About

Cratewise

Features
Read full description

Cratewise is the fast, focused collection app for vinyl collectors and DJs. Keep your entire record collection and wantlist in your pocket fully offline, always available, no account required. Search millions of releases. Find any pressing, edition, or repress and add it to your collection or wantlist in two taps. Your data, your device. Everything is stored locally. No ads, no tracking, no analytics. Connect your own Discogs account with a personal access token to sync your collection and wantlist - or don't, and use Cratewise fully standalone. Built for crate diggers. Check your wantlist in the record store, confirm whether you already own a pressing before buying it twice, and export your collection to CSV whenever you want - your data is never locked in. Cratewise uses the Discogs API but is not affiliated with Discogs.
