Strobe-grade precision
A five-band strobe display that slows and locks still as you come into tune, with readings to a tenth of a cent. On reference tones it is accurate to within half a cent.

Questions
What do I need?
A modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari) and a microphone. Your device's built-in mic works; a clip-on pickup or audio interface gives the cleanest signal in a noisy room.
What happens when the free trial ends?
Nothing is charged: there's no card on file. The tuner locks until you choose a plan, and your settings are kept.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes. Sign in on as many devices as you like. Standard tunes on one device at a time; Pro on up to three at once.
How do I sign in?
Enter your email and we send a 6-digit code: no password to remember. If it doesn't arrive, check your junk or spam folder for an email from tuner@selfeguitars.co.uk.
Does it work offline?
Not yet. TrueStrobe needs an internet connection to sign in and to keep your session active.
What does Lifetime mean?
Lifetime means the life of TrueStrobe. One payment of £29.99 gives you Pro, including every future update to Pro, on up to 3 devices at once, for as long as we maintain and support the tuner. There's nothing to renew or cancel. If we ever decide to retire TrueStrobe, we'll email lifetime customers at least 12 months before it closes. If you already pay yearly, buying Lifetime stops your yearly plan renewing.
Can I get a refund?
Lifetime comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Within 14 days of buying, open the tuner, select the Pro · Lifetime badge at the top and choose Request a refund: the full £29.99 goes straight back, no questions asked (it usually reaches your account within 5 to 10 working days). Lifetime ends when it's refunded. Yearly plans aren't refundable, so please use the free 14-day trial to make sure TrueStrobe works for you first; you can cancel a yearly plan at any time and keep access until the end of the year you've paid for. The full details are in our Terms.
How do I cancel?
Any time, from Manage subscription in the tuner. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
