Introducing SteadyTune, the menu bar tuner for your Mac. Beautiful, accurate, stable, intuitive: you have to see it to believe it. A POWERFUL TUNER RIGHT WHERE YOU NEED IT Guitar players and musicians are some of the heaviest Mac users around. SteadyTune, the Mac menu bar tuner from the makers of GuitarToolkit and AmpKit, is beautifully implemented, amazingly lightweight, and always available when you need it. Now you can add tuning to the list of musical tasks your Mac is great at! ACCURATE AND STABLE SteadyTune's tuning algorithm is completely new, developed based on our 5 years of experience with the award-winning GuitarToolkit app. SteadyTune improves upon earlier-generation tuners in two ways: better tuning accuracy, and vastly improved needle stability when tuning. The difference is dramatic. EASY ON THE EYES A great tuning algorithm deserves a great tuning visualization, and SteadyTune introduces an altogether new visualization, with a high-precision log-ruled tuning strip that smoothly animates from out-of-tune dark red to in-tune bright green. The combination of this highly-intuitive visualization with SteadyTune's stability and precise note detection results in a fast, accurate and enjoyable tuning experience. MORE THAN JUST GUITAR Whatever instrument you're tuning, SteadyTune has you covered. And the list extends well beyond guitar: ◼ 6 String Guitar ◼ 7 String Guitar ◼ 12 String Guitar ◼ 4 String Bass ◼ 5 String Bass ◼ 6 String Bass ◼ Banjo ◼ Mandolin ◼ Ukulele ◼ Violin ◼ Cello ◼ Viola ◼ Double Bass In fact, with SteadyTune's "All Instruments" setting, you can tune just about anything—woodwinds, brass, you name it. Note: bagpipes are prohibited. KEY FEATURES ◼ 13 identified instruments plus "All Instruments" mode ◼ Over 200 alternate tunings ◼ Adjustable reference pitch ◼ "Always on top" mode ◼ "Start at login" option ◼ Mappable keyboard shortcuts ◼ Tune using the built-in mic or select an audio interface ◼ Works with AmpKit LiNK HD and other USB guitar interfaces ◼ Level meter shows signal strength Follow SteadyTune on Twitter: @SteadyTune Be a SteadyTune fan on Facebook: Facebook.com/SteadyTune
Still works in 2020 in Mojave!
Love this little tuner. The code must be fairly clean as it hasn't been updateed in 7 years yet still works in 10.14.6 without any performance issues that I can tell. The GUI is still slick looking 7 years on. It would be cool if the tuner could be scaled, but it's perfect the way it is. Looks fantastic on a 4k monitor! It sits quitely in my menu bar until it's time to teach guitar over Zoom. And I find myself practicing more at my Mac with headphones on so I probably get more use out of it now than I did five years ago. Here's hoping that Agile recompile the code for Apple Silicon along with Guitar Toolkit, which is still one of the best teacher's assistants on iOS.
Works alright but not great
Hardly ever see's both of the E strings. The meter is registering, but rarely does it give a tuning measurement. Makes this app quite useless in practical applications, and is EXTREMELY frustrating to intonate with.
No longer works
On macOS Catalina it's impossible to configure a mic input. This software hasn't been updated for years. Do not purchase.
Scam....
I downloaded and it won't open on my MAC
Not showing macbook mic input anymore
Not showing macbook mic input anymore in the app preferences for MacOS mojave and up. Now it isn't working. Bummer too because there is nothing else like this. Fix please.
DOESN'T WORK ANY MORE AND DEVELOPER IS NONRESPONSIVE
Title says it all...
Broken on Mojave
App sees no input on my iMac Pro with Mojave.
