💿

Scan & identify

Snap a barcode — or even a label photo. Our AI recognises the exact pressing and auto-fills cover, artist, year and label from trusted music databases.

📍

Marketplace nearby

List records for sale and find them on a live map. Distance-based search means you meet up local — no shipping headaches.

Wishlist sonar

Tell us what you're hunting. The moment a match lists within your radius — or drops in price — your phone buzzes.

🎧

Now Spinning

Share what you're playing two ways: a live link for your bio that updates the moment you drop the needle on the next record, or a permanent snapshot of one record you can post anywhere.

🏅

Collector badges

Earn badges as your collection grows — milestones, genres and rare finds — and share them with a tap.

🔗

Share your shelf

Turn your collection into a shareable page collectors can browse — perfect for your bio, a forum post, or showing off a wall.

🏪

For record shops
