Cataloged this week

Real collections, building in real time.

Every record below was scanned by a Crown Vinyl user today.

How it works

Scan, photograph, price.

01

Scan the barcode

The barcode pulls the exact pressing: year, label, country, catalog number. No barcode on the sleeve? Skip this step and the app reads the sleeve photos instead.

02

Photograph the record

Front and back of the sleeve, plus both sides of the disc. The condition is graded against the Goldmine standard, the same scale Discogs and eBay sellers use.

Get a real price

Sale comps filtered to your exact pressing in your exact condition. Saved to your collection with the photos you took.

Barcode first

The exact pressing,
in one scan.

A barcode resolves to one specific pressing: year, label, country, catalog number. The app handles it in the second it takes the camera to focus. No barcode on your record? The sleeve photos take over.

Goldmine grading

Graded the way
real sellers grade.

Sleeve and media are graded from your photos against the Goldmine 8-point scale. The same scale Discogs marketplace, eBay, and serious collectors use. Pricing comps then filter to that grade.

Synced for life

Your collection,
on every device.

Sign in once. New phone, new iPad, dead phone, none of it matters. Your records show up when you log back in.

Everything in the app

Built for people who actually collect.

Barcode-first scanning

Scan the barcode and the app pulls the exact pressing from the release database. No barcode? Photograph the sleeve and the app reads it instead.

A real catalog

Every record in one place with the photos you took. Sort however your brain works.

Pricing you can trust

Sale comps filtered to your exact pressing in your exact condition. Watch your collection move with the market.

Search that works

By artist, year, label, country, color, pressing plant. If it is a field, it is searchable.

The right pressing

Originals vs reissues. Color variants. Promos. Misprints. The differences that matter to anyone who actually collects.

Your photos, your record

The record in your catalog is the record on your shelf. Ringwear, signatures, insert quirks, all of it.

A few questions

The ones people ask before they install.

Yes. That is most of what we built it for. First-press jazz, private-press soul, regional punk, color variants, promos, audiophile reissues. The records the big sites get wrong are the ones we got right. If it misses one, you correct it and it remembers.

Older pressings (mostly pre-1980) and a lot of audiophile reissues don't have one. Skip the barcode step and the app will identify the record from photos of the sleeve. The pricing logic still uses the same Goldmine grading from your photos.

We price the exact pressing in the condition you actually have. Discogs averages run across every pressing of a title, so a 1973 first press and a 2017 repress can end up at the same number. We use the barcode to lock the pressing, the photos to grade against Goldmine, and pull comps that match both.

Free to download. You get a set number of scans every month at no cost. Most people never hit the cap. Unlimited scans and richer value tracking are part of an optional Pro upgrade.

You log back in and there it is. Records are saved to the cloud the moment you scan them. New iPhone, new iPad, dead device, none of it matters.

Not unless you decide they should. Your collection is private by default. You choose whether anything ever shows up on a public profile or in the community feed.
