Help with Tonewick, the metronome, tuner, drone and ear-training app.
A pocket practice room for instrumentalists and singers: a steady metronome, a tuner, a sustained drone to tune against, and ear-training drills.
Only the Tune screen and the Sing back drill listen to you, to measure the pitch you play or sing. Sound is analysed live on your device and is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere. If you tap Don't Allow, everything else still works; you can turn it on later in Settings > Tonewick.
Play one clear note at a time, close to the device, in a quiet room. Very low strings may need a moment to settle. Pick the instrument preset that matches yours and check Concert A (440 Hz by default) in the Tune screen.
Yes. Start it, and the click continues in the background and while the device is locked, until you press Stop or another app takes the audio.
Yes. The tools are free and ad-supported (Google AdMob banners and an occasional full-screen ad). Nothing is locked behind a payment.
