What's New in Spindle

1.1.9

November 7, 2026

longer counts the time after the music stopped toward your needle wear and listening time. Now Playing shows when the album runs out ("Auto-ends around 9:42") with a switch to turn it off, and the same time appears in the mini player, the lock screen, and the Dynamic Island. Next time you open the app, a spin that has run out is closed at the end of the record and the wrap-up sheet opens. If you tap End late, the wrap-up tells you the spin was ended at the album's length, and one tap puts your real time back. Fix the length yourself. Track times on Discogs aren't always right, so you can nudge a record's length 5 minutes shorter or longer, pick a length, or set one for records that have no track times. Spindle remembers it for that record. Home no longer opens on the same album every time. The featured album now changes between launches and favors records that have been resting. Logging a past spin is easier: when you change the Started time, the Ended time moves with it.

I love tracking stats & it has always bugged me that I can’t track my spins easily! Thank goodness for spindle

Great start, tons of potential

I’m loving this app! Just what I was looking for. The developer is super responsive and helpful. They keep adding new and cool features. Well worth having on your device!

letterboxd for records?

i love this app so much, i have been looking for a place to log my vinyl listening easily, and this is the place!! so user friendly, easy to connect to discogs, and there’s fun challenges! i love the stats section! and creators or developers if you see this, i think it would be fun to add a section where each user can put their top 5 albums! overall great app!

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words. Your idea was too good to sit on. The next update adds On Display, a shelf at the top of your profile where you can put up to 5 records face out and rotate them whenever you want. No rankings, just whatever you want on the wall this month.

Exceptional App

I was just looking for an app to track the life of my stylus, but this app is better than anything I was imagining. Connecting a Discogs account lets you easily pick a disc(and side(s)) to track while it plays. On iPhone, at least, it also keeps the timer on the home menu, letting you pause or stop it just as easily.
Functionally this app is very nice, but there are also some extra features, like social events. If you are looking for a usable stylus tracker, or just something to log records played, this app will vastly exceed your expectations.
