About VinylCrate

VinylCrate is the ultimate companion app for vinyl record collectors. We believe that managing your record collection should be as enjoyable as listening to it.

Our Mission

We’re building VinylCrate to solve a problem every vinyl collector faces: keeping track of a growing collection. Whether you have 50 records or 5,000, VinylCrate helps you:

Catalog everything with barcode scanning and Discogs integration
Stay organized with custom crates and smart sorting
Discover insights about your collection’s value and growth
Connect to the world’s largest music database

Built for Collectors, by Collectors

VinylCrate isn’t just another database app. It’s designed specifically for the vinyl experience:

Beautiful album artwork displayed prominently, just like your shelves
Pressing details that matter to collectors—label, catalog number, format, country
Warm, analog-inspired design that complements the vinyl aesthetic
Privacy-first approach because your collection is your business

Native iOS Experience

VinylCrate is built with Swift and SwiftUI, taking full advantage of Apple’s latest technologies:

SwiftData for fast, reliable local storage
VisionKit for accurate barcode scanning
Swift Charts for beautiful collection analytics
Native interfaces for iPhone and iPad

Privacy First

Your collection data stays on your device. VinylCrate only connects to external services when you explicitly choose to:

Sync with your Discogs account
Search for new releases
Fetch album details and artwork

We don’t track your listening habits, analyze your collection, or sell your data. Your vinyl collection is yours.

The Discogs Connection

VinylCrate integrates with Discogs, the world’s largest music database:

60+ million releases in the database
Detailed pressing information for collectors
Community-driven data that’s constantly improving
