Connect Discogs, identify what's spinning, and create AI-curated vinyl sessions from the records you already own. Analog connects to your Discogs collection, recognizes what's playing on your turntable, and helps you choose the perfect record for the moment. Whether you're rediscovering old favorites or deciding what to play next, Analog makes your collection easier to enjoy. KNOW WHAT'S SPINNING Drop the needle and Analog identifies the record side in real time. See the tracklist, follow what's playing, and know when it's time to flip. No more guessing which pressing, side, or track you're on. Analog listens along with you and keeps the session moving. CARRY YOUR COLLECTION Your full Discogs collection, organized on your iPhone and iPad. Search your records, browse by artist, sort by recent additions, and favorite the albums you keep coming back to. Whether you're standing in front of your shelves or digging through your collection from the couch, Analog makes your records easier to explore. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH Analog meets you where you are on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. A Home Screen widget keeps the record currently spinning in view, with what's up next during a session. On Apple Watch, see the side you're playing and the time left at a glance, identify a record from your wrist even with your iPhone in another room, and see what to play next: your session's next record, or Analog's picks from your collection. A complication keeps the side and its countdown on your watch face. Identify a record from the Action Button, Control Center, or a long-press of the app icon — without opening the app first. Tap the Lock Screen card or the Dynamic Island to jump straight to what's playing. Or just ask Siri, "What's playing on Analog?" CURATE LISTENING SESSIONS WITH ANALOG STUDIO With Analog Studio, your collection becomes the starting point for AI-curated vinyl sessions. Choose a mood, describe the moment, or start with a few records you already want to hear. Analog uses AI to build a complete listening session from the records you own — picking the right albums, the right sides, and the right flow. A slow Sunday morning. Dinner with friends. A late-night listen. A focused work session. Analog turns your shelf into a set that fits the moment. Every session is designed around the way vinyl is actually played: record by record, side by side, with your turntable at the center. ANALOG STUDIO SUBSCRIPTION Analog Studio is an optional subscription that unlocks unlimited AI-generated sessions and saved sets. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial. — Support: hello@analogapp.co Terms of Use: https://analogapp.co/terms Privacy Policy: https://analogapp.co/privacy
