At the moment I've found a stack of index cards, with one task or feature per card, works best for me. You can sort through and prioritise, and write more detailed notes on the back. Also helps with motivation as the 'Done' pile builds up.

Yes there is a lot of good competition already established in the tuner app area already, so its a daunting market to enter.

A lot of time was spent getting the pitch detection algorithm just right so you get a accurate and stable reading but get it quickly. This was more challenging that I first thought it would be.

Also I felt it would be good to be able to use the pitch pipe without having to keep shifting back and forth between the instrument and guitar for each string so I added an automatic mode where it plays the nearest note back based on the one you played.

So, hopefully this app will prove a worthy contender
