## What is Harpie?

The harp tuner built for harpists - not guitarists.

Harpie tunes lever harps and pedal harps with concert-grade precision. Pluck a string and Harpie instantly shows you how many cents sharp or flat you are, with a clean gauge and a simple flat / in-tune / sharp light.

WHY HARPISTS CHOOSE HARPIE
* Real harp string layouts - pick your lever harp size (19–40 strings) or a full 47-string pedal harp. No more counting frets that don't exist.
* Tuned for flats - lever harps in E flat major, pedal harps all-flat. Harpie speaks your language out of the box.
* Auto mode - listens through your mic and follows you string to string. Hands-free.
* Reference mode - tap any string to hear a warm, realistic harp tone and tune by ear.
Calibrate your A4 from 430 to 450 Hz for period and ensemble work.
Show or hide octave numbers; prefer flats or sharps - your call.

DESIGNED TO BE A JOY
A focused, beautiful interface that gets out of your way. No ads interrupting your tuning session. Tune entirely offline.

SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE
Fully available in English, German, French, Italian, Chinese (Simplified), and Chinese (Traditional).

Whether you play a Celtic lever harp at home or a concert pedal harp on stage, Harpie gets every string right.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-07-16

Faster note switching — Harpie now detects the next string instantly, even while the previous string is still ringing. No more pausing between strings.

### 1.1.10 — 2026-05-29

• String labels now use harp-convention register numbering (e.g. 0G, 1E) — the same notation harpists use, not scientific octave numbers.
• Faster playing is detected reliably — notes played in quick succession are no longer missed.
• Auto mode always snaps to the nearest harp string name and never shows sharps, so the displayed note always matches the highlighted string.
• Gauge cleaned up: note names no longer show octave numbers. Circle clipping has also been fixed on iPhone screens.
• Pitch analysis moved to a background thread — no more brief UI stutters while the tuner processes audio.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-05-28

In-tune indicator redesign
The separate pitch indicator row is gone. Pitch feedback is now built directly into the note display, tuning bulbs appear on either side of the detected note, and the note lights up inside a soft sage-green circle when you're in tune — everything you need is in one place.

Visual polish
Fixed a clipping issue on iOS where the note letter could overflow the circle edge. The in-tune circle is now a medium sage green with better text contrast, and the gauge card stays its normal color, so the in-tune state is clear without the whole card changing color.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-05-21

App libraries upgrades.

### 1.1 — 2026-05-14

The tuner now glows when you're in tune.                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                     
When your pitch lands within ±15 cents of the target, the gauge section and note name light up in the accent color — a clear, satisfying signal that matches the indicator lights below it.                                                                      
                                                                                                                                     
The tuning reminder is also much easier to dismiss. Tap anywhere on the banner (not just the small button) to clear it, and the text is larger so you can read it at a glance before you start.                                                                    
                                                                                                                                     
A few settings refinements:
The "Always show flats" toggle is now permanently on when a harp is selected — harps are always notated in flats, so there's nothing to configure.
The instrument card on the main screen has been simplified too, combining harp type and string count into a single display.
