Practice in peace, without interruptionsMetronome & Tuner App

Quietune is a phone app made for practice: tap “Start practice” and your phone goes quiet, so calls and messages don’t interrupt you. It includes a metronome and a tuner and records your daily practice time automatically. Its music game listens as you play, scores your timing and pitch, and lets you practice your own imported scores.

iOS doesn’t allow apps to turn on Focus by themselves. Quietune guides you through a two-minute, one-time Personal Automation shortcut; after that, iOS turns on Do Not Disturb through your shortcut when you open Quietune and restores it when you close the app.

It never uploads audio. The microphone detects pitch in real time on your phone and nothing is sent to any AI. The music game has a “Record this practice” switch, off by default; when it’s on, recordings stay on your phone (excluded from cloud backups) and leave it only if you share them yourself. Tuner, metronome and practice log all work offline.

It’s free to download, and the current version has no ads. The tuner, metronome, practice log and music game work offline; only Ensemble needs the internet.

The iPhone version is available on the App Store; the Android version is available on Google Play.

Yes. Quietune opens MusicXML (.musicxml, .xml, .mxl) and zip files containing them. In MuseScore or other notation software choose Export, then MusicXML, or open a file from your teacher in LINE or Files with Share, then Quietune. You can pick several parts of a multi-part score at once; parts with chords or several voices are scored as rhythm only. Files stay on your phone and are never uploaded.

The game listens through the microphone and scores each note for timing and pitch, with a total on the results page. There are 12 built-in pieces, and the tempo goes from 50% to 120%. Any piece can be switched to “Rhythm only”, which scores timing but not pitch.

Violin, cello, erhu, guitar and ukulele. Turn on “Fingering chart” in the game and the lane shows which string and finger to use for the current note (frets for guitar and ukulele) and marks the next note. You can also tap any note on the staff to see its fingering.

The leader opens a room in Ensemble and picks the piece and tempo; everyone else enters the 6-character room code or scans the QR code and chooses a part. When the leader taps Start, all phones count in together and the score scrolls in sync. A room holds up to about 60 people. It needs the internet (Wi-Fi or mobile data), the microphone stays off, and nothing is scored. For an imported score, everyone imports the same file first.

Run “Click latency” in Settings once. Method 1, tap along: you hear 16 clicks and tap each time; works with headphones (Bluetooth too) or the speaker. Method 2, automatic: the phone speaker plays 12 clicks while the microphone listens; speaker only. For Bluetooth headphones, use method 1. If Bluetooth headphones haven’t been calibrated yet, the app reminds you before a game with clicks or accompaniment, or before you join an ensemble room; “Calibrate” opens calibration right away, and “Not now” won’t ask again for 7 days.

Yes. Turn on “Record this practice” on the music game’s setup page (it’s off by default). Listen on the results page when you finish, or later under Log, Practice recordings. Recordings stay on your phone: never uploaded, excluded from cloud backups and never sent to any AI. When you share, the score card and recording can be made into a short video. Headphones give the cleanest recording; through the speaker, the click and accompaniment are recorded too. Deleted recordings stay in Recently deleted for 30 days.

Turn on “Beginner hints” to get a beat grid and counting under the notes, with syncopations and triplets marked. Tap “Listen to the rhythm” to hear a woodblock demo, slow it to 50% and loop one bar, then play along. There are also 4 rhythm practice pieces (syncopation, ties, triplets). After each round, the results page points out the bar to work on, and one tap replays just that bar.
