Your music stays yours.
No account, no ads, no analytics. NoteCurrent analyzes sound on your device and never uploads or saves your audio. To name a song, the iPhone and Android apps send Apple's Shazam service a short fingerprint, not the audio, and you can turn that off in Settings. Your Library, charts and practice log stay on your device.

Questions
Is NoteCurrent free?
Yes. No ads and no account.
How accurate is the key?
It's an estimate with a match percentage. Most pop, rock and folk songs come out clearly; when a song sits between two keys, NoteCurrent shows the alternatives instead of guessing.
Can it hear music from Spotify or YouTube?
Yes. Play it out loud near your device and tap Start listening.
Which instruments does it support?
Chords and scales are shown for piano, guitar and ukulele. The tuner works with any instrument or voice.
Does it upload my recordings?
No. Audio is analyzed on your device and never saved.
