Your whole shelf, down to the exact pressing.

Pressing, condition, cost and plays, kept with the copy you own rather than the album it came from. Records and CDs alike.

Kura on iPhone — a scan matched to one Discogs pressing, with the evidence shown field by field
  1. The copy in your hand

    Point the camera at the label, the barcode or the runout. Kura matches your copy to one Discogs release, shows the evidence, and checks whether you already own it.

  2. It tells you when it is not sure

    When the evidence can't settle the pressing, Kura saves the copy as needs review and shows you what to check in the dead wax, the blank run-out after the last track.

  3. A collection you want to open

    By artist, by year, by what hasn't been played in a while. Condition, notes and photos stay with the copy.

  4. What you paid, kept with the record

    What each copy cost, when, and where. That's what you paid, not what it's worth, and Kura doesn't guess at worth.

  5. Keep, or let go

    Mark each copy keep, on the fence, or let go, with the pressing, the condition and your play history in front of you.

  6. What you play, not just what you own

    Log a spin, rate it while the record turns, and let Kura suggest the next side.

  7. Your data stays yours

    Sync your collection in and mirror durable facts back out. Kura builds on Discogs and never locks your collection inside itself.

Kura on iPhone — the play-next screen suggesting a record from your own shelf

Start with whatever clue you have.

Every copy offers different evidence, and Kura takes any of it.

Label

Photograph the label. Kura reads the catalogue number, the label and the country straight off it.

Sleeve

Front or back. Kura looks for the barcode first and reads the text when there is none.

Barcode

The fastest way in and the highest-trust match, when the copy has one.

Listening

Play the record. Kura identifies what it hears, then asks which format you own.

Search

Type the artist, the title or the catalogue number, for the copies the camera can't help with.

Dead wax

The one Kura doesn't read for you. It shows you which marks to look for, and you make the call.

What we have not built.

Here is what Kura doesn't do yet, so you can decide before you download anything.

What your record is actually worth
Real value needs real sold prices for your exact pressing. Free data gives the lowest asking price, which is close to meaningless, so this waits for a proper market feed.
Reading the dead wax for you
Kura shows you which marks to look for and lets you make the call. Reading a runout automatically is a hard problem, and we'd rather solve it than pretend.
Reissue and availability alerts
Knowing when the record you want turns up, or when a reissue changes the picture for one you own.
The web version
Your collection on a bigger screen. It needs a backend, so it arrives with the paid tier.

Shipped changes are listed, build by build, in the release notes.

Kura is in beta and not on the App Store yet.
