GrooveGauge: Stylus Care Log

Keep a dependable maintenance record for every turntable cartridge and stylus.

GrooveGauge is a focused, offline-first stylus hours tracker and care log. Add the starting hours you already know, time a listening session or enter one manually, then keep cleaning and inspection history together with total use.

EVERY FEATURE IS FREE

There are no paid downloads, purchases, subscriptions, trials or paywalls. Advertising supports the app. Consent is requested where required before Google Mobile Ads starts, ads do not gate any core feature, and the optional rewarded ad changes only a temporary cosmetic card style.

GrooveGauge is a personal recordkeeping tool. A service target or reminder does not assess stylus condition, replace professional inspection or override the cartridge maker’s care and replacement guidance.
