TunedSax — Your Essential Saxophone Tuner
TunedSax is the tuner built specifically for saxophonists, from first-year students to working pros. Precise pitch detection, a built-in metronome, and now a full practice companion — all in one app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.
TUNING, DONE RIGHT
Real-time pitch feedback tuned to how saxophones actually behave, so every note lands exactly where it should. A clean, glanceable display keeps you focused on playing, not squinting at a screen.
METRONOME BUILT IN
Set your tempo and lock into the groove, whether you're running scales alone or keeping time with a band.
STUDY WITH YOUR SHEET MUSIC
Import your sheet music as PDFs and practice right alongside it — turn pages, zoom in, and organize everything into categories so you always know what to work on next.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
See your practice history laid out on a chart, and drill into any session to see exactly what you worked on and for how long.
DRONE TONES
Play a sustained reference pitch and train your ear to hear intonation the way your fingers already feel it.
Tuning and the metronome are free for everyone. Study, Practice History, and Drone Tone are available with a single one-time purchase — no subscription.
Download TunedSax and make every practice session count.
