Gatefold catalogues every format you own, IDs the record playing nearby, warns you before you buy a duplicate, and lets the Clerk DJ your shelf in the car.
The record shop 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 shop clerk who's read every title you own. No ads. No data mining.
THE CLERK: KNOWS YOUR WHOLE SHELF
Deadpan, opinionated, deeply nerdy, and a proper laugh 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. He'll even chat to you in a Scottish, Welsh, or Irish voice. Just pick your favourite accent in Settings.
"Three Ween albums but no Chocolate and Cheese? Sort it out, mate."
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, going 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 shop and Gatefold tells you if it's already on your shelf, or saves it to your wantlist.
FOR THE DEEP COLLECTOR
Offline record shop 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, gig alerts for two postcodes, custom notes, and unlimited shelves.

Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
CarPlay, mostly. The buttons on the Clerk's voice screen could take the app down. They don't now. If the Clerk went silent after a phone call, or connected cold and never spoke, that was an audio engine that couldn't restart. Fixed. Signed out in the car now says so on the first tap instead of failing quietly. Metric drivers stop hearing miles an hour. Driving Mode on the phone no longer yanks the set out of the car. Cards on the Clerk strip carry one name, not two.
Each playlist mode builds its own set now. Deep Cuts goes for records you own and never play. Random Banger takes the fastest measured tempo on your shelf, no AI anywhere near it. 7 Degrees names the actual shared credit, and it's 7 Degrees of Connection now, because the link is a real person on both records.
Also: shelf search reaches every record you own, and Settings has a What's New page.
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.
