Crate is the beautiful, native way to catalog your vinyl. Point your camera at an album cover or spine and Crate identifies the record and creates the entry in seconds โ no barcode hunting, no account required. Batch-scan a whole shelf in minutes. Your collection lives in a stunning album-art grid you'll actually want to open. Sort by artist, genre, year, or label. Grade each record's media and sleeve using the Goldmine standard (M, NM, VG+, VG, G), keep a want-list of records you're hunting, and track informational value estimates over time. Log what you're spinning, build a listening history, and let on-device AI write liner-style notes for an album or a taste profile of your whole collection โ all private, all on your device. Then show it off: generate a gorgeous shelf card and share your collection to Instagram and Reddit. Crate syncs privately across your devices with iCloud. No account, no marketplace, no tracking. Free to start. Crate Pro unlocks unlimited records, AI notes, full value tracking, and watermark-free shelf cards โ monthly, annual, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Value figures are estimates for personal reference, not professional appraisals. Built for crate-diggers, by crate-diggers.
