I’m looking for a guitar tuner app that is FOSS/private in nature.
I saw one called tunerly, but figured I’d check here if there are any recommendations.
Tuner. A great app to use.
Seconded. One of the first foss projects I donated to :)
Thanks for the rec. I tried it last night and am very happy with it, better than what I expected.
You can use Tuner. It can tune many instruments.
Thank you. I’m going to check it out.
Tuner works, & is great.
That said, I’d really like a better display.
Just realized there are 2 instances of ‘Tuner’
The f-droid version first pick has a better UI
I use a physical tuner
I found this as well on f-droid,Tunerly but I don’t know if that is indeed what you meant.
Yeah, that’s the one that came up in my initial search. The recommended app Tuner is pretty damn good.
Why not just buy a device with this intended purpose?
Sometimes I’m not at home and find a guitar. Sometimes I’m at home and my phone is closer than my tuner is.
You’ve got a computer in your hand that can do millions of things. Why don’t you buy something to do one task instead of installing free software?
SMH
A dedicated piece of hardware is going to be significantly more accurate and easier to use.
I actually own a chromatic tuner, and it stays at home with my guitar. Sometimes I’m elsewhere and need a tuner. Which for the record the recommended Tuner app is phenomenal, and very accurate.
Definitely NOT more accurate with 95% of tuners available to buy. Just simpler, dedicated UI. So yes, easier to use.
Tuners are dedicated to sell, not tune better.
Tuners are dedicated to sell, not tune better.
LOL what? You could say the same about literally any product or service. But ultimately they have to provide a product or service that the purchaser wants or needs or they can’t sell them…
