Pocket Roady is a free, browser-based platform offering professional guitar tools for every player — from beginners tuning their first string to experienced guitarists dialing in their intonation. No downloads, no account, no barrier to entry.

The platform was built on a simple belief: the precision tools that a professional guitar tech uses shouldn't be locked behind expensive hardware or technical expertise. Every guitarist deserves access to the same quality of setup, regardless of their skill level or budget.

Pocket Roady currently offers a professional intonation assistant supporting four bridge types, a calibrated online guitar tuner with fourteen tuning modes, a step-by-step guitar string change assistant, a guided guitar setup assistant that walks players through the full setup chain in the right order, a neck relief helper and truss rod estimator, a nut slot helper that checks first-fret clearance with or without a feeler gauge, and a growing library of in-depth guides covering intonation, bridge types, string care, and more.

"Guitar maintenance shouldn't require a tech degree. We build the precision tools every guitarist needs — and we give them away for free."

Tool 05
Neck Relief Helper & Truss Rod Estimator

A calm, guided tool that walks guitarists through checking neck relief in about 2 minutes. Takes the guitar type, string gauge, and tuning into account, then reads the gap at the 7th or 8th fret and gives a clear directional recommendation — including an animated CW/CCW indicator — so players know exactly which way to turn the truss rod.

Nut Slot Helper

A guided nut height checker that helps guitarists diagnose first-fret stiffness and open-string buzz in about 2 minutes. Supports electric, acoustic, and classical guitars with guitar-specific target clearances.

A live-calculating setup tool that takes a fretboard radius and bridge string spread and returns per-string saddle height offsets so the action follows the curve of the board. Includes an SVG arc visualization, both mm and inch outputs, shareable URL state, and a fixed-bridge caveat for Tune-O-Matic owners. Covers all common radii from 7.25″ vintage Fender to 16″ modern flat boards, with custom input support.

Capo Intonation Helper

A lightweight diagnostic tool that helps guitarists fix capo-related tuning problems without a tuner. The user selects their capo type, fret position, and taps the symptom they're hearing — sharp notes, buzzing, or sour chords — and receives one clear mechanical correction: move closer to the fret, reduce pressure, or re-seat the capo straight. Includes capo-type-specific tips for spring, adjustable, and elastic capos.

A precision fret-spacing calculator built on exact equal-temperament math — no rounded approximations. Enter any scale length and get nut-to-fret distances, fret-to-fret spacing, and remaining string length to the bridge for every fret, in inches or millimeters. Includes a to-scale SVG fretboard diagram with inlay dots, a teal 12th-fret marker, and a shareable URL. Validated: fret 12 lands at exactly L/2, fret 24 at exactly 3L/4. Core geometry reused by the Multi-Scale Plotter via the shared guitar-math.js module.

A fan-fret geometry visualizer and tension reference for multi-scale guitar design. Set bass and treble scale lengths, choose a perpendicular fret, and see an accurate to-scale SVG fan plot with angled fret lines, inlay dots, and string lines. Supports 6, 7, and 8-string configurations. The per-string tension readout — powered by the same validated engine as the String Tension Calculator — shows the tension balance the design produces, string by string. The only tool of its kind that draws the fan and shows why it works. Built on guitar-math.js, the shared math module.

Gig Prep Checklist

A reusable packing checklist for live shows. Starts with a curated list across six categories — guitars and hardware, strings and spares, cables and power, amp and pedalboard, tools and fixes, personal and admin — with a running "packed" count as you tick items off. Players can add their own gear, remove what they don't need, save their setup and reload it, or restore the original list anytime. Pick a show date and print a clean load-in sheet. Everything is stored privately in the browser via the shared storage.js module. No account, nothing uploaded.

Humidity Tracker

A guitar care tool for tracking room humidity over time. Players log a reading off any hygrometer and see at a glance whether they're in the safe 45–55% zone, with a colour-coded gauge and plain-language guidance (humidify, hold, or dehumidify). A hand-drawn trend chart shades the ideal band so seasonal drift — especially winter heating drying a room out — is easy to spot before it cracks a top. Readings can be tagged to individual guitars saved in My Guitar Profiles, and exported to a file for backup. Stored privately in the browser via the shared storage.js module. No account, nothing uploaded.

Tool 22
String Life Tracker

A companion for string maintenance that tracks how long a set has been on the guitar. Players log the install date, brand, and gauge, and the tracker shows at a glance how much life is likely left before tone goes dull — so restringing is based on real usage instead of guesswork. Readings can be tied to individual guitars saved in My Guitar Profiles. Stored privately in the browser via the shared storage.js module. No account, nothing uploaded.
