Spinstack is the vinyl app that knows the actual condition of every record you own. A vinyl collection is not a list. It is a self-portrait in twelve-inch resolution. Every record on your shelf is something you chose. Every spin is something you came back to. Every scratch has a story. The collection knows things about you that you forgot. Spinstack gives the shelf a voice. It sees the records. It reads the grooves. It hears the spins. It remembers the nights. And it can talk back about all of it in your phone's own voice, on-device. No cloud. No servers. No compromise. RECORD CONDITION Grade media and sleeve on every record, see the whole collection's health, and export a free Condition Receipt or a Collection Appraisal PDF that values every graded record at its own condition. The Condition Card draws every detected scratch where it sits in the grooves, proof you can send with a listing. Groove Vision. On iPhone Pro and iPad Pro with LiDAR, scan the playable surface in four close-up quadrants. LiDAR reads the depth of every scratch, the camera reads the texture, and the worst quadrant sets the estimate, because the needle hits every scratch. You decide the grade. Scratch Detection. Start a Silent Session, drop the needle, and Spinstack listens through the microphone for surface scratches, mapping where they sit, track by track. On-device and opt-in. Tap the sleeve. Stick an NFC sticker on a copy and one tap opens the Tap Card: pressing, grades, value, play history and its scratch map, instantly and offline. ON YOUR DEVICE Ask Your Collection. Ask your shelves anything, in the app or from Siri. It answers from your actual records, not a guess, and shows what it checked under every answer. AI Liner Notes. Apple's on-device language model, on by default where Apple Intelligence is available, writes personalized text across nineteen surfaces, from a Vinyl DNA narrative to session recaps and your monthly Spin Report. It runs entirely on your device. THE REST OF THE SHELF At the record store. Partner stores carry a counter card; scan it and Spinstack's App Clip identifies any pressing in the bins, no install, no account. A wishlist hit rises out of a crate in 3D. Crews. A private circle of up to eight collectors. One shared feed, a crate you build and vote on together, a weekly Crew Spin, and a Stamp Book of finished weeks. Invite-only, nothing public. Spin Reports. Your month and year in vinyl, built live from your spin log around your own artwork, with a shareable card. Wax Timeline. The story of how your collection got here, tappable down to every record. On Apple Watch. Sessions with a countdown ring and a wrist tap to flip, stylus wear from real playtime, and complications down to Never Spun. Scrobble to Last.fm, sell on the Marketplace, and never buy a duplicate gift with Gift Mode. DAILY ESSENTIALS Catalog every record on Discogs. Log spins with rating, notes, and moods you invent yourself. Find any pressing fast with a barcode and cover scanner that switches to the macro lens up close, or point Vinyl Vision at a sleeve with no barcode at all. Add records not on Discogs, for the bootlegs and flea-market finds. Your library backs itself up to iCloud and keeps working during a Discogs outage. First-class iPad layouts, an Apple TV app with Game Night, widgets, Spotlight, and a Control Center scan control. NOW IN 17 LANGUAGES English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Hrvatski, 日本語, 한국어, Português (Brasil), Português (Portugal), Nederlands, Svenska, Italiano, Türkçe, 简体中文, 繁體中文, العربية, and עברית, with full right-to-left layouts. WHO IT IS FOR If you keep records on a shelf. If a Sunday morning sounds like a specific side B. If you have ever stood over a record-shop bin wondering what you already own, or what shape your copy is really in. Spinstack is built for you. Records remember. We listen. Built for collectors. Tuned by the obsessed.
