Tuneshed tuning a guitar: the note A2 eight cents flat, a needle meter left of centre, and a button for each string with A lit — The needle, string by string

Tuneshed tuning a ukulele in strobe mode: A4 in tune, green strobe bands standing still, and the string numbers above each string — The strobe, for the last cent

Tuneshed's metronome at 100 BPM, Andante, in 4/4, with a dot for each beat and the second beat lit — The metronome

Two tools, nothing in the way

Needle or strobe

A needle that shows how far off you are at a glance, or a strobe whose bands drift while you're off and stand still when you're in tune, fine enough for the last cent.

Every string, any tuning

Guitar, 7-string, bass and 5-string, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, violin, viola, cello and double bass, with drop, open and lowered tunings, or make your own. Chromatic mode takes any note.

Lock a string, hear it

It finds the string you're playing on its own. Tap a string to tune only that one, and tap it again to hear its note.

Capo and reference pitch

Put a capo on any fret and every string tunes to where it sounds. Set A anywhere from 415 to 466 Hz to match a piano, a recording or an orchestra.

A metronome that keeps going

20 to 300 BPM in any meter, with eighths, triplets or sixteenths, accented or muted beats, tap tempo and five sounds. It keeps playing with the screen locked.

Private by design

Sound is analyzed on your device, as it's heard, and never recorded. No account, no ads, no tracking, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Requirements

iPhone or iPad with iOS 17 or later. The tuner needs the microphone; the metronome doesn't.
