GrooveGauge: Stylus Care Log

About

Know how much use each turntable stylus has had and keep its care history close at hand. GrooveGauge is an offline-first stylus and cartridge log. Create a profile with optional starting hours, time a listening session or add one manually, and build a clear record of cleaning, inspection, alignment and replacement events. TRACK USE • Keep separate profiles for each cartridge or stylus • Start with the hours you already know • Time listening sessions or enter past sessions manually • Review hours and care events in one local history PLAN CARE YOUR WAY • Set your own cleaning, inspection and replacement hour targets • Schedule an optional local care reminder • Search records and review progress at a glance • Keep manufacturer guidance alongside your own observations KEEP YOUR RECORDS PORTABLE • Export history as CSV • Create a restorable JSON backup • Restore a validated backup when you choose • Use every core feature without an account, catalogue or cloud service Everything you enter is stored on your device unless you explicitly export it. Optional reminders are scheduled locally. Core logging works offline; a network connection is used only for consent and advertising services. Every feature is free. There are no paid downloads, purchases, subscriptions, trials or paywalls. GrooveGauge is supported by carefully placed advertising, and an optional rewarded ad changes only a temporary cosmetic card style. Service targets are personal recordkeeping aids, not manufacturer guidance or a guarantee of stylus condition. Follow the cartridge maker’s instructions and handle equipment safely.
