About

The tuner and metronome built for musicians who care about precision and feel. TuneTheory hears your instrument ten milliseconds at a time and shows pitch to a fraction of a cent, with a live waveform that stands perfectly still the moment you land the note. Its metronome is sample-accurate: every click lands exactly where it should, at any tempo, no drift, no jitter. INSTRUMENT TUNER • 45 instruments: guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, viola, cello, banjo, mandolin, and many more • 217 playable tunings, from Standard and Drop D to open tunings and artist favorites, with new artist tunings added every month • Retune guide: pick a new tuning and see which way each string goes, one peg at a time • Not sure what you're in? Play your strings and TuneTheory names your tuning • Auto string detection, capo support, and a locked-in color the instant you're there CHROMATIC TUNER • Full chromatic detection with the nearest note, frequency, and cents • Strobe mode: a real-time waveform locked to the note, motionless when in tune • Reference pitch from A4 = 415 to 466 Hz for orchestral, baroque, and worship tuning METRONOME • Sample-accurate timing that never drifts • Grooves: Backbeat, Shuffle, Waltz, 6/8 Jig, Bossa Nova, One Drop, Train Beat, at the tempo you feel • Living grooves: Challenge drops beats out so you hold the time yourself, Evolve builds over sixteen bars, Surprise rewrites the pattern every four • Eight kits, from clean clicks to felt kicks and kalimba, plus Pulse, a synthesized kit that shifts with every accent • Grid editor: hold any step to rest it, accent it, or give it its own sound • 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, and 7/8, swing feel, tempo ramps, and presets • Sound, haptic, and visual feedback, with a room setting for a little air around each beat ONE UPGRADE, EVERYTHING UNLOCKED TuneTheory is free with generous basics. A single purchase unlocks every instrument and tuning, strobe mode, and the full metronome: every kit, every groove, living grooves, odd meters, swing, tempo ramps, and presets. No subscriptions. No ads. Pay once, own it forever. No tracking. No accounts. Nothing leaves your device.

TuneTheory 2.0 is a new app underneath. • New pitch engine: ten-millisecond response, sub-cent accuracy, no more needle bounce on low strings • Live waveform under the needle that stands still when you're in tune; strobe mode rebuilt around it • Retune guide: switch tunings and see which way each string goes, with progress per string • "What am I tuned to?" names your current tuning from the open strings • Sample-accurate metronome, redesigned: grooves (Backbeat, Shuffle, Waltz, 6/8 Jig, Bossa Nova, One Drop, Train Beat), living grooves that change measure by measure, eight kits including the synthesized Pulse kit, and a grid you can edit by holding a step • Louder, clearer on the phone speaker, with kicks you can actually hear • Pitched confirmation chimes that play the note you just tuned • New look: the Needle mark, warm palette, refreshed onboarding • Practice Sessions have been removed so TuneTheory can focus on being the best tuner and metronome it can be
