About

StringKeeper

Features
Read full description

Never wonder when you last changed your strings again. StringKeeper helps guitarists track string installations across every guitar in their collection, so your instrument always sounds its best. Track Every Guitar: Add all your guitars with photos, names, and notes. See at a glance which ones are due for a string change and which were recently restrung. Log String Changes: Record the string brand, gauge, and date every time you restring. StringKeeper tracks your history so you can see what worked and what didn't. Get Reminded: Set a reminder after a string change and StringKeeper will notify you when it's time to restring β€” no more playing on dead strings. Log Play Sessions & Maintenance: Track how often you play each guitar and log maintenance records to keep a full history of each instrument. If you notice a guitar has dead strings you can set a "Needs string change" flag which will cause an alert icon to appear next to the guitar. Pick a Guitar to Play: Not sure which guitar to pick up tonight? Use the slot machine to let StringKeeper choose for you.

Turn anyone, anything, or any moment into a song. Tell Melomi about a person, memory, inside joke, feeling, pet, place, or idea. Speak, type, or ask Siri. Melomi turns it into a full song with lyrics, vocals, and artwork. MAKE A SONG FROM ALMOST ANYTHING Write one sentence or tell the whole story. Choose a Quick hit when you want it fast or a Full song when you want more. Pick the genre and vocals, or let Melomi help shape the idea. HEAR IT BEFORE YOU SHARE IT Play the finished song first. Read the timed lyrics, remake it if needed, keep it private, or send it when it feels right. MAKE THEM LAUGH Turn an inside joke, harmless prank, embarrassing habit, coworker story, or pet disaster into a funny song. Text the private link, play it in person, or drop it in the group chat and catch the reaction. MAKE IT PERSONAL Create a birthday surprise, wedding song, anniversary memory, apology, love song, tribute, joke, or something nobody else would think to make. Every song can become a private link that plays in a browser. The other person does not need Melomi or an account to listen. ROAST. RAP. RIZZ. Open a private room and trade songs with someone. Roast a friend, answer with a rap, or make a move with a song. Each person takes a turn. Songs can receive a heart, but nothing is scored and nobody is crowned. ASK SIRI After opening Melomi once, say, β€œHey Siri, make a song in Melomi.” Siri asks what the song is about, the genre, the vocals, and whether you want a Quick hit or Full song. KEEP EVERY SONG Your library keeps the songs you create and receive together. Follow the timed lyrics, open the Certificate of Creation, download MP3 or WAV, or turn a song into a shareable video.
