APPLE WATCH TUNER · VERSION 1.1.1
Apple Watch Guitar, Bass and Ukulele Tuner
Tune from your wrist without opening the phone. The Watch tuner listens only after you tap Start Tuning, shows the note and cents offset, and gives a haptic cue when the note is in tune.

Choose a mode and start listening
Open the GuitarTool Watch app and swipe from the metronome to the tuner. Choose guitar, ukulele, bass or chromatic mode, then tap Start Tuning. Allow the watch microphone when prompted. Pluck one string at a time and read the note and cents offset; a haptic cue confirms an in-tune note.

- Explicit Start and Stop controls
- Capture ends when you change pages or leave
- No recording or audio upload
Get a cleaner reading
Bring the watch close to the instrument, pluck a single string and mute the others. Wait past the initial attack if the reading jumps. The iPhone and iPad tuner in 1.1.1 also improves fundamental-pitch tracking and holds the last reading for about three seconds after a note ends.
- One string at a time
- Reduce room noise and sympathetic vibration
- Check microphone permission if no signal appears
One app for the full practice flow
Tune first. Keep time. Find the next chord.
