Spindle
Shelf order that matches the crate
Artist, then title, then year. Leading articles come off. “Name and the …” stays with the solo name. Genre sort is there when you want sections instead of letters.
Shelf organization for vinyl collectors — Windows and Android
Catalog the shelf the way the records actually sit.
Discogs knows what you own. Spindle knows where it goes. Organize your collection into cabinets and shelves, then find a record without endlessly scrolling through your collection.
Early build. Windows may say it protected your PC. Choose More info, then Run anyway. The app installs as Spindle Beta. Android is an install file, not a Play Store listing. Not affiliated with Discogs.
From Discogs to shelf in three steps
Connect the collection you already have. Arrange it like your actual shelves. Find it while you stand in front of the shelf.

Questions collectors usually ask
Does Spindle change my Discogs collection?
Spindle does not add or remove records from your Discogs collection. However, when syncing shelf layouts and genre changes between devices, Spindle may update collection notes associated with your records.
Do I need a Discogs account?
No. You can import a CSV or JSON file and organize that collection on the device where you imported it. Cross-device shelves require a Discogs account, which is also how marketplace prices stay current.
Can I use Spindle without Discogs?
Yes. Catalog without Discogs on the phone, or import a spreadsheet. An imported collection stays on that device. Spindle exports work as-is.
Does it work with large collections?
Free covers up to 100 records. Pro unlocks unlimited size for bigger cabinets.
Does one Pro purchase cover Windows and Android?
Yes. One Pro key unlocks both Windows and Android.
Where is my collection data stored?
On your computer and phone. Spindle does not run a cloud account for your collection. See the privacy policy for details.
How does Windows ↔ Android sync work?
The bridge is Discogs collection notes. Cabinets, shelf layout, and genre edits travel in those notes, so Windows and Android file the same shelves. An imported collection is not shared. Spindle does not run its own server.
