What Fine Tuner is
Fine Tuner listens through an available audio input, detects notes in real time, and indicates whether an instrument is in tune, too high, or too low. It supports guitars, basses, violins, ukuleles, banjos, and mandolins with standard and alternative tunings. Automatic detection, manual target notes, and chromatic mode provide different tuning approaches. Visual feedback includes a needle dial, pitch-over-time graph, and spectrum showing fundamental frequency and harmonics. Circle of Notes plays reference notes and chords for ear training and pitch practice. Settings cover reference frequency, temperament, sensitivity, microphone gain, note notation, and sharp or flat display. Custom tunings can contain 1 to 99 notes at 20 to 5000 Hz, but creating and saving them requires the full version. On mobile, free spectrum use lasts about two minutes per 24-hour period. Fine Tuner is available on Android, iOS, and Windows.
