My Vinyl+ on iPhone Duo
Most apps on a foldable phone just get wider. A record collection gets better.
On the open iPhone Duo, My Vinyl+ gives a record the whole inner display: the vinyl fills one screen, and the pressing, label, notes and grading sit beside it on the other. There is nothing to switch between and nothing to scroll past.
The record page, unfolded
- The record, at size. Artwork, label and disc are drawn from the release’s own photos, so a 1970s pressing looks like the copy in your hands rather than a stock thumbnail.
- The details, beside it. Label, catalogue number, format, country, year, and your own notes and condition stay visible while you look at the record.
- The hinge is the sleeve. Open the Duo and the record slides out of its sleeve as the screen widens. Close it and the record goes back in.
Scan a shelf hands-free
Record Store Day queues and shop crates are hard on one hand. Fold the Duo like a laptop, stand it on the counter or a shelf, and the bulk scanner turns into a desk scanner:
- The inner camera reads barcodes hands-free while you hold each sleeve up to the top screen.
- The bottom screen shows what it just found: the record, whether it is already in your collection, whether it was already scanned in this session, and the running count.
- The open, flat Duo suggests the fold the first time you open the bulk scanner, and the screen stays awake while the phone sits on the desk.
Scans are deduplicated exactly as they are in normal bulk scanning, and they land in the same review-and-import flow, so a stack of finds still gets checked once before it enters your collection.
The desk scanner needs My Vinyl+ 4.5.2 or later. The unfolded record page needs iPhone Duo and iOS 26.
What you need
- An iPhone Duo, unfolded for the record page or folded like a laptop for the desk scanner.
- A Discogs account, if you want your collection and wantlist synced. The app reads and writes your Discogs collection; it does not replace it.
- My Vinyl+ from the App Store.
If you are planning a Record Store Day run, the Record Store Day release lists in My Vinyl+ are in the same app, and the changelog lists what each release added.
