Tuner-Flow — Chromatic Tuner A fast, accurate chromatic tuner for guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, and more. Tune by ear or by eye with two meter styles — a classic strobe display and a traditional needle meter. The string guide shows all your strings at a glance, highlights the closest match as you play, and locks in with a satisfying haptic when you're spot on. Enable auto-advance and it moves to the next string automatically, so you can keep both hands on the instrument. Switch to chromatic mode for instrument-agnostic tuning — ideal for vocals, wind instruments, or anything that isn't a guitar. Features Strobe and needle meter modes Auto string detection with manual override Auto-advance through strings when in tune Chromatic mode for any instrument or voice 17 tunings across guitar, bass, ukulele, and banjo Reference tone playback per string Adjustable A4 reference pitch (420–460 Hz) Microphone sensitivity and input source controls Haptic feedback when locked in tune
