What Moekadu Tuner is
Moekadu Tuner is a free Android app for tuning musical instruments. It detects pitch with autocorrelation and FFT spectrum analysis, then evaluates spectrum phase information and polynomial fitting to improve accuracy. A pitch-history view shows how detected pitch changes over time, and intonation monitoring is listed alongside support for a custom reference pitch. The app supports equal temperament and other temperaments, including non-12-tone EDO temperaments. Its built-in instrument database can be supplemented with custom instruments. Signal settings include FFT window size, window type, and overlap. Moekadu requests microphone access through the RECORD_AUDIO permission to analyze and display instrument pitch; its privacy policy says it otherwise does not collect or use private data. The project is GPLv3 licensed. The Android listing names Michael Mößner as developer, provides the support email [email protected], and directs bug reports to GitHub issues. The README says the project has migrated to Codeberg.
