A tool for Discogs collectors: browse your want list and collection, get AI-written collector notes and recommendations, and build listening playlists you can play right in the page. Thanks for testing it!
You don't need the App Store — you can add this to your phone's Home Screen and it opens like a real app, full-screen with no browser bars.
This is an early test build, and your feedback is the whole point of it. Use the Feedback button in the bottom-right corner any time — pick a type (Like / Dislike / Want to see / Bug) and jot a note. It goes straight to the team. A few things we'd especially love your take on:
Click Sign in with Discogs. You'll be sent to Discogs to authorize access — you type your password on Discogs, never here. Once you approve, you're back in the app with your full want list and collection loaded.
The top of the page shows your totals: how many records are in your collection and on your want list. Your username, What’s new (a running changelog with the current version number), Guide, Settings, a light/dark theme toggle (☀/☾ — it remembers your choice), and Sign out are in the top-right.
Your Discogs want list as a cover-art grid. Filter with the search box (title, artist, label, genre) or the genre and country dropdowns, and sort by recently added, artist, title, or year. Active filters appear as removable chips above the grid (with “Clear all”). Use the view toggle (next to search) to switch between the cover grid and a compact list for scanning long lists quickly — your choice is remembered. Pressing countries fill in progressively in the background the first time. Click any record to open its detail. (The Collection tab has the same search, sort, and view toggle.)
On your phone the app runs as a proper mobile layout: a bottom tab bar (with a big Scan button in the middle), a slide-up filters sheet, and a menu (☰, top-right) for Guide, Settings, theme, and feedback. The header tucks away as you scroll so more records stay in view.
The same browsable, searchable grid for the records you already own on Discogs, newest additions first.
Records to chase next, chosen by AI from the taste profile of your collection + want list, then verified as real vinyl releases on Discogs. Leave the box blank for a well-rounded set, or ask for something specific — e.g. "find me 10 spiritual jazz records". Use ↻ More for a fresh batch. On each pick you can:
Sub-tabs sit at the top of this tab:
A listening sequence you can play right in the page — via YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Music (see Playback below). There are two ways to build one:
Saving & managing. A generated playlist is temporary until you Save this playlist and name it — after that, a new prompt won't overwrite it. Saved playlists appear in the Saved playlists dropdown at the top of the tab, where you can open, rename, or delete them. With one open you can reorder tracks (▲▼), remove tracks (✕), or add more albums to it from your Liked list — changes save automatically. Opening a saved playlist doesn't need an AI key.
A read on who you are as a collector, drawn from your whole collection and want list. It opens with the numbers — your genres and sub-genres by how many records you own in each, plus your most-collected artists, labels, and eras — so you can see the real shape and breadth of your taste at a glance (no AI needed for this part).
Below that, tap Generate my portrait and the AI writes a short taste portrait — a few paragraphs describing your core, your range across sub-genres, your signature artists/labels, and what your want list suggests you're chasing next. It reads your whole library, so it can take up to a minute; hit Refresh portrait after your collection grows to update it. (The portrait uses your AI key.)
How sought-after your records are, using Discogs' community want/have signal — how many people want a record versus already have it. A higher ratio means more in-demand. You'll see the demand spread across everything you own and want, how your collection (mostly circulating records) compares to your want list (where the grails tend to be), and your most in-demand records — tap any to open it. No AI key needed; it's free community data. The first time, it fills in automatically in the background (one quick Discogs lookup per record), so it may show a progress bar before the full view appears.
Sharing. With a saved playlist selected in the Saved playlists dropdown, hit 🔗 Share to get a public link. Anyone you send it to can open a clean page and play the playlist (via YouTube) — no Discogs account or login required. Hit Stop sharing to disable the link instantly.
On the Want List and Collection tabs, the Export button (in the toolbar) saves whatever is currently showing — so it honors your active filters. Two formats:
Because it exports the filtered view, this is handy for sharing a focused list — e.g. filter your want list to a pressing country and send a seller just the records that are domestic to them.
Out crate-digging and spot a record you don't recognise? Tap 📷 Scan in the top bar, snap a photo of the front cover (on a phone it opens the camera), and the AI will:
If it's a new find that fits, you can add it straight to your want list. It's a quick gut-check for whether an unknown record is worth the buy. (Works best with a clear, straight-on shot of the front cover.)
Every scan is saved to a Recent scans feed on the Scan screen, so you can look back on what you dug up. Tap any entry to bring its verdict back up (and add it to your want list if you didn't at the time). Remove a single scan with the ×, or Clear history to wipe the lot. Only the identification and verdict are stored — never the photo itself.
Clicking any record opens a detail panel with:
The AI parts (collector notes, recommendations, and playlists) run on your own Anthropic API key, so you only pay for what you personally use, and it stays under your control.
The AI is intentionally general out of the box — but every collector is different, so Settings lets you steer it to your taste. Instead of one big text box, you build up a list of rules: type a rule, click Add, and it appears in the list below. Each rule is saved to your account the moment you add it, and you can remove any of them with the ✕. Your rules are layered on top of Claude's factual guardrails (it still won't invent pressing details, personnel, or dates). Three controls:
The idea is that the same tool should suit a first-pressing jazz obsessive and someone building a casual reissue collection equally well. Changes apply to newly generated notes and to recommendations the next time you refresh them (tap ↻ More on the Recommendations tab); notes you've already generated stay as they were.
Not every record is on every service — the note at the top of the list shows how many matched.
Your Discogs token and (optional) Anthropic key are stored encrypted and used only to act on your behalf. Full details in the privacy note ↗.
You can delete your account and all its data at any time from Settings → Delete account — that removes your saved playlists, liked/disliked records, notes, preferences, and your stored Discogs token and Anthropic key. It’s immediate and can’t be undone (your records on Discogs itself are untouched).
