String Life Tracker

Never play dead strings again.

Tell it roughly how much you play, and it tracks how much life your strings have left — no logging every session. The more you use it, the more it learns your real change cadence.

Roady Hint
Strings don't die all at once — they fade. Tone goes dull, tuning gets twitchy, and one day a wound string lets go mid-song. This keeps an eye on the slow decline so you can change them on your schedule, not the string's. It blends the days a set has been on with how much you actually play, so a daily player and a weekend strummer get honest, different answers.
Which guitar
What kills strings fastest
Sweat and skin oils are the big one — they corrode windings from the inside, which is why some players kill a set in a week. Playing time wears the contact points flat. Humidity and grime speed it all up. Coated strings shrug off a lot of this and can last several times longer. A quick wipe-down after every session is the cheapest way to stretch a set.

Questions, answered

How does it know when my strings are worn?

It blends two clocks — the days since you put the strings on (they oxidise even in the case) and your playing time. You set a typical play rate once and it accrues hours automatically. Coated strings get a longer life, and a "hard on strings" setting accounts for sweaty or acidic hands. Whichever clock is more used up drives the estimate.

Do I have to log every practice session?

No. You pick a typical play rate once — roughly how much you play this guitar — and it estimates wear automatically as the days pass. There are optional buttons to add an extra session on top, but you never have to log anything day to day.

Does it learn my habits?

Yes. Each time you log a change it records how long that set actually lasted, in days and hours. After a couple of changes it stops using generic numbers and predicts from your own history, so the estimate matches how you really play.

Does it track each guitar separately?

Yes — a separate set and history per guitar, pulling your guitars from My Guitar Profiles. No profiles saved? It works with a single default guitar. Everything stays private in your browser, no account.
