Point your phone at any record — say it, type it, photograph it, or play it — and know it in seconds. Identify which pressing, with scrobble-supported player. Point your phone at any record and know it in seconds — then track every spin and show off your crate. GrailVinyl is the companion for the whole vinyl life: find it, learn it, play it, follow what you listen to, and share it. The catalog ships inside the app, so core searches come back instantly, and your photos, voice, and audio are processed on your phone — never uploaded. IDENTIFY IN SECONDS — four ways in • Say it — speak the artist, album, or catalog number, even in a noisy shop. • Type it — search anything you can read off the sleeve. • Photograph it — point at the label or cover; it reads the text on-device with Apple Vision. • Play it — let the app listen to a track that's spinning. • (Plus barcode — scan the back-cover UPC for a one-tap lookup.) All on-device. Results in milliseconds. KNOW YOUR PRESSING Not all copies are equal — an original, an early repress, a foreign import, and a budget reissue can be worlds apart. GrailVinyl shows which pressing you're looking at and how it sits among every other pressing of the same album — by era, country, and pressing markers. Type the dead-wax/runout codes etched in the groove to narrow down your exact copy, and see curated notes on the pressings collectors talk about most. (Context and reference for collectors — for entertainment, not an appraisal or authentication.) PLAY & TRACK Drop the needle and GrailVinyl follows along, track by track. Connect Last.fm and your vinyl spins join your streaming scrobbles in one place — finally see what you actually listen to, across formats. Then surface the albums you've played a lot but don't own on vinyl yet. DIG SMARTER — Crate mode Walk a record shop with your phone in your pocket. Call out what you see — artist, title, label — and GrailVinyl transcribes, matches, and tallies your finds, hands-free. KNOW YOUR COLLECTION See what your shelf is worth, which records are grails, what you own but never play, and what to chase next. The most interesting insight leads — then drill into every detail. SHARE YOUR COLLECTION Turn your shelf into something worth posting: a handsome cover-grid card — clean, or with your collection stats — themed to match the app and ready to share anywhere. ON-DEVICE BY DESIGN No account required. Your photos, your voice, and your audio are processed on your phone and never uploaded. The catalog ships inside the app, so core search is instant and private. (Live release data, prices, and cover art are fetched from Discogs, MusicBrainz, the Cover Art Archive, and Last.fm when you look beyond the bundled catalog.) FREE: identify by voice, text, photo, sound, or barcode · on-device catalog · basic pressing info · play & track with Last.fm · shareable collection cards — plus 14 days of full Grail Member access when you start. GRAIL MEMBER: every pressing of every master · pressing deep-dives & sibling comparison · dead-wax / runout identification · audiophile reissues & curated pressing notes · unlimited Crate sessions · challenge breakdowns · seasonal badges. Prices, pressing details, and notes are collector reference offered for entertainment — not a guarantee, appraisal, or authentication. Always do your own research before buying or selling.
