guitar tuner

String adjustment device

A guitar tuner is a device or app that helps tune a guitar by detecting the pitch of each string and indicating whether it's too high, too low, or correct.

Electronic tuners display this visually, often with a needle or LED lights.

Clip-on tuners attach to the headstock and sense vibrations directly: I keep a guitar tuner in my case.
