VinylReleases helps you track new vinyl drops in real time. Follow artists, set keyword alerts (like “splatter” or “test pressing”), and get notified when something you care about goes live. Free, no ads – built by a vinyl collector for collectors.

Hey everyone 👋
I created a free app to easily track new vinyl releases.
Like many of you, I love collecting vinyl – but I kept missing releases I actually cared about. Limited editions would drop and sell out before I even noticed. Some artists I follow just don’t get properly promoted on the major platforms.
So I built VinylReleases – a lightweight app where you can:
Follow artists you love
Set up keyword alerts (like “splatter”, “test pressing”, etc.)
Get push or email notifications as soon as something new drops
You can also import your favorite artists from Apple Music or Discogs, so you don’t have to start from scratch.
It’s completely free, no ads, no subscriptions – just a personal project I’ve been building for the past few months.
If you're into vinyl and want to stay ahead of releases, I’d love to hear what you think 🙏
Thanks for checking it out!
This seems like a useful, focused app. The ability to import your favorite artists from music apps or Discogs is a nice feature.
I could definitely see this expanding into a marketplace for collectors. Are there any buying options within the app? It's great that the app is free to use, but earning affiliate income through in-app links would be a great way to monetize the app. ☺️

@smjburton Thanks a lot, glad you found it useful!
You’re right - the app isn’t a marketplace, but each release includes links to places where you can buy (like label stores and retailers). Nothing gets sold directly inside the app, it just helps you find where to grab the record.
And yep, affiliate links are something we’re experimenting with as a non-intrusive way to support the app long-term - while keeping it free and collector-focused. Appreciate the thoughtful feedback! 🙏

Are you a vinyl collector? :) I still have some vinyls in the house of my grandmother (like John Lennon etc.). It sparked an idea to also swap/sell older vinyl relics via such app :)

@busmark_w_nika That’s awesome - sounds like a great collection!
At the moment, VinylReleases isn’t a marketplace, so there’s no selling or trading inside the app. It’s focused purely on helping collectors track new releases and get notified in real time

@lunyovdenis aaa, gotcha!

This looks like the dream tool for vinyl collectors no more out-of-stock nightmares. Do you plan to add marketplace integrations (like Discogs or Bandcamp) so you can not only track but also quickly purchase or pre-order directly through the app?
