Built for crate diggers and serious collectors: white labels, promos, private pressings and obscure reissues, where a barcode lookup alone comes up empty.

Scan, review the match, and add releases to your Discogs collection with far less typing and fewer manual searches.

DISCOGS INTEGRATION
CrateLog connects securely to Discogs via OAuth, so you can browse and manage your record collection directly from the app.
Connect your Discogs account, scan barcodes, search the Discogs catalog, and browse your collection for free.

WORKS BEYOND BARCODES
• Smart Scan — identify LPs, 12" singles and CDs from sleeves and center labels, even without a barcode
• Barcode Scan — fast lookup for standard barcoded releases
• Batch Scan — scan a stack of records one after another without returning to the home screen
• Invoice Import — photograph receipts or import PDF invoices to match multiple releases automatically
• CSV Import — restore or migrate a Discogs collection export, with duplicates skipped
• Manual Search — search the Discogs database directly for any release

CrateLog is especially useful for underground releases, white labels, promos, and rare pressings, where barcode-only scanners often come up short.

ADD TO COLLECTION FASTER
• Review every match before adding anything to your Discogs collection
• Pressing-aware matching helps narrow down similar vinyl pressings
• Duplicate detection instantly flags already-owned records during scanning and import
• Batch workflows cut repetitive Discogs searching

ORGANIZE YOUR SHELVES
Plan where your records physically live. CrateLog groups your vinyl collection into shelf-sized clusters, keeps genres together, and suggests where each new album should go on your shelves.

COLLECTION INTELLIGENCE
Get deeper insight into your record collection with trends, genre and era breakdowns, duplicate groups, collector profile analysis, and collection patterns.

COLLECTOR SUBSCRIPTION
CrateLog is free to use — connect Discogs, scan barcodes, search, browse your collection, and organize your shelves at no cost.
The Collector subscription (monthly or annual via Google Play) unlocks unlimited Smart Scan, Batch Scan, Invoice Import, and CSV Import.
Smart scanning uses cloud recognition and matching to identify non-barcoded releases.
Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel anytime through Google Play.

PRIVACY FIRST
Camera images and imported PDF content are processed ephemerally during recognition and are never permanently stored on our servers.
