Deep Groove is the smartest way to catalogue your vinyl record collection. Point your camera at a record sleeve and let AI identify it instantly — or scan the barcode for immediate, precise results. Deep Groove searches Discogs automatically to fill in the artist, album, year, genre, label, and tracklist, so you spend less time typing and more time listening. KEY FEATURES • AI Record Identification — Photograph any album cover and Claude AI identifies it for you, even without a barcode. • Barcode Scanning — Scan EAN-13 and UPC barcodes for instant, accurate Discogs lookups. • Full Discogs Metadata — Automatically fetches artist, title, release year, genre, label, country, tracklist, and cover artwork. • Collection Management — Add, edit, and remove records. Track condition (Mint through Poor), personal notes, and purchase price. • Filter & Sort — Browse your collection by genre, condition, decade, or artist. Full-text search across all fields. • Collection Statistics — See your top artists, genre and decade breakdowns, condition distribution, and estimated collection value. • Wishlist — Keep a wishlist of records you're hunting for, with the same Discogs-powered search. • iCloud Sync — Your collection syncs privately across all your iPhones via iCloud. • Share — Share any record's details via the iOS share sheet. WHAT YOU NEED To use AI identification, you'll need an Anthropic API key (anthropic.com) — the key itself is free, but Anthropic charges per use and requires a small credit purchase to get started. To search Discogs, you'll need a free Discogs developer token (discogs.com). Both are entered in the app's Settings tab and stored only on your device. PRIVACY Deep Groove collects no personal data and sends nothing to the developer. Your collection lives on your device and in your private iCloud account.
