I’m looking for a guitar tuner app that is FOSS/private in nature.
I saw one called tunerly, but figured I’d check here if there are any recommendations.
I found this as well on f-droid,Tunerly but I don’t know if that is indeed what you meant.
Yeah, that’s the one that came up in my initial search. The recommended app Tuner is pretty damn good.

Sometimes I’m not at home and find a guitar. Sometimes I’m at home and my phone is closer than my tuner is.
You’ve got a computer in your hand that can do millions of things. Why don’t you buy something to do one task instead of installing free software?

I actually own a chromatic tuner, and it stays at home with my guitar. Sometimes I’m elsewhere and need a tuner. Which for the record the recommended Tuner app is phenomenal, and very accurate.
Definitely NOT more accurate with 95% of tuners available to buy. Just simpler, dedicated UI. So yes, easier to use.
Tuners are dedicated to sell, not tune better.

Tuner. A great app to use.
Thanks for the rec. I tried it last night and am very happy with it, better than what I expected.
Seconded. One of the first foss projects I donated to :)
Generally, I’d recommend F-Droid as a best first place to go for app recommendations if you’re interested in privacy and such. The vast majority of software there will be ridiculously in line with your privacy wishes, and the ones that have minor caveats will be explicitly marked as such. And its search interface is very decent.
Thanks. I wholeheartedly agree. I was just looking for recommendations from the community based on experience.
I use a physical tuner
You can use Tuner. It can tune many instruments.
Tuner works, & is great.
That said, I’d really like a better display.
Just realized there are 2 instances of ‘Tuner’
The f-droid version first pick has a better UI
Thank you. I’m going to check it out.
