String Ledger is the complete management app for musicians who take their instruments and gear seriously. Whether you own two guitars or a full touring rig, String Ledger keeps everything organized, documented, and protected. CATALOG YOUR COLLECTION Add every instrument and piece of gear you own. Log brand, model, nickname, year, serial number, color, country of origin, storage location, purchase price, and current value. Attach multiple photos to each instrument, pinch to zoom in on details, and save any photo back to your library. TRACK STRINGS & MAINTENANCE Never lose track of when you last changed your strings. Set a custom change interval, log every restring with brand and gauge, and receive push notification reminders when it's time — with a one-tap reorder link for your string brand. Double-neck guitars track each neck separately. Build a complete service history for every instrument. GEAR LIST Track all your gear too — amps, pedals, cables, microphones, audio interfaces, and more, with serial numbers, values, and service history. SETLISTS & GIG LISTS Build setlists and assign a specific guitar to each song, then print a stage-ready copy with or without the guitar names. Duplicate and rename setlists to reuse them. Build a gear list for every gig, and sort or reorder your setlists and gigs any way you like. INSURANCE-READY REPORTS Generate a professional PDF of your entire collection — serial numbers, prices, values, and service history — grouped by location. Export to a CSV spreadsheet too. Essential for insurance claims, theft recovery, or estate planning. BACKUP & RESTORE Export your whole collection, including photos, to a single backup file you can save to Files or iCloud Drive — then restore it anytime or move it to another device. BENEFICIARY RECORDS Assign a personal beneficiary to each instrument — who you want it to go to, their contact information, and any notes. WORKS YOUR WAY Choose from 40 currencies, search and sort your collection, and switch to a larger list view. PLANS The free plan supports up to 5 items. Collector unlocks unlimited instruments, gear, and reports. Pro adds Gigs and Setlists on top. Collector: $2.99/month or $24.99/year. Pro: $4.99/month or $39.99/year. Cancel anytime.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

String Ledger holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AllMyGuitars has 28 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of AllMyGuitars's written reviews are positive against 80% of String Ledger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AllMyGuitars ships an update every 3 weeks, String Ledger fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
