About Instrument Tuner - Tunefork
**An instrument tuner that doesn't hide its error.**
Most tuner apps say they are accurate but never tell you how accurate. Tunefork ships an accuracy
report inside the app: the worst error it produced, from a quiet room to rehearsal-room noise, in
plain numbers. Those numbers are re-measured on every build, and the build fails if accuracy gets
worse. It is a test result, not a marketing line.
■ Just play a string
No need to pick which string first. Play one and the app follows; strings you have tuned stay filled
in below. You see how many cents you are off as a number and on a gauge needle, and the colour changes
when you land in tune.
■ Change settings while you tune
No trip to a settings screen. Guitar, bass, ukulele and violin — and the A4 reference at 440Hz, 442Hz
or 432Hz — all switch right on the tuning screen.
■ Instruments
Guitar tuner (standard, drop D, open G), bass, ukulele tuner, violin, mandolin, and a chromatic mode
that is not tied to strings — useful for instruments like the kalimba.
■ A metronome is included
Set BPM and time signature to practise. Beats are pinned to the audio timeline rather than to a
clock, so a momentary stutter on screen does not push the beat. Subdivisions and presets are included too.
■ Check it on your own phone
Every phone microphone is a little different. Tunefork plays a reference tone (A4) by itself and
measures how differently this device's microphone hears it.
■ About ads
One banner at the bottom, plus one ad in the confirmation window when you close the app. No ad ever
interrupts you while you are tuning or while the metronome is running. Ad content is restricted to a
family-safe rating, because instrument practice apps get used with children around.
■ Microphone
Used only to hear your instrument and work out its pitch. Nothing is recorded, stored or sent
anywhere. All analysis happens on your device.
■ Works without internet
Tuning, the metronome and the accuracy report all work in airplane mode. Only anonymous usage
statistics and ads use the internet, and the sound your microphone hears never leaves your device.
