"Tiny Pitch is by far the best pitch pipe app for the Apple watch." -Pixiepepper56, 5-star review "It is simple enough for elementary students to use yet crafted with attention to the most subtle details useful to pros." --SternVocalStudio, 5-star review "The only pitch pipe I'll ever need." -JacobMusic100, 5-star review -- TinyPitch is a pitch pipe that lives on your wrist. Give a choir its starting note, check your own pitch, or find a key without digging your phone out of your pocket. TAP TO PLAY Every note of the 12-tone chromatic scale is on one screen. Tap a note to start it, tap again to stop, or let it fade out on its own. THREE INSTRUMENTS Press and hold any note to choose piano, clarinet, or a pure tone. THREE OCTAVES, AND IT REMEMBERS Swipe up on a note for the octave above, down for the one below. Your choice stays until you change it — including the next time you open the app — so you are not resetting it after every note. The keypad shades to the left when you are in the low octave and to the right when you are in the high one, so you can always see where you are. VOLUME IN YOUR FINGERTIPS Spin the Digital Crown, while a note is playing or between notes. Loud enough for a whole choir, or quiet enough that only you hear it with the watch held to your ear. ONE TAP FROM YOUR WATCH FACE Add the TinyPitch complication to any face, including the modern Infograph faces, and your starting note is one tap away. No phone required once it is installed. No account, no ads, no subscription.
Musical Keyboard

A mini keyboard for your watch. How many times have you wanted to get a pitch only to realize you had to fire up your computer, or turn on your keyboard just to get a pitch? No need to find your guitar, just use the music keyboard on your watch! Fast, easy, obvious. Bonus screens contains guitar and ukulele pitches. Use the crown to change octaves or just press on the screen. If you don't have perfect pitch, but have great relative pitch, this is a great tool to have around to find a reference pitch. Sometimes you just want to find out what key a song is in, or you want to transcribe some chords which are easy, but you don't know the starting key. You know that all you need is a reference pitch.
