Crate is for the vinyl you already own. Not a playlist. Not a shop. Not Discogs with a new coat of paint. Most catalog apps help you buy, rate, or complete a collection. Crate sits next to the shelf: the copies you already hold, one record on the platter, liner notes while it spins. It remembers what you own, picks a copy that has been waiting, and keeps the story of the night. Tonight is one record. Stay in the chair.

Hey — I built Crate. I love vinyl, and I kept playing the same thirty records while hundreds sat on the shelf. I wanted the thing beside the turntable: remember what’s there, pick one that’s been waiting, keep the story of the spin. Crate is for the records you already own. -The crate is the shelf — copies you hold, not a wishlist -Tonight is the platter — one record, with a reason it came off the shelf -The journal is the notebook by the chair — liner notes while it spins It is not a playlist. Not a shop. Not Discogs with a new coat of paint. Not social. Recommendations stay anonymous. No app to download. It is a site on purpose. Join is free. First 200 records, no card. Membership is $9.99 a year if the shelf is bigger than that. If you collect, I’d like to know two things: does Tonight pick something you’d actually put on — and what’s missing? https://crate.rocks

I built crate because it's what I wanted as a vinyl enthusiast. Ask me anything.
