OneTuner does one thing and does it well. Open the app, play a note, and instantly see if you're in tune. The screen shows your note in solfege notation with a precision needle meter.

OneTuner starts listening the moment you open it and stops when you leave. It works with any instrument β guitar, piano, violin, cello, ukulele, flute, voice, anything that makes a pitch. No ads. No account. No subscription. No internet required. No data collected. Your audio never leaves your device. OneTuner is the tuner you open when you just want to tune and get back to playing.
