PulseKey Tuner vs NoteCurrent

Get in tune. Find the key. Keep making music. PulseKey puts an always-listening instrument tuner and a song key finder on your iPhone.

ALREADY BOUGHT PULSEKEY? If you purchased the paid app before this free-with-Pro update, lifetime Pro is included at no extra charge. Use the same Apple Account, and choose Restore Purchases in Settings if needed. MADE FOR YOUR NEXT SESSION Move quickly between Key finder and Tuner. PulseKey remembers your last mode, so you can pick up where you left off. No account, advertising or developer analytics. Microphone audio and imported files are not uploaded by PulseKey. A NOTE ABOUT MEASUREMENTS Key and pitch readings are estimates and depend on the instrument, room noise and microphone. For tuning, play one clear note at a time. Complex music can have more than one plausible key. Experimental drum readings may follow an overtone rather than the fundamental. Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase. Restore Purchases is available in Settings and on the Pro screen.

Hear the song. See the music. Play music near your phone and NoteCurrent listens until it's sure: the key, the tempo and the chords, in seconds. Then it shows you how to play it.

NoteCurrent shows its results as estimates, with a match percentage and alternatives when the answer isn't clear-cut. Listen. Understand. Play.
