Overview

Analog brings your Discogs collection to your iPhone, recognizes the record on your turntable, keeps what’s playing on your Lock Screen, and builds listening sessions from the records you already own.

It’s made for physical records: Analog helps you enjoy your collection, but the music still comes from your turntable.

01 · Now playing

Drop the needle. Analog listens along.

Analog recognizes the record and the side from your own collection as soon as the music starts. It shows the tracklist, follows what’s playing, and tells you exactly when it’s time to flip.

02 · Collection

Your full Discogs, in your pocket.

Connect Discogs once and your whole collection syncs over. Search your records, sort by recent additions, favorite the albums you keep coming back to, and choose how Analog suggests what to play next.

03 · Analog Studio

Set the mood. Analog curates it.

Pick an occasion, a mood and genres from your own shelf, or describe the moment in your own words. Set how long you want to listen, and Analog Studio lines up the albums, sides and order for your next session.

1. Pick the vibe
2. Set the length
3. Studio drafts it
4. Review, save and start
04 · Sessions

Every session, always at a glance.

Save your sessions as playlists and come back to them anytime. While a record plays, the side, the time left and what’s up next stay on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, without unlocking your iPhone.
