Welcome to SnapSleeve, the ultimate digital companion for your physical music collection. Whether you have ten records or ten thousand, SnapSleeve makes cataloguing your vinyl, CD, and cassette library incredibly fast, beautifully visual, and deeply organised. We believe that basic cataloguing should not be locked behind a subscription. SnapSleeve is proudly and permanently free for manual collection management. You can add an unlimited number of albums, use your camera to snap custom cover art, and build your own bespoke folders completely free of charge. Want to speed up your workflow? For power collectors, our intelligent scanning tools act as your personal music archivist. Using state-of-the-art AI vision, SnapSleeve can scan your cover art, automatically square up the image, fix your capitalisation, find the release year, identify physical pressing details, and determine the genre in seconds. Core Features: * Always-Free Manual Cataloguing: Add unlimited records, CDs, and tapes. Take custom cover photos and build your digital library without ever hitting a paywall. * Smart AI Camera & Re-Cropping (Premium): Take a picture of an album, and our AI perfectly crops the sleeve, correcting the perspective automatically. Got an older, wonky scan? Use "Smart Re-Crop Existing" to square it up instantly with a bulletproof Undo safety net! * Apple Watch Companion: Take your entire music collection crate-digging. Browse your folders, check if you already own an album, and view your artwork right from your wrist. * Streamlined Batch Scanning: Scanning a massive stack? SnapSleeve now remembers your photo source choice during a session, skipping repetitive menus to keep your camera ready for the next album instantly. * Precise Tracklists (Premium): Connect directly to the industry's deepest music database to instantly pull the exact A-side and B-side tracks for your specific pressing. * Smart Duplicate Alerts: Never double-buy again.

Tap the dice to let SnapSleeve pick a random album from your shelf. * UI Refinements & Snappy Haptics: Enjoy a decluttered toolbar, a beautiful unified brand theme, and high-performance library scrolling with optimised haptic feedback that never lags while you type. * Privacy First: Lock your entire collection behind Face ID or Touch ID, ensuring your personal library stays strictly private. * Export & Backup Anywhere: Instantly export your collection to a CSV file for spreadsheets, or run a full database backup—including high-resolution photos—to keep your archive completely secure.
