Field notes

The interface combines a configurable neck diagram with a chromatic tuner and practice exercises. Users can define tunings, choose between right- and left-handed layouts, compare all matching note positions, and inspect intervals from a selected root. Additional views connect major keys to relative minors through a circle of fifths. Microphone feedback includes detected note, frequency, octave-related position, and cent deviation, while the page states that processing remains on the device.
