Tune Tangler

Enjoy your music — record, refine, remix, share.
Tune Tangler is a simple grid for short musical ideas. Record with the built-in microphone or USB-connected audio hardware. You can also load a file from the device.

Play tracks together so they stay in time, or run them independently. Use looping or a single pass — whatever you need. All recordings and
settings are kept after you close the app. You can share tracks or save the whole project as a ZIP file.

NAVIGATION

The top bar shows the app title: the logo on the left opens the side menu; on the right, start/stop all tracks and a “⋮” menu for actions
for the whole grid at once — ZIP project export/import, shared playback tweaks, trim resets, and More settings… (which also opens the side menu).
The side menu lists Help, Recording, Tracks & Grid (including keyboard shortcut presets), Screen, Permissions, the maintenance area, and
profiles at the bottom.

WORKING THE GRID

Each colored block is a quick control: tap it, or — with a keyboard connected — press the matching shortcut key. Want sliders and finer
options? Hold the block — or, with an external keyboard connected, press your shortcut key together with Ctrl. Set each track’s shortcut in its
details.
Each grid row also has start/stop for that row and a “⋮” menu with bulk actions for every track in that row (playback mode, level,
balance, speed, trim resets, delete that row’s recordings).
In the side menu, pick a preset shortcut map for your keyboard: standard (PC-style, flexible grid) or the 24-key 6×4 layout.

INSIDE A TRACK

Trim the start and end, choose loop or single pass, set level and left/right balance, change playback speed, name the track, and assign a
shortcut. Move the track on the grid, replace the audio with another file, share a recording, or clear the slot.

ICONS ON THE BLOCK

Icons show shortcuts, audio source, level, balance, trim, and loop mode. Open Help from the side menu for a full legend.

RECORDING QUALITY

Settings include file format, time resolution, bit rate (bitrate), mono or stereo, and — when the device supports it — automatic level
control (AGC), less room echo, and quieter background noise.

SETTINGS PROFILES

Profiles store full setups: recording options plus language, light or dark theme, accent color, and keeping the screen on. Save several
profiles, switch with a tap, remove one with a long press.

PROJECT ZIP EXPORT

One ZIP file holds the grid layout, every track’s settings, and the audio, with a short integrity check and a small summary (version,
export time, grid size, and recording statistics). Import shows a preview and a warning before overwriting. The app rejects damaged or incomplete files.

PERMISSIONS

Microphone (and USB audio when the OS allows), storage for imports and exports, and optional Android notifications if you record while the
app is in the background.

For a fuller guide to the icons and options, open Help in the side menu.

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
