Maestro
The most beautiful way to tune, keep time, and practice.
A studio-grade tuner, metronome, and practice companion that finally looks and feels as good as it sounds. Real-time native pitch detection drives a buttery needle and a calm in-tune color cue; a sample-accurate metronome clicks without drift; and an honest practice log turns daily minutes into visible progress. All audio is processed live on-device.

What you get
Maestro was built for exactly this.
The core features that make Maestro different from the generic alternatives.
Real-time chromatic tuner with a fast, stable needle, cents readout, strobe view, and a green "locked" cue when you nail the note (in-tune within a few cents).
Instrument presets — guitar, bass, violin, ukulele, brass, voice — with strings laid out as labeled chips, plus a haptic tick the instant you hit pitch.
Alternate tunings, transposition, adjustable A4 reference (415–466 Hz), and Pro temperaments beyond equal (just intonation, Pythagorean).
Sample-accurate metronome with tap-tempo, subdivisions, accents, time signatures, count-in, and a haptic tempo pulse you can feel.
Pro practice tools
a drone / tone generator for ear training and intonation, a practice timer with an honest day streak, and a session log.
Insights charts and CSV/PDF export of your practice history, with optional iCloud sync across your devices (Pro).
A note from the studio
“I kept downloading tuners and metronomes that were accurate but ugly — tools I used every day and never enjoyed opening. Maestro is the one I wanted: native low-latency audio, an instrument-grade gauge, and a quiet practice log that respects your time. It's free as a chromatic tuner and basic metronome; Pro is a single $4.99 unlock, never a subscription, and never any ads.”
