Crate
Catalog your records — the shelf you browse, not a marketplace
An offline vinyl catalog in the browser: Goldmine sleeve and media grading, price paid against what you think it's worth, shelf location down to the slot, a wantlist for the shop, and insights by decade, genre and label. No account, no listings.
Stored in your browser only. Nothing you do in the web version is sent to our servers. Clear your browser data and it's gone — so export a backup from the in-app menu if you want to keep it.

What you can do in Crate on the web
A shelf you can actually browse
Every record as a tile with a pressed-vinyl motif coloured by genre, filtered by artist, label, format, genre or decade and sorted six ways — recently added, artist, title, year either way, or value.
Goldmine condition grading
Sleeve and media graded separately on the collectors' standard — M, NM, VG+, VG and G — with the full description of each grade bundled offline.
Price paid vs what it's worth
Record what you paid and what you reckon it's worth now, and Crate shows the net on each record plus the declared value of the whole shelf.
Shelf location down to the slot
Crate B, slot 14. Find any record in a 2,000-piece collection instead of flicking through every sleeve.
Wantlist for the shop
The records you're still chasing, with a note about which pressing — and a warning when you already own a copy, so you don't buy a dupe in the aisle.
Collection insights and CSV export
Records by decade, genre, top labels, media condition and format, your standouts, and a CSV of the whole collection for a spreadsheet or your insurer.

Questions
Is the web version of Crate free?+
Yes. Sign in with a free All Things AI account and use every screen — no subscription, no in-app purchases.
Where is my data stored?+
Only in this browser's local storage. Nothing you enter is sent to our servers, so we can't see it, back it up, or restore it. Clearing site data, a private window, or another device starts empty. Export a backup from the in-app menu to keep it.
Do I need an account?+
You can read about the app without one, but you must sign in to open it. Sign-in is free and takes a few seconds with Google.
How is the web version different from the Crate iPhone app?+
The iPhone app scans a catalog number off the back cover with the camera and stores a photo of the sleeve; the browser version is typed entry and draws a genre-coloured vinyl motif instead of cover art. There is no marketplace and no price guide anywhere in Crate — current value is whatever you declare, on the phone and here alike. The iPhone app builds a printable PDF catalog; here you get a CSV of the collection and a JSON backup. Your collection is saved in this browser only, so a second device will not see it unless you export and import the backup.
