## What is Overtone?

Sound better every session.

Overtone brings a tuner, metronome and drone together in one app for 22 instruments, plus sight-reading, theory and tools for teachers. It's powerful enough for professionals and simple enough for your first lesson. Pick your instrument once and everything is set up for you.

TUNER
• Fast, steady chromatic tuner that shows exactly how sharp or flat you are
• Strings mode for guitar, violin, cello, ukulele and more
• Equal, just, Pythagorean or your own custom temperament, with any A4 reference

• Save presets, control it from your Apple Watch, and see the beat on your Lock Screen

DRONE AND SOUND

• Works for band directors and private teachers alike. A student can follow both at once.
• A student dashboard shows what's due and how far along you are.
• Practice reports: a PDF of your practice with a seal and a QR code that lets your teacher check it's genuine.
• A gradebook for teachers to collect results.
• Onboarding asks if you use Overtone for school, and sets it up for students or teachers.

NEW TOOLS
• Sight-reading: melodies that sound like real music, graded like school festival sight-reading. Overtone listens and marks every note for pitch, timing and length.
• Theory drills: notes, key signatures, intervals, chords and scales, with the answers played back on your instrument.
• Your year in practice: a recap of your 2026, arriving in early December.

LOOKS AND FEELS BETTER

FIXES
• The tuner stays usable with the metronome running loud.

• The screen stays on while you practise.
• Tools open faster.
• Sight-reading no longer marks on-time notes as late.
