Slowell is a modest home for the vinyl and CDs you collectβa place to track what you own, what you're still chasing, and everything in between. Built for people who put records on, not for the algorithm. No feeds, no scores, no reminders to open the app. Just your shelf, kept the way you'd keep it. What you can do: - Racks β organize your collection into custom shelves like Listened, Want to Listen, or whatever else you'd write on a real one. - Add albums β search by title or artist through the Discogs catalog, or scan a barcode with your camera. Both do the same thing: save you typing. - Details worth keeping β format (vinyl or CD), pressing and region, condition, date acquired, favorite track, ownership status. The record's story, next to the record. - Sign in with Apple, or don't β use Slowell as a guest, no account required. Your collection is yours either way. Made without noise: - No ads, no third-party trackers. - No streaming subscription required, no music-service login. - No engagement metrics, streaks, or badges chasing your attention. More is coming, in its own time. May you live with ease.
