Your guitar left standard tuning years ago. Your tuner should keep up. Most tuner apps assume six strings and E standard, and treat everything else as an afterthought. StringSmith starts where they stop: you build the string sets, and the tuner follows you. YOUR STRINGS, YOUR RULES Create and save your own string sets: 7- and 8-string guitars, 5- and 6-string basses, baritone, Drop C, Drop G#, Eb standard, open tunings — or something nobody has named yet. Every string gets exactly the note you choose, so you tune the instrument you actually own, not the one the app expects. ACCURACY YOU CAN SEE A strobe-style LED needle driven by a native audio engine tracks your pitch in real time — fast enough to catch the attack, steady enough to trust the sustain. No lag, no jumpy needle, no guessing. ANY REFERENCE PITCH A4 is yours to set, anywhere from 410 to 480 Hz, with named presets along the way — including 432 Hz for players who tune natural. Change it once and your whole string set moves with it. BUILT LIKE STAGE GEAR A black, glare-free rack-unit interface with machined-metal controls. It looks at home on a dark stage and reads instantly on a bright one. TUNE, DON'T TAP StringSmith opens straight onto the tuner. No splash screens, no menus, no account. Play a string, watch it land. YOUR SOUND STAYS YOURS Pitch detection runs entirely on your device. Your audio is never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. For metal players eight strings deep, bassists dropping past B, blues players a half-step down, and anyone who has ever fought a tuner just to reach Drop A — this one was built for you. Download StringSmith free and put your tuning in your own hands.
