Chromtuner: Guitar Tuner

ChromTuner is a precision chromatic tuner with the soul of vintage hardware — a warm LED display, instant response, and pitch detection accurate to a fraction of a cent. It's built on the same audio engine as ChromTuner for macOS, trusted by guitarists, string players, and instrument techs.

The free version is a complete tuner, not a demo:

• Chromatic mode — tune any instrument, any note, from a 5-string bass's low B to the top of a violin's range • Guitar presets: Standard E and Drop D, with tap-to-play reference tones for every string • Two displays: the classic LED bar meter and a vintage analog needle • A gentle haptic tap the moment a string locks in tune • Full detection accuracy — the free version uses the exact same engine as Pro • No ads. No account. No tracking. Ever.

ACCURACY YOU CAN TRUST

Under the retro looks is a serious instrument: YIN pitch detection with octave-error correction (so a guitar's strong second harmonic can't fool it), median filtering to reject transients, and processing at the microphone's full sample rate. It hears a quietly plucked acoustic string and stays rock-steady while you tune.

MADE FOR THE STAGE AND THE COUCH

A big note readout you can read from across the room, thumb-reach controls for one-handed use, true dark themes for dim stages, and a screen that stays awake while you tune.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

The microphone signal is analyzed on your device in real time and is never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. ChromTuner works completely offline and collects no data at all.
