Version 1.5 is out now

Your phone can see
the scratches.

Spinstack measures groove damage with the LiDAR sensor on iPhone Pro, then listens while a side plays and maps every mark it hears. You stop guessing what condition your records are in.

And once a record has a grade, you see what your copy is plausibly worth, not the cheapest one on the market.

LiDAR only on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro. Values are estimates, not appraisals.

The thing nobody else does

A grade you typed once
is a guess wearing a uniform.

Every other vinyl app takes your word for it. Spinstack takes three measurements, then turns them into something you can act on.

Hover or tap a mark to inspect it.

01

It looks

Four macro captures, and the worst quadrant sets the estimate, because the needle hits every scratch rather than the average one. The scanner estimates a grade with a confidence level; you set the grade. Needs LiDAR: iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. Learn more ›

02

It listens

Scratch Detection runs during a Silent Session and confirms a mark only when it recurs across plays. Every scratch is stamped with the loudness of the music around it, so you know which marks you will actually hear.

03

It prices

Any record with a media grade now shows what that specific copy is plausibly worth, not just the market floor. Labelled estimates, not professional appraisals.

The Condition Card and Receipt

A shareable image with every detected scratch drawn where it actually sits in the grooves, sized and coloured by severity. The Condition Receipt, for a buyer or an insurer, is free for everyone.

What else it does

The Tap Card

Tap a tagged sleeve and Spinstack answers with everything it knows about that copy on one card: pressing, grades, value, play history, the sound measured from that very copy, and its scratch map. Instantly, and entirely offline.

NFC

Ask Your Collection

Ask about your records in your own words and get an answer from your own shelves, with a receipt of what it checked. Works from Siri too. Requires Apple Intelligence.

On-device AI

Sonic Fingerprint

A Silent Session measures the record as it plays: tempo, key, loudness, structure and instruments, taken from the copy on your turntable rather than from a database. Requires iOS 27.

Measured

The Condition tab

A tab for record health: how many records are graded, what the ungraded ones are worth, and a queue sorted by value so the copies worth checking first come first.

New tab

Apple TV, caught up

Now Spinning fills the screen with the sleeve, a disc turning at a real 33 1/3 rpm and a running clock. Game Night is a pass-the-remote quiz built entirely from your own records, for two to eight players.

Spinstack Labs In development

Groove Vision gets sharper with every scan.

Groove Vision already measures a record with the camera and the LiDAR sensor. The next step is a machine learning model trained on real vinyl surfaces, so the estimate improves the more records the community scans.

A scanner that learns is a different instrument from one that does not, and nobody has built that for vinyl. Participation will be opt-in and anonymous when it ships.

What Collectors Say
★★★★★

"Listening to records is my favorite pastime. This app has only improved this important part of my day for me. It allows me to engage with my collection in new ways, dig into crevices I forgot I had. The fact that it is a one time purchase is so refreshing and the developer seems great. Get this if you love vinyl!!"

App Store review

★★★★★

"An amazing app that keeps getting better. A feature rich vinyl collection management app with many unique aspects. Logging spins, scrobbling to Last.fm, writing and reading NFC tags for your collection, and Discogs Marketplace management are just a few of the features that set this app apart from the others. The developer is incredibly responsive and has a true desire to create an app that is useful to the vinyl community."

★★★★★

"Been using app for my collection and it's been amazing. From the interface to the insane insights section. The price watchdog is set up nicely for great details on my collection. Lots of great things done in a short amount of time. Can't wait to see what's coming next!"

★★★★★

"Love the layout of this app and how similar to Apple UI it is. I like it much better than the iOS Discogs application. Priced very fairly. The other competitor application is wildly more money than this, and this arguably has more features. Great app, hope to see it continue to get updated!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Discogs account?
Yes, Spinstack connects to your Discogs account to sync your collection and wishlist. If you don't have one yet, you can create a free account at discogs.com.
Does Spinstack work offline?
Yes! After the initial sync, your collection is cached locally on your device. You can browse, search, and use the Spin Log completely offline. iCloud keeps everything in sync when you're back online.
Is Spinstack free?
Spinstack offers a 30-day free trial that includes every feature. After the trial, core features stay available to every user: your Collection, Wishlist, Folders, Spin Log, What to Spin, Crate Dig, Search, Barcode Scan, and Last.fm scrobbling. Spinstack Pro is a one-time $9.99 purchase that unlocks the full feature set including Bulk Scan, Vinyl Vision, The B-Side, Insights, Price Watchdog, NFC tagging, and more.
Was Crate Dig a Pro feature before?
Yes. Through Spinstack 1.3 (12), Crate Dig required Spinstack Pro or an active trial. Starting in 1.3 (13), it's included in every Spinstack install regardless of tier. Crate Dig runs entirely on your own collection data with no API calls or server cost, so keeping it behind the paywall didn't make sense.
How is Spinstack different from the Discogs app?
The Discogs app is built for browsing and buying on the Discogs marketplace. Spinstack is built for living with your collection. Spinstack adds a Spin Log that remembers every listening session, Crate Dig for rediscovering what you own, 3D Cover Flow, NFC tags on your sleeves, Vinyl DNA analytics, a privacy-first social feed, and native apps for Mac and Apple TV. Your collection loads instantly from cache and never logs you out. Spinstack syncs with your existing Discogs account. $9.99 once, no subscription.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Spinstack Pro is $9.99 once, forever. No recurring charges, no ads, no in-app purchase traps. Core features like Collection, Wishlist, Folders, Spin Log, Crate Dig, Search, Barcode Scan, and Last.fm scrobbling stay free after the 30-day trial. Pro unlocks analytics, social, NFC, Bulk Scan, and more.
Which Apple devices are supported?
Spinstack runs on iPhone (iOS 17+), iPad (iPadOS 17+), Mac with Apple Silicon (macOS 14+), and Apple TV (tvOS 17+). One purchase covers all platforms.
How does iCloud sync work?
Your Spin Log entries, ratings, and settings sync automatically across all your Apple devices via iCloud. No account creation needed - it works with your existing Apple ID.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. Spinstack has no servers, no tracking, and no analytics. Your data stays on your devices and in your iCloud. I never see or store your Discogs credentials.
