Verity is a guitar tuner built for precision and restraint — a clean needle, an honest reading, and nothing in the way. Play a string and the note settles into place. Verity listens on-device, tracks your pitch in real time, and shows exactly how far you are from in tune, down to the cent. It ignores string noise and the octave errors that make lesser tuners jump around, so the reading you see is the one you can trust. The free tuner is complete — chromatic detection, standard guitar tuning, and the full needle display at concert pitch A = 440. No ads, ever. VERITY PRO — a one-time unlock • Alternate tunings — Drop D, Half Step Down, DADGAD, Open G, Open D • More instruments — dedicated presets for bass, ukulele, and violin/mandolin • Adjustable reference pitch — A = 430–450, with 432/440/442 presets • High-precision strobe mode for fine, studio-grade tuning • Accent themes to make it your own • Manual string mode — lock onto a single string when it's far off Unlock Pro once and it's yours forever. No subscription, ever. Private by design: audio is analyzed on your device and never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. Tune with confidence.
