an appropriate reference before using them in a performance, release, rehearsal, broadcast, or other consequential activity.
Audio and microphone permissions
You choose whether to select a file or grant microphone permission. Audio analysis is designed to run locally in your browser; the site does not intentionally upload or retain your selected audio or microphone samples. Your browser, operating system, extensions, network provider, and device may have their own logging or privacy behavior. You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed to analyze any audio you select.
Acceptable use
Do not use the site to violate law or another person’s rights, to distribute malware, to probe or overload the service, to bypass access controls, to interfere with another user’s experience, or to present the site or its results as an official measurement service without permission. Do not upload material that you do not have the right to process. The operator may limit access when necessary to protect the service, users, or infrastructure.
Content and intellectual property
The bpmcounter.app name, site design, source content, guides, and original graphics belong to their respective rights holders. These terms do not transfer ownership to you. You may link to public pages and use the tools for their intended purpose, but you may not copy, resell, mirror, scrape, or repackage substantial parts of the site without permission or a separate legal right.
