About this app

🎵 That moment when your bağlama, oud, ney, tanbur, or kanun seems to be in "correct" tuning, but your ear tells you "something is wrong"—that's when your tuner doesn't understand your music.

Every tuner on the market is based on 12 equal temperaments (12-TET), the notation system of Western music. But Turkish maqam music doesn't work that way: scales like Segâh, Evç, and Hüseynî exist at the level of comma-level subtleties that a standard chromatic tuner doesn't recognize.

The Makam Tuner changes that.

★ Natively speaks the AEU (Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek) 53-microtone system
★ Tuning with modes including Rast, Hicaz, Uşşak, Hüseynî, Segâh
★ Switching between different harmonics (bolahenk, mansur, kız, etc.)
★ Includes standard 12-TET chromatic mode — for reference
★ Real-time, precise pitch detection with your microphone
★ Ability to import custom scale files in Scala (.scl) format
★ Completely free, ad-free, no account required

🔒 Privacy is our priority
The microphone sound never leaves your device. The application does not send any network requests, collect any data, or contain any analysis or advertising SDKs. Pitch detection is done entirely on your device, in real-time, and the audio data is discarded as soon as it is analyzed.

💚 Open source
Makam Tuner is completely open source under the MIT license. You can check the code, verify its accuracy yourself, and contribute — because how music is tuned shouldn't be a secret.
