DuckTune: Tune, Play & Shoot
Guitar Tuner & Piano Notes
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tune your guitar by shooting ducks, then play notes, chords and strings on guitar or piano through 30 retro levels. Now on iPad, too!
Tune your guitar by shooting ducks. Then grab your guitar or sit at the piano and hunt through 30 levels of retro sky, playing the notes and chords that bring them down.
A GUITAR TUNER THAT PLAYS LIKE A GAME
Pluck a string and a pixel duck takes off. Sharp, it flies above the sight; flat, below. Bring the string in tune and hold it there, and the duck is shot: IN TUNE! Tune all six strings and your guitar is ready. Standard tuning, automatic string detection or pick the string yourself. The tuner is free, forever.
PLAY THE NOTE IN THE SIGHT
Ducks roam the sky and fly through the crosshair. Play the note shown while the duck is in the sight and it goes down. Any octave counts. The quicker you hit, the bigger the bonus.
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
- SHEET MUSIC: the note is written on a treble staff. Learn to read music as you play.
- NOTES: the note as a letter: E, F#, Bb and the rest.
- CHORDS: strum the chord shown. Open chords first, then F and B, then every major and minor chord, barre chords too.
GUITAR OR PIANO
Play a guitar, your own piano (DuckTune listens through the microphone), or the one-octave keyboard on screen when there's no instrument around.
UP TO THREE DUCKS AT ONCE
30 levels across 10 worlds, from pine woods and snowy peaks to a moonlit marsh. Ducks fly faster and roam further every level. From level 11 two ducks fly at once, from level 21 three, each with its own note. Play the note of the duck in the sight.
PUT YOUR FACE ON THE DUCKS
Pick any photo and DuckTune turns it into an 8-bit sprite that flies instead of the ducks. Keep as many as you like. Photos are processed and kept on your iPhone.
HIGH SCORES
Worldwide top 20 in Game Center for each mode, and your own top 10.
PAY ONCE, PLAY FOREVER
The tuner is free. The first level of every mode is free. One unlock opens all 30 levels, all modes and avatars. No subscription, no ads, no account.
YOUR PRIVACY
The microphone is only used to hear your instrument. Audio is analysed live on your iPhone and never recorded or saved. No tracking.

NEW: STRINGS MODE
Play the open strings E A D G B E to shoot the ducks. The low E and the high E count as different strings, so you’ll learn them both.

DuckTune runs on iPad too.
WINGED AVATARS
Your photo avatars now flap their own wings, in their duck’s colour.
