FOR BEGINNERS AND PROS: A smooth and accurate tuner optimized for Guitar, Bass, Ukulele & more. It integrates more than 100 tunings and can be customized to your needs. 100+ TUNINGS The app integrates all common tunings as well as many alternative tunings. Use the "Search" function to find what you're looking for quickly. Predefined tunings are available for: ▶ Guitar | 6, 7, 8, and 12 strings. ▶ Bass | 4, 5, and 6 strings ▶ Ukulele ▶ Violin ▶ Viola ▶ Cello CAPO SUPPORT Adjusts the tuning to the capo position. When you use a capo, the notes on your guitar change. This can get fiddly when tuning, especially if you're using alternate tunings that you're not as familiar with. With the app, you don't have to think about transposed strings. Tip: When tuning with the capo, it is particularly important that you first tune the string a little lower and then tune "from below" towards the tone. Because the capo clamps the strings, you have to pull the string gently after you have tuned it a little lower and then tune it. CUSTOM TUNING Do you have special ideas on how your instrument should be tuned? "Custom Tuning" lets you create tunings for 1-12 strings and specify a different concert pitch from 440 Hz for each tuning. CHROMATIC TUNER Tune any instrument as you wish with the chromatic tuner. If you know which note you want to tune, this is the easiest way. APP SETTINGS The app can be customized to your needs. ▶ In-tune Range Define your "in-tune" range. A smaller range makes tuning more difficult but results in a more precisely tuned instrument. ▶ Concert pitch You can specify a different concert pitch if, for example, you are playing with an instrument that has been tuned differently. Or you want to give your music a different timbre. ▶ Reactivity and microphone sensitivity Set how quickly you want the tuner to respond and adjust the microphone sensitivity to your environment. If you are in a quiet environment (recommended) or your instrument is relatively quiet, you can set the sensitivity higher. In a noisy environment, your instrument should be clearly audible. You can try lowering the sensitivity a bit. ▶ String numbers The strings are numbered consecutively. Starting with the lowest (usually thinnest) string. You can have these numbers permanently displayed to keep a better overview. ▶ Octave You can display the octave of the string. ▶ Note names You can choose between English (B), German (H), and Do-Re-Mi variants. ▶ Accidentals The accidentals (# as well as b) will differ depending on the tuning. If you have a preference for one of the two variants, you can specify this in the settings. COLOR THEMES You can choose from different app themes. A dark mode is included in the Free version. CONNECT WITH TONALY AND UNLOCK TUNINGS If you are also a user of the app "Tonaly: Write & Practice Songs" you can unlock more tunings.

Thanks for your review! ### 1/5 — Keine Line-In Erkennung *2026-01-18* Die App erkennt leider keinen Ton vom Line-In und ist daher für mich nicht nützlich. **Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback – ich schaue mir das an! ### 5/5 — language be Chinese *2026-01-14* Can the language be Chinese？ **Developer response:** Thank you for your review – Not yet, sorry! ### 5/5 — This app is so cool!! *2025-12-25* The reason I love it, is because it is free and has guitar, ukulele, and more and makes my ukulele sound great! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2025-10-25* Makes tuning like a little cute game. Loved it <3 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — Not so good 🫣 *2025-09-25* Almost everything needs pro!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 ### 5/5 — Tuny, terrible name for a great app *2025-09-10* Tuny is an excellent everyday tool for my guitar. Loads on the computer's desktop in its own window and supplies a number of options that are helpful and expand your understanding of how tuning works and your guitar produces sound. Tuny adds value to your computer or device AND your guitar. full disclosure: Months of daily use of Tuny and experimenting with settings. Has replaced all other tuners in use. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review (also regarding the name :-) ### 2/5 — Strange and unreliable *2025-08-14* Wanted to to custom tuning but the strings kept jumping to others and just basic user UI is terrible when trying to actually tune the guitar. I expect to press on the string and it holds until I tune it. Not in this app. It keeps jumping into other strings, trying to “predict” which string i am actually playing and its incorrect. Wanted to believe in this app but it disappointed. Canceling my subscription. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! You can long press a string in order to "lock it". Then only the locked string is targeted when strumming a string. ### 5/5 — Tuny, terrible name for a great app *2025-04-11* After buying and using a number of guitar tuner devices and testing a dozen or more online app's I have found Tuny to be an excellent everyday tool for my guitar. The app has the advantage of not requirig a web browser as it loads on your computer's desktop in its own window. The options available to the user are enough to cover needs without being too many. WE pay a lot for our computers and rarely get full use out of them so an app like Tuny has the added bonus of upping the value of our purchase that too often goes short of its full potential. 5 stars for a well designed app with a cringeworthy name. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review (also regarding the name :-) ### 5/5 — Awesome Tuner App *2025-04-11* TUNY is an A++ app for anyone who needs to tune a guitar, bass, ukulele or orchestra (violin, viola, and cello). Guitar and bass allow you to choose the number of strings your instrument has as well. It includes the standard tuning presets and a TON of alternate tuning presets. Beautifully simple design. Also included are a chromatic style tuning and the ability to add custom tuning presets. I love this app and have removed all my old tuning apps since downloading this gem. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ## Frequently asked questions about TUNY ### What instruments can I tune with this app?
