Music Tools

A free suite of in-browser music and sound tools. Play a piano, keep time, tune your guitar, find chords, build beats, generate tones or white noise — all running on your own device with the Web Audio API. No sign-up, nothing to install.

Play & practice

Instruments and practice tools for making and learning music.

Sound & focus

Generate sound to sleep, concentrate or test your audio.

Make and shape sound, right in your browser

Every tool here runs on the Web Audio API — the sound is synthesised live on your device, so there is nothing to download, no account to create and nothing to upload. Open the Online Piano and play with your keyboard, lock in your timing with the Metronome, get in tune with the Guitar Tuner, work out voicings with the Chord Finder, and program a groove on the Drum Machine. For sound rather than songs, the White Noise Machine helps you sleep or focus and the Tone Generator plays a precise test frequency. Need to work with audio files instead — convert or trim a recording? Head to the Audio Tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the music tools free?

Yes — every music tool here is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and nothing to install. They run entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API, so the sound is generated on your device and nothing you play is uploaded. After the page loads they work offline. There is no paid tier, no trial and no feature held back behind a sign-up, because the tools run entirely on your own device and cost nothing to serve. Every tool in the suite is built on the Web Audio API, so the sound is generated locally rather than streamed, and nothing you play is uploaded.

Do I need to install anything or grant permissions?

No installation is needed — just open a tool and start. Most tools need no permissions at all. The exceptions are the four tuners (guitar, bass, ukulele and violin) and the Vocal Range Test, which ask to use your microphone so they can hear the pitch; that audio is analysed on your device and never recorded or uploaded, and each tuner also lets you tune by ear with reference tones without a microphone.

Which tool should I use?

Which music tool you want depends on the job: play melodies and chords with the Online Piano, keep steady time with the Metronome, tune your guitar with the Guitar Tuner, look up chord notes with the Chord Finder, and build beats with the Drum Machine. For sound rather than music, the White Noise Machine helps you sleep or focus and the Tone Generator plays a precise frequency. The BPM Counter finds a song's tempo by tapping along.

Do they work on phones and tablets?

Yes — every music tool works in a modern mobile browser with touch support — you can tap piano keys, toggle sequencer steps and use the controls with your finger. Because of how mobile browsers handle audio, tap the screen once to start sound. Every tool is laid out responsively and the controls are sized for touch, so a phone or tablet works the same way a desktop does. One difference worth knowing: mobile browsers will not produce sound until you interact with the page, so tap the screen once before pressing play. The microphone tools also need you to grant permission each time on iOS.
