Cover art
Recognize an album immediately while browsing your collection.
Vinyl collection app
Your vinyl. Your shelves. One app.
Keep your record collection with you, so the next great find does not turn into the duplicate you discover when you get home.
More than a cover grid
Keep the details with the record.
Artist & title
Keep the core identity of every release easy to understand.
Format & release details
Save the available release information that helps distinguish the copy you own.
Condition
Record the condition of your copy instead of trying to remember it later.
Purchase details
Keep when and where you bought it connected to the record.
Estimated value
Record a value for reference without turning the collection into an investment dashboard.
Photos
Add your own images for labels, inserts, signatures, colored vinyl, damage, or other details that matter to the copy.
Categories
Organize by genre, era, label, or another system that makes sense for your collection.
Private notes
Keep pressing clues, provenance, listening notes, or personal context with the record.
Files & useful links
Save supporting documentation and references with the item they describe.
Your whole record shelf
Every format has a place.
Catalog the records you spin, collect, display, hunt for, or simply want to stop buying twice.
LPs
New releases, reissues, original pressings, everyday listening copies, and the albums that built the collection.
7-inch & 12-inch singles
Singles, EPs, maxi-singles, promos, and other releases that disappear easily into a larger shelf.
Box sets
Multi-record sets, deluxe packages, anniversary editions, and expanded releases.
Limited & special editions
Colored vinyl, alternate covers, signed copies, numbered releases, exclusives, and other editions where your exact copy matters.
Soundtracks & compilations
Film scores, compilations, live albums, various-artist releases, and everything else that belongs in the same record collection.
Your records, your system
Organize beyond the alphabet.
Use categories such as Jazz, Metal, Electronic, Soundtracks, Limited Editions, or whatever helps you understand your own collection.

Faster record cataloging
Spend less time entering records.
Use supported barcode or music lookup when it can identify the release, confirm what Catalist found, and save it. When it cannot, add the record yourself and keep moving.
Scan supported barcodes
Use a barcode when one exists and Catalist supports the lookup.
Confirm the result
Check the returned identity before saving it to your collection.
Keep useful metadata
Save the available artist, title, cover, format, and release information without requiring a perfect collector-grade match.
Add it manually
Older pressing, no barcode, or lookup miss? Add the record yourself instead of abandoning the catalog.
Ready for the next find
Record shop memory, in your pocket.
A collection tracker matters most when the records themselves are somewhere else.
Avoid duplicate buys
Check what is already in your Vinyl collection before another copy follows you home.
Remember which copy
Reference the cover, photos, condition, notes, and saved release details when editions start looking alike.
Keep condition attached
Stop relying on memory for which copy was clean, worn, sealed, signed, or worth replacing.
Remember where you found it
Keep purchase details and notes with the record instead of losing the story in an old receipt or order history.
Document special releases
Add photos for labels, inserts, signatures, numbered jackets, colored vinyl, or other details the standard cover does not show.
Handle a growing collection
Give hundreds of records a consistent place to live before the shelf becomes the only catalog you have.
Built around ownership
Catalog the record you own.
The same album can exist in dozens of versions. Catalist lets you keep your own condition, photos, purchase details, notes, and recorded value with the copy that is actually on your shelf.
More than vinyl
Keep the rest of the collection close.
Vinyl does not have to live in one specialist app while books, board games, tools, home inventory, and other collections live somewhere else.
Keep them in Catalist while each collection keeps its own organization and identity.

Questions, answered
The practical details.
What to know about using Catalist as a vinyl collection app.
What is a vinyl collection app?
A vinyl collection app gives you a digital record of the records you own, including album identity, covers, condition, purchase details, photos, notes, values, and other context you want to keep with each copy.
Can Catalist scan vinyl barcodes?
Catalist supports barcode and music lookup where the item and source are supported. Vinyl barcode coverage varies, and records without a useful match can always be added manually.
Can I catalog records without barcodes?
Yes. Add them manually and keep the artist, title, photos, condition, notes, and other details you know.
Can I keep multiple copies of the same album?
Yes. Each copy can be its own Catalist item with its own condition, photos, purchase details, notes, and recorded value.
Does Catalist automatically price my vinyl?
No. Catalist lets you record a value for your own reference; it does not currently provide live vinyl market pricing.
Is Catalist a record marketplace?
No. Catalist is a private personal catalog, not a marketplace for buying or selling records.
Can I organize records by genre?
Yes. Use categories that make sense for your collection.
Is my collection public?
No. Catalist is private by default.
Can I use Catalist for vinyl and books together?
Yes. Keep separate Vinyl and Books collections, plus any other collections you want, in the same Catalist account.
