In their own words
LunaTuna
LunaTuna is a chromatic tuner for iPhone, iPad, and compatible Mac computers. Its Free plan costs nothing and provides chromatic tuning without ads. The app is described as about 1 MB and can tune guitar, violin, cello, bass, kalimba, ukulele, saxophone, and other instruments. You can change the 440 Hz reference frequency. An optional Extension Pack costs $2.99, paid once and adds common and custom tunings, transposition, an in-tune precision setting, 14 extra color ways, dark mode support, and alternate temperaments. Compatibility is iOS or iPadOS 14 or later on iPhone and iPad, and macOS 11 or later on Macs with an M1 or newer chip. Bass cut is enabled by default; tuning C#2 or lower requires turning it off, although the extension ignores bass cut for tunings with low notes. Quiet surroundings help pitch detection, and low-output instruments may need the microphone close to their strings.
