StringPilot
Read full descriptionHide full description
StringPilot is a focused tuner and metronome designed for guitarists, bassists and other string players. No social feed, no distractions β just accurate tuning and solid time. The large, clean tuning display shows your note, octave and cents deviation in real time, so you always know whether to tighten or loosen. Preloaded tunings like Standard, Drop D, Open G, Ukulele (GCEA) and Bass (Standard) let you switch setups in a tap. When itβs time to work on your timing, switch to the builtβin metronome. Adjust BPM with fine controls, tap in a tempo you hear, and choose subdivisions to match your exercise or song. StringPilot uses a dark, minimal interface thatβs easy on the eyes in practice rooms, studios and stages. Open the app, pluck a string, and get back to playing.
