## What is Crate?

Crate is a fast, simple, private home for your records.

FAST
Tap +, point the camera, done. Scan the barcode on the back, or snap the front of the sleeve and Crate names the album in seconds, even older records with no barcode. The camera stays open after each one, so you can work through a whole stack in one go.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-in. No ads, no tracking, no analytics. Your collection lives on your iPhone, not on a server of ours. A cover photo is only sent to be matched if you say so, and our server keeps nothing.

SIMPLE
One button adds a record: Scan Barcode, Scan Cover, or Search. Crate shows you the match and the pressing, and one tap puts it in your crate. No forms, unless you want to add notes.

BEAUTIFUL
Your covers, big and front and center, in a warm, dark grid that feels like flipping through your shelf. Open a record to see its sleeve and disc, with the tracklist laid out side by side.

EVERYTHING A COLLECTOR NEEDS
• Tracklists by side, with running times
• Label, catalog number, year, country, format, and your own notes
• Your own photo as a record's cover, cropped square
• A duplicate check when you scan, search, or add, so you don't buy the same record twice
• Import your Discogs collection by username or from an export file
• Sort by recently added, artist, title, or year

Free, with no in-app purchases.
