Beta Preview
VIPER TUNER

Professional Precision Piano Tuning

High-resolution harmonic analysis meets physics-based optimization. Measure once, tune with confidence.

Beta Preview — For Professional Piano Technicians

We use this software to tune pianos daily and we're confident in the core technology. Rather than develop in isolation and hope we got it right, we chose to release early as a web-based PWA (Progressive Web App)—no app store approval, no platform gatekeepers, just open a browser and go.

We want this to be technician-driven development. Your feedback shapes what we build next.
Install as PWA Must be installed to your home screen for proper display—it's designed for standalone mode, not a browser tab.
Works Offline Once installed, the app works without an internet connection.
Frequent Updates The preview is updated constantly. Features may be added, changed, or removed between sessions.

The tradeoff: "anything with a browser" means an enormous variety of devices, microphones, and OS quirks we can't test exhaustively. We've built a compatibility checker to help verify your device works. Some PWA limitations to be aware of:

  • iOS may require re-granting microphone permissions each session (WebKit limitation)
  • Screen wake lock behavior varies by OS and browser
  • Audio quality depends on your device's microphone—results vary across hardware
These are PWA limitations, not Viper Tuner limitations.

The native iOS and Android apps (coming to official app stores) will handle permissions correctly, enforce hardware compatibility, and eliminate these platform quirks entirely. If you encounter friction during this preview, know that it's the tradeoff for early access—not what the final product will be.

Beta Tester Benefit

As a thank you for participating in the preview and helping shape development, registered beta testers will receive discount pricing at official launch. Preview extends through end of March 2026 for existing testers.

What We're Building

Viper Tuner takes a fundamentally different approach from traditional ETDs (Electronic Tuning Devices). Instead of interpolating between sparse measurements, we use physics-based acoustic modeling and global optimization.

Classic Workflow

The daily driver. Uses universal treble physics combined with real bass measurements. Fastest path to a high-quality tuning—ready to go in seconds.

Measure Workflow

The microscope. Full 61-note scan with high-resolution DSP, generating millions of data points for concert-level precision. Peak hypothesis consensus, heterodyne B measurement, and real-time inharmonicity monitoring.

Aural tuning tools—temperament sequences, interval checks, octave expansion guidance—are available from the Tools menu during any session. They complement both workflows rather than standing as a separate mode.

Read the technical whitepaper for a deep dive into the physics and algorithms.

10 Visualization Modes

Why settle for one generic display? 60 FPS WebGL graphics—the same tech powering modern games—for a display you actually want to look at.

Transparency in Tuning

More data means more informed decisions. See exactly what's happening—inharmonicity curves, octave stretch, temperament offsets, and predicted tuning work—all laid out in interactive charts.

Compatibility

Viper Tuner requires WebGL, WebAudio, and WebAssembly with SharedArrayBuffer support.

Tested & Working

  • iPhone 15/16 (iOS 17+, installed PWA)
  • Chrome on Android
  • Chrome on Windows/Mac/Linux
  • Firefox on desktop
  • Edge on Windows
  • Linux (Ubuntu)

Requirements

  • WebGL 2.0
  • WebAudio API
  • WebAssembly (WASM)
  • SharedArrayBuffer (HTTPS required)

Most modern browsers on devices from 2020+ support these features.
