Routines rebuilt, fairer scoring

Routines were rebuilt around what you already have in the app: pick the tuner, the metronome, the tone generator, a note sequence or a free moment for each phase, and end it after minutes, passes or bars — or when you move on. At the end you see how each phase went, and next time what you did last time. Scoring became proportional: full credit inside your tolerance, partial credit just outside it, so a note a hair off no longer counts as a miss. The tuner gained the tone orbit: the twelve notes around a ring, one octave per circle, so you see at a glance which ones drift and which way. The tolerance levels are now named for their margin — Wide, Medium, Fine and Minimal (±15, ±10, ±5 and ±2 cents) — the reference A reaches from 400 to 470 Hz, Siri can open the tuner, the metronome or a routine, and a recording or a before-and-after can be shared as an image. iCloud sync now runs on CloudKit and keeps sequences, routines, temperaments, saved tunings, presets and recordings in step across iPhone and iPad — the audio itself stays with you.

In beta with musicians — and what comes next

Tonagi is in the hands of a group of musicians through TestFlight, and their sessions are shaping the last stretch before the App Store. Since mid-August the free tier is wider: Sequences and Routines are no longer Premium-only — three sequences of up to eight steps and three routines of three phases are free, forever, tutorials included; Premium lifts the limits. The community library opened with curated material: the first sequences from Carl Flesch's Scale System, ready to download and play along with. Next: the App Store launch this autumn, and more curated material in the library.

Search-first library, batch uploads

The library now opens with a single search box — type a composer, a key or an instrument and results appear as you type. Every item page shows what's inside the file before you download it: steps, notes, range, tuning systems. Contributors can upload a whole batch that shares one context, each file validated and reviewed individually. Metronome presets left the library — they take seconds to make in the app, and the shelf space belongs to material that travels: sequences, routines and temperaments.

The community library is ready for launch

Publishing is live behind review: sign in with a one-time email link, upload a sequence, routine or temperament, and it appears in the library once approved. Likes help the best material surface. Browsing and downloading stay open to everyone, no account needed.

tonagi.app is live

The site is up: the app, the concept, the name, and a community library in pre-launch — with static pages for every future item, and downloads that open straight in Tonagi.

Release notes for the app itself ship with each App Store update.
