Your playing

The tuner listens through your microphone using the Web Audio API inside your browser. The audio is analyzed on your device, frame by frame, and discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing is stored, and nothing is transmitted. This site is static files; there is no server capable of receiving audio even if we wanted it.

On the phone, full stop

A service worker keeps a copy of the site itself for offline use. Your instrument, tuning, and A4 setting live in the page URL (that's what makes links shareable) — in your address bar, nowhere else. No cookies, no localStorage profiles.

The numbers we see

Aggregate, visit counting that identifies nobody. No cookies, no fingerprinting, no identifiers. We know a page was viewed; we can't know by whom.

Who else touches anything

Type comes from Fontshare's CDN (which sees the font request, IP included, as CDNs do); the static files themselves are served by Cloudflare Pages with routine access logs. Neither receives audio or tuning data — it never leaves your device.

About the mic prompt

Mic access is requested only when you press start, used only while tuning, and released when you stop. Revoke it any time from the padlock menu; the tuner detects that and stops cleanly.
