About GrailVinyl: Record Scanner
Point your phone at any record and know it in seconds — which album, which pressing, and what it's worth. GrailVinyl runs on your device: your photos, voice, and audio are read right on your iPhone with Apple's Vision framework and never uploaded. That's why it's fast — and private. IDENTIFY IN SECONDS — ON DEVICE Apple Vision reads the label or sleeve directly on your iPhone, so results come back in milliseconds — no server round-trip, no waiting, no account. • Photograph it — point at the cover or label; the text is read on-device. • Say it — speak the artist, album, or catalog number, even in a noisy shop. • Type it — search anything you can read off the sleeve. • Play it — let the app listen to a track that's spinning. • Scan it — the back-cover barcode for a one-tap lookup. The catalog ships inside the app, so core search is instant and works offline. KNOW YOUR PRESSING — FAST Not all copies are equal — an original, an early repress, an import, and a budget reissue can be worlds apart in value. GrailVinyl shows which pressing you're holding and how it sits among every other pressing of the same album, by era, country, and pressing markers. Type the dead-wax/runout codes etched in the groove to narrow down your exact copy in seconds. (Collector reference for entertainment — not an appraisal or authentication.) ALL-IN-ONE — DISCOGS + LAST.FM IN YOUR POCKET One app for the whole vinyl life, connected to the services you already use: • Discogs — live release data, prices, and your collection; every pressing of every master at your fingertips. • Last.fm — drop the needle and GrailVinyl follows track by track, joining your vinyl spins to your streaming scrobbles, so you finally see what you actually listen to. • Crate mode — walk a shop and call out what you see, hands-free; GrailVinyl transcribes, matches, and tallies your finds. • Your collection — what your shelf is worth, which records are grails, what you own but never play, and what to chase next. • Share — turn your shelf into a clean, ready-to-post cover card. ON-DEVICE BY DESIGN No account required. Your photos, voice, and audio are processed on your iPhone with Apple Vision and never uploaded. The bundled catalog keeps core search instant and private. (Live data, prices, and cover art are fetched from Discogs, MusicBrainz, the Cover Art Archive, and Last.fm when you look beyond the bundled catalog.) FREE: identify by photo, voice, text, sound, or barcode · on-device catalog · basic pressing info · play & track with Last.fm · shareable collection cards — plus 14 days of full Grail Member access. GRAIL MEMBER: every pressing of every master · pressing deep-dives & sibling comparison · dead-wax / runout identification · audiophile reissues & curated pressing notes · unlimited Crate sessions · challenge breakdowns · seasonal badges. Prices, pressing details, and notes are collector reference offered for entertainment — not a guarantee, appraisal, or authentication. Always do your own research before buying or selling. Release data from Discogs · recording metadata from MusicBrainz · cover art from Cover Art Archive · listening data from Last.fm. Voice, photos, and audio are processed on-device and never uploaded; no advertising identifier; anonymous crash + usage diagnostics via Firebase.
