Read full descriptionHide full description
RunOut is a fast, focused tool for vinyl collectors and crate diggers. Search Discogs by catalog number, barcode, or text โ and see at a glance whether a release is already in your collection. Built by record collectors, for record collectors. No bloat, no social feed, no ads. Just search, identify, and log records โ quickly enough to use in a busy record store. Key features: * SEARCH FAST Look up releases by catalog number, barcode, or free text. Instant local search across your cached collection runs in parallel with the Discogs API. * KNOW WHAT YOU OWN Owned releases are highlighted at the top of every search result. Spot a duplicate before you buy. Find that pressing variation you've been hunting. * BARCODE SCANNER Use your iPhone camera to scan a record's barcode and jump straight to the matching Discogs release. * ADD ON THE SPOT Log a new record with media condition, sleeve condition, and personal notes โ all in a few taps. Set defaults for the folder and conditions you use most. * POWERFUL FILTERS Narrow down releases by format, size (12", 7", 10"), year, country, and label. Multi-select everything. * YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR WAY Browse your full collection in list or grid view. Sort by artist, year, or title. Add private fields per release โ purchase price, tags, custom notes โ encrypted and synced across devices. * WANTLIST INTEGRATION See your Discogs wantlist, mark items as wanted from any search result, and check off purchases as you make them. * OFFLINE-READY Your collection is cached locally, so search works even without a connection. New releases sync the next time you're online. * LIGHT & DARK Pick the look that suits your record store lighting. REQUIREMENTS RunOut needs a free Discogs account and a personal API token to read your collection. The token is stored locally on your device โ RunOut never sees it. Setup takes about 30 seconds; the in-app guide walks you through it. ABOUT RunOut is built by Linri AB. The same app is available as a free progressive web app at app.runout.io.
