About Gatefold.fm: Vinyl Collection
The record store in your pocket. Gatefold is the OS for your music collection: vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and digital on one shelf, with deep liner notes and a record-store clerk who's read every title you own. No ads. No data mining. THE CLERK: KNOWS YOUR WHOLE SHELF 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 knows the pressing plants, reads the deadwax, and connects producers and samples a crate-digger would miss. "Three Ween albums but no Chocolate and Cheese? Get on that." TALK TO THE CLERK: HANDS-FREE Ask out loud and he answers in his own voice: who played bass, what to spin next, the story behind the session. CARPLAY: THE CLERK RIDES SHOTGUN Talk to the Clerk, play today's Spin, browse your shelves, or pick a mood and let him DJ a set, all from the CarPlay dashboard. DJ MODE Give the Clerk a vibe and he builds a set from your shelf, with spoken patter between tracks like late-night radio. DRIVING MODE Your music, your calm. Gatefold reads the road and cues something from your own collection to take the edge off. MARQUEE: YOUR TURNTABLE'S SECOND SCREEN Prop a spare phone or tablet by the hi-fi and Marquee becomes a "now spinning" display: cover art, credits, and pressing details, updating the moment you drop the needle. ONE SHELF: EVERY FORMAT One-click Discogs import built for huge collections, file upload, or connect Apple Music and Tidal. Add records by cover scan, barcode, or Shazam. Your Discogs stays untouched. Gatefold reads, never writes. Play through Apple Music or Tidal with your own subscription, or hear previews. TODAY'S SPIN Every morning the Clerk pulls one record from your collection: off the weather, an anniversary, a music holiday, or something you haven't played in months. A pick with a reason. THE HUNT: NEVER BUY A DUPE New vinyl from artists you own, plus tour dates near you. Scan any record in the store and Gatefold tells you if it's already on your shelf, or saves it to your wantlist. FOR THE DEEP COLLECTOR Offline record-store mode for the crate dig with no signal. Collection stats, genre treemaps, and cover mosaics. A live value estimate and an insurance valuation PDF at VG+. Stylus-hour tracking so you swap the needle before it wears your records. Repress and Record Store Day alerts for artists you own. A public profile you fully control, or switch off. Turn any album into art for Instagram, X, and Bluesky. FREE FOREVER: 10 records or 10,000. No ads, no tracking. The lights stay on two ways: Mosh Pit subscriptions and records you discover and buy. THE MOSH PIT unlocks everything: unlimited Clerk chat, premium AI, unlimited DJ sets and Flex art, the insurance report, scrobble to Last.fm, sync your shelf to Apple Music or Tidal, concert alerts for two ZIP codes, custom notes, and unlimited shelves. All photos in app come from photos taken by users. Terms of Use: https://app.gatefold.fm/terms

What’s new
Version 1.26.4 · Updated October 10, 2026
Record Store Day Black Friday is November 27. All 177 releases are in Want, each with its cover and how many copies were pressed. Build your list now, and get warned before you buy one you already own. Every record takes two ratings now. Album is how much you love it, one to five, shared across every copy you own. Sound is how that pressing plays, in half steps. Until you rate a pressing, Sound shows what Discogs collectors gave it. Your Discogs stars come in when you sync. Yours only go back if you switch sharing on. Notes are free. Write one on any record, and the notes you kept on Discogs come in with your collection. Share has a page of its own. Pick a card (your last month of spins, your whole shelf, one artist's run with what you own and what you're missing, your wantlist), tune it, and send it. CarPlay listens better. The Clerk's screen says Hang on until the mic is really open, then Go ahead with a short tone, and a second tone when it has heard you. Short answers are picked up faster. Ask for music and you hear a quick line while the set is built. A long red light no longer counts as traffic. The menu fits on one screen. On a folding iPhone the tabs move to a side rail when it's closed, and the shelf opens to four columns. Add a record now and pick the exact pressing later. Album pages show where your records were made, and the people behind them have bios. Known on iOS 27: the CarPlay play button can read Play while music is playing until you press it once. Apple's bug, not ours.
