Lives in the menu bar
There's no window to find and nothing to launch. It starts listening when you open it and stops the moment you close it.
Reads every instrument
The chromatic tuner hears anything with a pitch. Guitar, bass, ukulele, violin and cello modes show each string, and know Drop D, DADGAD, Open G and ten more tunings.
It doesn't guess
The reading settles and stays put. When OrthoTune can't hear a clear pitch, it says so, and waits.
Works with any input
Built-in mic, USB interface or an external microphone, picked straight from the popover. The audio is processed on your Mac and discarded; there's no server for it to go to.
Free, with one small purchase
The chromatic tuner is completely free, with no ads. £3.99, once, adds instrument modes, alternative tunings, the global shortcut and reference pitch. There is no subscription, and there won't be one.
