My Guitar Log

Features
Read full description

My Guitar Log keeps every guitar in your collection gig-ready. Track string changes, battery swaps, and shows for each instrument, then get reminded before strings go dead or active pickups quit on stage. Built for working musicians who own more than one guitar and are tired of guessing how old those strings really are. FEATURES • Per-guitar logbook — Add every guitar with brand, model, default string brand and gauge, and a photo. Each one keeps its own history. • String change tracking — Log every restring with date, brand, and gauge. See at a glance how long your current strings have been on. • Battery reminders — For guitars with active pickups or a preamp, track battery changes so you never get a dead signal mid-set. • Show log — Record gigs per guitar with venue and set length. Know which instrument has the most stage miles. • Smart reminders — Set custom thresholds by days or number of shows. Get nudged before strings or batteries are overdue. Set any reminder to zero to turn it off. • Cloud sync — Sign in and your collection syncs across devices. Works offline and reconciles automatically when you're back online. • Sign in your way — Google, Apple, or email link. Whether you've got one workhorse or a wall full of them, My Guitar Log takes the guesswork out of maintenance so your gear sounds its best every time you plug in.
