Tune your guitar, keep a songbook, and build ideas with Jam.
- iPhone
- iPad
Tuner by Frido brings guitar tuning, a personal songbook, and song ideas together. Get your guitar in tune, keep lyrics and chords ready to play, and explore something new with Jam.
Get your guitar in tune
Play a string and see whether it is sharp, flat, or in tune. Clear pitch feedback helps you tune acoustic and electric guitars to standard six-string tuning. Choose each string yourself, or let Auto Move take you to the next one when it is ready.
Keep your songs ready
Save lyrics and chords in a songbook organized by artist. Keep different arrangements of the same song, add the key and tempo, and write down capo positions, strumming patterns, or anything you want to remember.
Follow along while you play
Open a song in Live mode and let the lyrics and chords scroll as you play. Adjust the text size and scrolling speed, add timed pauses where you need them, and loop a song to keep practicing.
Find your next song idea
Jam gives you 120 original song sketches across 12 styles, including rock, folk, blues, funk, and jazz. Each sketch has chords and sections ready to play. Change the key, edit the chords, and rearrange the sections to make it yours or start with a blank Jam.

A few things you might wonder.
Can I tune an acoustic or electric guitar with my iPhone or iPad?
Yes. Allow microphone access and play one string at a time so Tuner can hear it clearly. You do not need to connect your guitar with a cable. Tuner supports standard six-string tuning.
What are the notes for standard guitar tuning?
From the thickest, lowest-pitched string to the thinnest, highest-pitched string, standard guitar tuning is E, A, D, G, B, E. Tuner shows the six strings as E A D G B e.
Does Tuner include a songbook for lyrics and chords?
Yes. A song holds its title and artist, while each named version has its own lyrics, chords, key, tempo, and notes. For example, keep an Acoustic arrangement alongside a Live arrangement without replacing either.
Can Jam help me write a song?
Yes. Use a sketch as a starting point or create a blank Jam, then save it to Songbook when you want to keep developing it. Jam provides chord progressions and song structures to play yourself; it does not play audio recordings.
Does my songbook sync privately with iCloud?
Yes. Sign in to the same iCloud account on your iPhone and iPad. Your library uses your private iCloud database. Edits save locally while you are offline, and Apple manages sync when a connection is available.
Is Tuner a guitar tuner app without ads?
Yes. Tuner is a paid app with no ads or subscription, and Songbook, Live, and Jam are included. Optional one-time support tips are available in the app and do not unlock features.
Tune up. Find your song. Start playing.
Get your guitar ready, open a song you love, or make a new idea yours.
