A simple utility for staying in tune

This is the software publishers description:
LINGOT is a musical instrument tuner. It's accurate, easy to use, and highly
configurable. Originally conceived to tune electric guitars, its configurability
gives it a more general character.
It looks like an analogic tuner, with a gauge indicating the relative shift
to a certain note --found automatically as the closest note to the estimated
frequency--, indicating that note and its frequency.
The note will be found automatically, since the program hasn't any manual
function mode (indicating the note to tune manually), for maintaining its
general purpose.
We recommend using the tuner in conjunction with a sound mixer for selecting
the desired recording source and the signal recording levels.
Features:
- Accurate.
- Easy to use. Just plug in your instrument and run tuner.
- Highly configurable via GUI. It's possible to change any parameter while the
program is running, without editing any file.
- It works in an automatic way. It isn't necessary specify the note to tune;
the program guesses it.
- It's free software. It has GPL license.
- Tuning other instruments than guitars is possible. Since this program
guesses the note you are playing, it can be used to tune a piano, a bass, a
violin, etc.
