The Visual Tuner

Make tuning fun. The Visual Tuner turns your pitch into something you can watch. Play a note and a garden blooms, a bonsai blossoms, or a little clock ticks to life the moment you land on pitch. Underneath the fun is a tuner as accurate and as quick as your phone allows. SCENES WORTH TUNING TO • Ten scenes are included free: Overlap, Needle Gauge, Strobe, LED Ladder, Pitch History, Fine Meter, Orbit, Perfect Circle, Reticle, and Light Bulb. • Twelve more scenes are optional in-app purchases. Each is a one-time purchase that's yours to keep, with no subscription: Bonsai Seasons, Farm Seasons, Event Horizon, Attitude Indicator, Archery, Garden, Clockwork, Constellation, Pipe Dream, Note Highway, Emoji, and Aurora. • Some screenshots show premium scenes. Every tuner feature, including Pitch Lab, the Tuning Table and every temperament, is free. • Try any premium scene with a demo before you buy. • Garden, Constellation and Archery give every note its own flower, star or arrow, so you can check a whole instrument at a glance. • Pin a Needle Gauge, LED Ladder, Pitch History or Fine Meter over any scene, at the top left, top right or bottom. ACCURACY FIRST • Readings to a tenth of a cent. In our tests in a quiet room, 95% of held notes ended within 0.15 cents of their true pitch. • The right note is on screen in a median 16 milliseconds, and keeps sharpening as long as the note rings. • Decide how close counts as in tune, from half a cent to 25 cents, and every scene follows your call. • See the full accuracy data sheet at www.visualtuner.app/accuracy. TWO WAYS TO LISTEN • Continuous, for notes you hold: bowed strings, woodwinds, brass and voice. • Percussive, for notes that fade: piano, guitar, harp and mallets. It reads the note while it's strongest and holds the reading as the sound dies away. YOUR TUNING, YOUR WAY • Sixteen temperaments, and your own: equal; meantone (third, quarter, fifth and sixth comma, plus LucyTuning); Pythagorean; 1/6 Pythagorean comma; just intonation; and the great well temperaments: Vallotti, Bach (Lehman), Werckmeister III, Kirnberger II and III, Kellner, and Young No. 2. Build any of them on any key, or set each note's offset yourself. • Any reference pitch from 200 to 600 Hz in 0.1 Hz steps, with one-tap presets for 415, 430, 432, 435, 440, 442, 443 and 466 Hz. A full table lists the target frequency of every note. • Note names your way: chromatic, or spelled in any major key, so a pedal harp in C flat reads C flat, never B. • Show any mix of note name, cents, frequency and target frequency. PITCH LAB AND TUNING TABLE • Pitch Lab shows your reading to a hundredth of a cent, the measured and target frequencies to a thousandth of a hertz, a pitch history, and live engine stats. • The Tuning Table adds every note you play, low to high, with its latest reading. Tune in octaves, fifths or any order you like. ANY MIC, ANY SCREEN • Use the built-in microphone, a USB or headset mic, or any channel of a multi-channel audio interface. A live level meter shows which input is hearing you. • Keep Screen On stops the screen from dimming while you tune. • Battery Saver swaps the scenes for a simple LED tuner without changing accuracy. It can follow Low Power Mode automatically. • Built for iPhone, iPad and Mac, in light and dark. On iPhone Duo, open the fold to put the scene on one half and Pitch Lab or the Tuning Table on the other. FOR MUSIC TEACHERS Hand a student a needle and they'll stop at close enough. Hand them a garden and they'll keep going until every flower is in bloom. Put an iPad on the music stand and the whole room can see. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, and no tracking. Visual Tuner uses the microphone only to measure the pitch of what you play, right on your device. It never records, saves or sends what it hears.
