About TuneStand
Practice tools that open instantly and stay out of your way.
Why TuneStand exists
Most musicians just need a steady click, a quick tuning check or a reference pitch, and they need it now, not after an app download, an account signup or a loading screen. TuneStand puts five essential tools one tap away in any modern browser: an online metronome, a chromatic tuner, a tone generator, a tap tempo counter and a note frequency chart.
How it is built
Everything runs on the Web Audio API, the same audio engine browsers use for games and music software. The metronome schedules clicks on the audio hardware clock so the beat does not drift, the tuner analyses your microphone signal locally with autocorrelation pitch detection, and the tone generator synthesises waveforms in real time. Because all of this happens on your device, the tools work the same on a phone backstage as on a laptop in a studio, and nothing you play is uploaded.
Free, with no account needed
TuneStand is free to use and has no accounts to sign up for. The site may show ads and use basic analytics to keep that free, but every tool still runs its actual calculations client-side, in your browser. You can read more about how data, cookies and ads are handled on the privacy page.
