Vinyl Buddy: Record Collection
LP Catalog & Wishlist Tracker
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your records deserve better than a spreadsheet.
Vinyl Buddy is a private, music-first home for the records you own and the ones you're still hunting. Every album lands on your shelf as a full-size cover, with the details of your actual copy attached.
BUILD YOUR SHELVES
Search the Apple Music catalog to add an album in seconds, or type a record in by hand when the pressing isn't listed. Fix anything the catalog gets wrong, photograph your own cover for a rare edition, and save release year, vinyl color, catalog number, pressing notes, and personal notes. Own two copies? Add them both.
KEEP A WISHLIST
Records you're still hunting live on their own shelf. Move one over to your collection the moment you find it in the wild.
DISCOVER FROM YOUR OWN SHELVES
Albums and artists suggested by the records you collect—not by your listening history. Heart your favorites to steer what comes up next.
NEVER WONDER WHAT TO SPIN
Play Next pulls a record at random from your collection, in the app or from a Home Screen widget. Tap the widget for a different pick without opening the app, or ask Siri to choose for you.
YOURS, AND PRIVATE
Your collection is stored on device and, when iCloud is available, synced through your own private iCloud database. There is no Vinyl Buddy account and no collection server, and your saved records stay available offline. Export everything to CSV whenever you like, or import a collection you already keep in a spreadsheet—a title and artist column is all it needs.
Designed for iPhone and iPad.
Apple Music access is used for catalog search, artwork, album details, and recommendations. An Apple Music subscription is not required, and you can still add and manage records manually without granting access.
One purchase includes the complete app. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
