Gatefold FM is the Fun and Nerdy Music Companion for your music collection.
Vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and digital — every format on one shelf, with deep liner notes, a daily pick with a reason, and
a snarky record-store clerk who's actually read your whole collection. No ads. No data mining.
ONE SHELF — EVERY FORMAT
One-click Discogs import (built for huge collections), file upload (.xls/.doc), search, or connect Apple Music &
Tidal. Add records on the spot by cover scan, barcode scan, or Shazam (audio recognition). Vinyl, CD, cassette, SACD,
box sets — finally together. Your Discogs stays untouched: Gatefold reads, never writes. Play any record through Apple
Music or Tidal (with your own subscription), or hear 30-second previews.
THE CLERK — KNOWS EVERY RECORD YOU OWN
Snarky, opinionated, deeply nerdy — and a blast to argue with. Ask for a pressing, build a playlist from your shelf,
get the lore on a producer, or get your gaps roasted. He reads liner notes, knows the pressing plants, and connects
producers, deadwax, and samples a crate-digger would miss
"Three Ween albums but no Chocolate and Cheese? Get on that.
TALK TO THE CLERK — HANDS-FREE VOICE
Ask out loud and the Clerk answers in his own voice — who played bass, what to spin next, the story behind the
session.
DJ MODE — THE CLERK SPINS A SET
Tell the Clerk a vibe and he builds a DJ set from your shelf, with spoken patter between tracks like late-night radio.
CARPLAY
Gatefold works with Apple CarPlay — talk to the Clerk hands-free on the drive. Eyes on the road, lore in your ears.
TODAY'S SPIN
Every morning the Clerk pulls one record from your collection — based on the weather, anniversaries, birthdays, music
holidays, and what you haven't played in months. A pick with a reason.
MARQUEE — YOUR TURNTABLE'S SECOND SCREEN
Prop a spare phone or tablet by your hi-fi and Marquee becomes a "now spinning" display: big cover art with credits
and pressing details, updating the moment you spin on any device.
STYLUS & CARTRIDGE TRACKER
Gatefold tracks how many hours are on each stylus, so you know exactly when to swap the needle before it wears out
your records.
THE HUNT — NEVER BUY A DUPE
New vinyl from artists you own, plus tour dates near you. In the store, scan or Shazam any record and Gatefold tells
you instantly if it's already on your shelf — or saves it to your wantlist.
RECORD STORE MODE — OFFLINE
Your whole collection syncs to your device — scan and pull pressing and deadwax data with zero signal, from record
fairs to dollar bins.
COLLECTION STATS & MOSAICS
Genre treemaps, cover-art mosaics, top artists, rarest pressings, and a live collection value estimate.
INSURANCE VALUATION REPORT
Export an insurance valuation PDF and spreadsheet — replacement cost at VG+ with current Discogs pricing, ready for a
scheduled personal property rider.
ALERTS: REPRESSES, NEW RELEASES & SHOWS
Get pinged about new releases, represses, and Record Store Day exclusives from artists you own. Never miss a show with
tour-date alerts, and sync your concert history from Setlist.fm.
SHARE YOUR SHELF — PUBLIC PROFILE
A public profile others can browse: your collection, recent spins, concerts, and wantlist — fully configurable, or
switch it off entirely.
THE FLEX
Turn any album into shareable art for Instagram, X, and Bluesky.
FREE FOREVER — works with 10 records or 10,000. No ads, no tracking. The lights stay on two ways: Mosh Pit
subscriptions, and albums you discover and buy.
THE MOSH PIT unlocks unlimited everything: unlimited Clerk chat, premium AI, unlimited DJ sets, unlimited Flex art,
the insurance valuation report, one-touch scrobble your spins to Last.fm, sync your physical collection to Apple Music
or Tidal, concert alerts across two ZIP codes, custom notes on every album, and unlimited custom shelves.

Similar to other reviews, I stumbled on this via Reddit. This app is great even if you don’t consider yourself a music nerd. But especially enjoyable if you do. It’s a really unique and interesting means of experiencing your record/Discogs collection if all you want is a tool that’s more intuitive and flexible than the Discogs app. But all of the added features enhance the experience. I never engage with AI chat unless I have to. Yet I’ve found myself unknowingly debating the merits of a few different bands with the ‘Clerk’ as well as some pointed (but not untrue) critiques of my record collection. Plus the daily recommendations are sending me into some dusty but worthwhile corners of my collection. This is clearly a labor of love for the developer as he seems to be adding new features frequently. And is incredibly responsive to feedback. You can feel the continued joy he’s channeling into this with each new update. Definitely worth checking out.
The Best!!

I found this app on reddit and thought i’d give it try and so glad I did. This app is amazing, it gives you a record you should play for the day and why you should, and what to play after, gives recommendations to records from records you already own, shows upcoming releases, and can even add records to your want list or collection just by hearing it. Amazing app, it’s a little slow on the loading but that doesn’t stop it from being great. For a new app and app developer this is amazing, and an amazing idea that I wish I had lol. Will definitely be using this, great job!
Developer Response

MARQUEE — YOUR TURNTABLE'S SECOND SCREEN
Prop a spare phone or tablet next to your hi-fi and Marquee turns it into a "now spinning" display you can read clear
across the room — big cover art, production credits, pressing details, and a sharp one-line take from the Clerk. New
this release:
• Tap Identify and Marquee listens (Shazam) to recognize the record actually on your platter, then puts it up on
screen with its credits and pressing info. Hear something you don't own? It offers a one-tap Wantlist add — no need to
leave the display.
• Marquee now rotates to landscape, so it looks right however you prop it, while the rest of the app stays portrait
where it belongs.
• Track stylus hours per cartridge right from the display, so you know exactly when to swap the needle before it
starts wearing your records.
• A cleaner card overall: bigger across-the-room type and a clear "Now Spinning" header.
CARPLAY — THE CLERK RIDES SHOTGUN
Gatefold now works with Apple CarPlay. Talk to the Clerk hands-free on the drive — ask what to spin next, who played
bass on the record you just grabbed, or the story behind a session. Eyes on the road, lore in your ears.
INSURANCE VALUATION REPORT — REPLACEMENT COST
A collection this good should be covered. Export a printable insurance valuation PDF (plus a spreadsheet) that values
your records at replacement cost — what it would actually take to rebuild the collection at VG+ condition using
current Discogs market pricing. It's itemized and formatted for a Scheduled Personal Property rider or an agreed-value
collectibles policy, so you can hand it straight to your insurance agent.
