Collection app
Scan the barcode.
The record catalogs itself.
Crate reads a record’s barcode with any camera and pulls in the artwork, tracklist, label, catalog number and pressing from Discogs, with MusicBrainz as a fallback.
Built-in camera, USB webcam or iPhone via Continuity Camera. A code must pass its checksum and appear in two frames before it counts.
Searches Discogs first, then MusicBrainz and the Cover Art Archive. Pick the right pressing, review, and save.
Keeps the camera running so you can catalog a whole crate in one go.
Goldmine grading for media and sleeve, rating, favorite, shelf location, price paid and purchase date.
A cover grid or sortable list, smart collections, and generated Genre and Decade lists.
Reads Discogs’ own collection export CSV, then fills in missing covers and tracklists in the background.
Crate works without an account. A free personal token adds thumbnails and raises the rate limit.
Artwork is stored at 1200 pixels, with a 400-pixel thumbnail for the grid. The library is a SwiftData store in ~/Library/Application Support/Crate/.
