Kalimba Studio: Tuner & Tabs

Learn 17 key songs by numbers

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

A confidence-gated cents tuner, rhythm-true number tabs, honest Wait Mode, A-B loops, and care guidance with no ads. Kalimba Studio helps you tune a physical kalimba, understand its centre-out layout, learn rhythm from number tabs, and practise without ads. TUNE AND CARE FOR EVERY TINE • Read the detected note, cents offset, and signal confidence. • Get one-tap-at-a-time hammer guidance only after a clean reading. • Follow a least-force buzz guide: isolate, centre, clear, then stop before unsafe torque. • Keep the tuner and care centre without a subscription. TABS THAT TEACH RHYTHM • See duration-proportional number tabs instead of rhythm-blind number sheets. • Hear a phrase first, slow it to 50%, scrub, and repeat an A-B section. • Practise with an audible metronome. • Compare timing and tine-choice results separately in Play-Along. HONEST WAIT MODE • One distinct, confidence-gated physical pluck advances each expected note. • Overtone-aware listening asks you to retry when the signal is unclear and never turns uncertainty into a wrong-note verdict. • Microphone audio is processed on the device and is not recorded, saved, or uploaded. • Guide playback is suspended while microphone grading is active. FITS YOUR KALIMBA • Switch among 8, 10, 15, 17, and 21-key C layouts. • Lesson arrangements are re-fitted to real tines without chromatic note substitutions. • On standard 17-key C, 68 of the 80 rights-reviewed graded melody lessons fit; 12 incompatible melodies are explicitly withheld. • Every release row carries an approved public-domain source ledger; no unresolved song, malformed-meter row, or unreviewed song-name chart tier is bundled. MAKE AND SHARE YOUR OWN TABS • Write notes, rests, chords, bars, and exact beat durations. • Preview every musical token before saving. • Export clean rhythm-aware PNG and PDF sheets. • Your private tabs stay on this device unless you choose to share an export. FREE FOREVER The playable instrument, cents tuner, tine-care and buzz guide, zigzag layout drill, three starter lessons, three saved private tabs, and one PNG + PDF export remain available without Pro. KALIMBA PRO Pro unlocks every graded lesson that fits the selected board, collection-wide Wait Mode and A-B practice, and unlimited private tabs, custom tunings, and PNG + PDF exports. Monthly and yearly prices, introductory-offer eligibility, renewal terms, purchase, and restore state come directly from the App Store. No account is required for the instrument, tuner, care guide, lessons, tab maker, or local practice. Sign in with Apple is optional for account-backed session guidance. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in App Store account settings. Terms: https://kalimba.keenshift.ai/terms
