About
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."
— JP Provencher, Founder · Pocket Roady · Plessisville, Quebec, CanadaKey Facts
The Tools
A professional 3-step intonation workflow for guitar. Uses the device microphone for real-time Hz detection, guides players through open string tuning and 12th fret capture, and delivers bridge-specific saddle adjustment instructions with custom SVG diagrams for each bridge type. Supports Standard and half-step down tuning.
pocketroady.com/intonator.html →Two tuners in one page. "Click to Pick" plays synthesized reference tones for ear training. "Perfect Pitch" uses microphone-based pitch detection, displaying live Hz readings against string targets with a needle meter. Calibrated against a hardware MT-40 tuner across multiple guitars. Supports 14 tuning modes.
pocketroady.com/online-guitar-tuner.html →A step-by-step interactive wizard that guides guitarists through a complete string change. Adapts to electric, acoustic, and classical guitars with bridge-specific instructions for Standard, Floyd Rose, and bridge-pin setups. Includes animated headstock diagrams, winding direction guides, and a classical guitar knot diagram.
pocketroady.com/guitar-string-change-assistant.html →A guided setup assistant that walks guitarists through the full setup chain in the correct order — starting at the neck and working down. Covers truss rod relief, action height, intonation, and more. Adapts to electric and acoustic guitars so players stop guessing which adjustment to make first.
pocketroady.com/guitar-setup-assistant.html →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.
pocketroady.com/neck-relief-helper-truss-rod-estimator.html →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. Offers two paths — a quick visual 3rd-fret test or a precise feeler gauge measurement — and gives a clear, calm result with a recommended next step.
pocketroady.com/nut-slot-helper.html →A guided 8-screen action checker that compares 12th fret measurements against practical target ranges based on guitar type and playing style. Supports electric, acoustic, and classical guitars in both inches and millimeters. Delivers a clear in-range, too-high, or too-low result with instrument-specific adjustment advice and a direct link to the full action guide.
pocketroady.com/guitar-action-calculator.html →A quick-reference setup tool that helps guitarists find a safe starting height for their pickups based on type and position. Supports humbuckers, passive single-coils, and active pickups across bridge, middle, and neck positions. Delivers bass-side and treble-side targets in inches or millimeters, with context-specific guidance and a distinct visual path for active pickups to prevent the most common spacing mistake.
pocketroady.com/pickup-height-helper.html →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.
pocketroady.com/fretboard-radius-matcher.html →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.
pocketroady.com/capo-intonation-helper.html →A physics-based tension calculator that delivers per-string tension and a balance chart for any combination of tuning, scale length, and gauge set. Built on D'Addario published unit weights and the standard tension formula — validated to within 0.1% of published figures. Includes 8 tuning presets, 7 gauge sets, 5 scale lengths plus custom input, lb/kg toggle, a live SVG bar chart, and a shareable URL. Replaces an earlier waitlist page for this tool.
pocketroady.com/string-tension-calculator.html →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.
pocketroady.com/fret-position-calculator.html →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.
pocketroady.com/multiscale-plotter.html →A drift-free browser metronome built on the Web Audio two-clock scheduler — mathematically incapable of tempo drift over long sessions. Features swing (0–100%, triplet feel at max), humanize (subtle timing and velocity randomization), per-beat accent control (tap dots to cycle accent/normal/muted), tap tempo, subdivisions (quarter through 16th notes), time signatures 2–7/4, named preset save/load via a corruption-safe localStorage layer, and spacebar start/stop. Pairs with the "How to Practice with a Metronome Without Sounding Robotic" guide.
pocketroady.com/micro-groove-metronome.html →An interactive fretboard visualizer that lights up any scale, mode, or arpeggio across the full neck — 6, 7, or 8 strings. Pick a root and a scale from 11 scales, 9 modes, and 10 arpeggio types; every note appears instantly with amber roots and teal tones. Tap any dot to hear the note via Web Audio. Toggle between note names, scale degrees, and no labels. Supports shareable URLs, flat/sharp toggle, and session persistence. Built on the shared fretboard.js rendering module.
pocketroady.com/scale-arpeggio-overlay.html →An interactive fretboard tool for learning the notes across the neck. Reference mode lights up every instance of any note; practice mode drills you with find-the-note and name-the-note challenges to build speed and recall. Supports 6, 7, and 8 strings, custom tunings, a naturals-only option, and string- or fret-range focus so you can learn the board in chunks. Tracks score and best streak via a corruption-safe localStorage layer, with shareable URL state. Built on the shared fretboard.js rendering module.
pocketroady.com/fretboard-note-finder.html →An interactive chord voicing explorer that maps open shapes, CAGED positions, barre chords, and triads across the full guitar neck. Pick any root and chord quality from 20 types — major, minor, dominant 7, suspended, diminished, augmented, add9, power chords, and more — and see every voicing instantly. Includes click-to-strum audio, note name and interval label toggles, flat/sharp toggle, difficulty scoping, shareable URL, and session persistence. Built on the shared fretboard.js and music-theory.js modules. Pairs with the "How to Understand Major and Minor Triads on Guitar" guide.
pocketroady.com/caged-navigator.html →A browser-based ear training tool with four Listen-and-Identify modes — Intervals, Notes, Chords, and Scale Degrees — each with Easy, Medium, and All difficulty levels. Includes a Pitch Matcher tab for singing or playing to match a target pitch, with a real-time needle display and lock-on detection. Features a sine/triangle tone toggle, shareable URL, and session persistence. Pairs with the "How to Train Your Ear for Pitch and Intervals" guide.
pocketroady.com/guitar-ear-trainer.html →A setup spec saver that keeps a private profile for every guitar you own. Record make and model, bridge type, scale length, fretboard radius, string gauge and brand, default tuning, and full setup measurements — action at the 12th, neck relief, nut and pickup heights — in millimetres or thousandths, alongside last-setup and string-change dates and freeform notes. Add, edit, and delete guitars; everything is stored privately in the browser via the shared storage.js and records.js modules. No account, nothing uploaded.
pocketroady.com/my-guitar-profiles.html →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.
pocketroady.com/gig-prep-checklist.html →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.
pocketroady.com/humidity-tracker.html →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.

Design & Experience
Pocket Roady is designed mobile-first with a clean, dark editorial aesthetic. Every tool and guide works seamlessly on phones, tablets, and desktops — no pinching, no horizontal scrolling, no compromises. The interface is intentionally minimal: players can focus on their guitar, not on learning a new app.
Privacy
Pocket Roady collects zero personal data. There are no user accounts, no cookies, no analytics trackers, and no third-party data sharing. Microphone access — used only by the tuning tools — is processed entirely on the user's device and never transmitted anywhere.
In an era of data-hungry freemium tools, Pocket Roady is a genuine exception: a free professional tool that respects the privacy of its users completely.
"We don't need your data to build great tools. Your guitar playing is your business — not ours."
— Pocket RoadyLogo & Mark
The Pocket Roady mark uses a "PR" monogram on a near-black background. The P is rendered in Pocket Teal (#03dac6) and the R in Roady Amber (#d4a853), separated by a teal underline. High-resolution logo files are available on request.
The mark works on dark backgrounds only. Do not place on light backgrounds without requesting an alternate version.
