Krat13 โ Frequently asked questions
Tap the + button in the top-right corner of the Collection tab. You can fill in the details manually, scan a barcode, or paste a Discogs / Apple Music URL to auto-fill everything.
Yes. In Discogs, go to My Collection โ Export to download a CSV. Then in Krat13 go to Settings โ Import from CSV and select the file. The import handles Discogs's format automatically (condition grades, "Artist, The" name inversion, format strings, etc.).
No. Krat13 is entirely account-free. Your data lives on your device and syncs via your existing iCloud account if you want it โ no sign-up, no email, no password.
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 โ we recommend exporting a backup first via Settings โ Export Backup (JSON).
Try Settings โ Repair Missing Covers. The app will search MusicBrainz and iTunes for each record with a blank or broken URL and propose 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 to take a photo or choose from your library. The image is saved locally on your device.
Go to Settings โ Export Backup (JSON). This saves a complete backup of your collection and want list to Files or iCloud Drive. You can also export a CSV or PDF inventory.
Go to Settings โ Import Backup (JSON) and select your .json backup file. You will be asked to confirm before anything is replaced.
Note: restoring a backup replaces your current collection. Export a fresh backup first if you want to keep both.
Long-press your home screen โ tap + in the top-left โ search for "Krat13". Choose from Today's Spin (small), Recently Added (medium), or Vinyl Shelf (large). Lock screen widgets are available 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 โ 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 NFC Sleeve Sticker section. Tap Write Tag, then hold an NFC sticker near the top of your iPhone. Once written, tapping that sticker with any iPhone opens the record directly in Krat13.
Any NDEF-compatible NFC sticker works. Common options: NTAG213/215/216 stickers (widely available for under $0.10 each).
NFC is supported on iPhone 7 and later. It is not available on iPad or Mac. The NFC section shows a "not supported" notice on unsupported devices.
