Twelve tools in one app

From checking whether a machine sounds different today to tuning a bass or measuring how long a note rings.

Analyze

Real-time spectrum

FFT spectrum with dominant frequency, peak hold, cursor readout, zoom and linear or logarithmic scale.

Analyze

Spectrogram

Scrolling waterfall view with selectable color palettes. Pause it, read any point and save it as an image.

Analyze

Levels and octave bands

RMS and peak in dBFS, clipping indicator and ten octave bands from 31.5 Hz to 16 kHz.

Compare

References

Save any measurement as a reference: a fan when new, an empty room, a guitar with fresh strings.

Compare

Side-by-side comparison

Overlaid spectra, level change per band, frequencies that appeared or disappeared, and warnings when two measurements are not comparable.

Compare

Export

Uncompressed WAV audio, CSV and JSON data, and images of your charts, shared only where you choose.

Tune

Chromatic tuner

Note, octave and cents with presets for guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, viola and cello, plus your own tunings. A4 reference is adjustable.

Tune

Tuning monitor

Hold a note and see how well it stays in tune: average and maximum deviation and time within tolerance.

Tune

Harmonics and sustain

Level and tuning of the first twelve harmonics, and how long a note rings with its 20 dB and 40 dB decay times.

Practice

Tone generator

Sine, square and triangle waves, white and pink noise, and frequency sweeps. Always starts at low volume.

Practice

Metronome

Sample-accurate clicks with tap tempo, subdivisions, accents, progressive tempo increase and presets.

Practice

Practice recorder

Record takes, loop a section, add markers and notes, and compare two performances.

Private by design

The app does not request internet access, so Android itself prevents it from sending anything anywhere.

  • All audio is processed on your phone.
  • The only permission it asks for is the microphone, and it is used only after you press a button.
  • No account, no ads, no analytics.
  • You decide what to keep, and you can delete any recording from the app.

About accuracy

Measurements made with the phone's microphone are approximate. Response, gain and processing vary by device. This app does not replace a certified sound level meter.

Levels are shown in dBFS, the digital level relative to the maximum the phone can record. An estimated dB SPL value appears only if you calibrate against a reference meter. What the app does best is compare: two measurements taken with the same phone, in the same place, with the same settings.
