Tap the gold + button in the center of the bottom tab bar. The Add hub opens with a switch between Collection and Want List and every way to add: scan a barcode, search by artist and title, paste a store link (Discogs, Bandcamp, eBay, Apple Music, and many record-store pages), import from Discogs or a CSV, or add it by hand. However you start, Krat13 fills in the details it can find and opens a review screen so you can check and finish the record before saving.

Yes, two ways. The quickest is to connect your account: go to Settings → Services → Connect Discogs, then tap Import from Discogs (also on the + Add hub) to pull in your collection and want list. Prefer a file? In Discogs, go to My Collection → Export to download a CSV, then in Krat13 open the + Add hub → Import CSV (or Settings → Library → Spreadsheet Tools → Import Spreadsheet) and select the file. Either way, Krat13 handles Discogs's format automatically (condition grades, "Artist, The" name inversion, format strings, etc.).

No Krat13 account is required. Your library lives on your device and can sync through your existing iCloud account. You may separately connect a Discogs account for import/sync, and Apple manages any Pro subscription.

1. Make sure you are signed in to the same Apple ID on both devices.
2. Go to Settings.app → [Your Name] → iCloud and ensure iCloud Drive is enabled.
3. Check that Krat13 is listed and enabled under iCloud → Apps Using iCloud.
4. Give it a minute — CloudKit sync is not instant. The iCloud Sync section in Krat13 → Settings → Library shows the current status.
5. A poor network connection on either device will delay sync.

If iCloud sync was working, your collection will be restored from iCloud after reinstall within a few minutes. If you only had local data (iCloud disabled), reinstalling permanently deletes it — we recommend saving a backup first via Settings → Library → Create Krat13 Backup.

Try Settings → Library → Cover Art → Fix Missing Covers. The app searches cover sources such as Apple iTunes, Deezer, and Wikipedia for each record with a blank or broken image and proposes replacements. You review each one before anything is saved.

You can also edit the record and paste a direct image URL, or take a photo of the sleeve using the camera button in the edit form.

Yes. When editing a record, tap the camera icon in the Cover Image section. An ordinary cover photo is saved locally (and in your private iCloud if sync is enabled). Only photos you deliberately submit to Premium Scan are sent through the Krat13 backend to Google Cloud Vision.

Go to Settings → Library → Create Krat13 Backup. This saves a complete backup of your collection and want list — records, prices, notes, and local artwork — to Files or iCloud Drive. You can also export spreadsheets from Settings → Library → Spreadsheet Tools, or a PDF catalog (a Pro feature).

Krat13 also keeps its own safety net: once a day it writes a snapshot of your library to the device and keeps the last three. If a sync or a restore ever removes records, open Settings → Library → Automatic Snapshots and restore one; you get the same Merge or Replace choice as for a backup file. Snapshots never leave the device and are removed by Delete All App Data.

Go to Settings → Library → Restore Krat13 Backup and select your .json backup file. You choose how to restore: Merge adds only items that aren't already in your library, while Replace overwrites the current library (and saves an automatic undo copy first).

Note: Replace overwrites your current collection. Save a fresh backup first if you want to keep both.

Long-press your home screen → tap + in the top-left → search for "Krat13". Choose from Today's Spin (small), Recently Added (medium), Vinyl Shelf (large), or Krat13 Smart (Pro — you choose what it shows). Now on the Shelf is the Lock Screen widget, in the same list.

Widgets refresh automatically when you open the app and whenever your collection changes. If it is stuck, open Krat13 and add or edit any record — this triggers a widget refresh. iOS also limits widget update frequency; "Today's Spin" refreshes at midnight each night by design.

Open a record's detail page and scroll to the Make this record tap-to-log section. Tap Write Tag, then hold an NFC sticker near the top of your iPhone. Once written, tapping that sticker with an iPhone that has Krat13 installed opens Quick Log for that exact copy — confirm, and the play is logged.

Any NDEF-compatible NFC sticker works. Common options: NTAG213/215/216 stickers (widely available for under $0.10 each).

Writing tags needs an iPhone with NFC (iPhone 7 and later). It is not available on iPad or Mac, so on those devices the Make this record tap-to-log section does not appear on a record's detail page.

No. We do not sell personal data or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. Limited data is sent to providers only for the features and operations described in our Privacy Notice.

Settings → Delete All Records removes only your owned collection and its linked local covers, reminders, widget data, Live Activities, and caches. It keeps the want list, settings, subscription, analytics/AI choices, and Discogs connection. Settings → Delete All App Data performs the full local/iCloud reset, including the collection, want list, local covers, caches, Discogs connection, and most settings. Afterward, the app offers a separate pre-filled request for identifiable historical analytics, diagnostics, backend, or support data. You can also use Request My Data or Erasure at any time without deleting or uninstalling the app. These controls do not cancel an Apple subscription, erase Apple purchase history, delete copies already exported/shared, remove physical NFC content, or guarantee immediate deletion from an offline device. See the Privacy Notice for exact scope, legal exceptions, and independent-provider controls.
