I'm a farmer who actually builds apps too and who collects vinyl and is addicted to vintage gear.
It started simple, build a simple app to catalog my records. So I built an app where you point your phone at a record and AI does the rest.
The design thinking behind it:
> the entire hook is the scan. one photo → AI reads the label → matches the exact pressing on Discogs → logged. the #1 reason people quit collection apps is manual data entry. I deleted that step.
> most vinyl apps are spreadsheets wearing a logo. I wanted it to feel like the hobby — warm, tactile, built for people who actually love records.
> it tracks real-time value from Discogs and eBay. your shelf stops being "some records" and becomes a portfolio you can watch move.
> the turntable is half the hobby, so you catalog your gear too — every piece in the signal chain. almost no app does this.
> free for your first 100 records. the free tier isn't a trial, it's a real home. collections grow. so does what people need from the app.
> the whole thing runs on AI pointed at a real problem, not a demo reel.
It's called Rekkrd. https://t.co/rzq3HzBj6z
Your gear gets the same treatment as your records. Turntable, receiver, speakers, sub — all cataloged and mapped into a live signal chain. Because the setup matters as much as the vinyl.

This is home base. Browse your crate, scan a record, spin a playlist, dig Discogs, check your wantlist. Everything a serious collector needs in one place.

I got tired of tracking my vinyl collection in spreadsheets, so I built something better.
Rekkrd lets you scan a record cover with your phone camera and AI identifies and catalogs it instantly and a lot more! https://t.co/zaPlc3Bi9N
