## What is FretTools?

FretTools
Gear Tracker. String Diagnostics. Tuner. Chord Library.

GEAR TRACKER
Your gear documented and accessible when it matters.

• Track guitars, basses, amps, pedals, and more
• Store serial numbers, specs, purchase details, values, and notes
• Attach photos to each item
• Record string changes with brand, model, gauge, and date
• Log maintenance, repairs, setups, and modifications
• Export a formatted PDF with gear details for insurance or resale

STRING DIAGNOSTICS
Know what's happening inside your strings, not just what note they're on.

FretTools analyzes six harmonics in real time using phase-shift detection — the same moment you'd normally just tune to also tells you whether a string is going dead, sitting out of intonation, or due for a change.

• String Health evaluates tuning stability and harmonic agreement
• Intonation analysis helps reveal possible setup inconsistencies
• Harmonic Lanes for detailed pitch analysis
• Save diagnostic history to a selected instrument
• Compare readings across the life of the current string set
• Start a new session when you log a string change

String Diagnostics is a Pro feature. It runs on the same pitch engine as the free tuner below, but it's a separate capability — most tuners tell you a note. None of them tell you your string is dying.

String Diagnostics provide guidance and do not replace a full instrument inspection or professional setup.

TUNER — FREE. ALWAYS.
Responsive, accurate tuning for guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, violin, and more.
