A recreation of Sleeve finding the exact pressing of a record and filing it in the crate.

The short version

Record finder

Sleeve is a catalog for your record collection. Show your phone a record and it works out what you're holding, helps you pick the exact pressing, and files it in your crate with the cover, label, year and catalog number.

Why I made it

What it does

Every record has a story and a catalog number, and I can only ever remember the first one.
So now my phone remembers the second. There are 46 records in here so far, and the number only goes one way.

Where it stands

Sleeve is running on my own Android phone for now. The version you'll try here uses a handpicked set of records, so you can see it work without owning a turntable.
