Android app for vinyl DJs

A record box that knows what mixes next.

VinylDesk DJ keeps the tempo and key of every track in your crate, and shows which of your own records fit the one on the turntable.

Free for 7 days · no payment card needed

What DJ does

Made for records, where nothing tells you the BPM.

BPM and key, looked up

Add a track and VinylDesk looks up its tempo and key by itself. Lookups cost no AI Credits.

Or measured by the phone

Not in any database? Play the record, tap Record, and in about 20 seconds the phone measures BPM and key from what it hears. The audio stays on your phone. When the result is unsure, the app says so.

Now Playing

Tell VinylDesk what is on the turntable and it lists the tracks in your crate that match in key and tempo, with the pitch change you need.

Fill the crate from your collection

Pick tracks from the records you already have in Collector, search Discogs, scan a barcode, photograph the label, or type one in by hand.

Find it fast

Search by title, artist, BPM or key, set a BPM range, or show one Discogs folder at a time.

Played tonight

Mark a track as played. VinylDesk keeps when and how often you played it, and Recently played shows the list, so you do not repeat yourself.

Mixing

The next record, narrowed down for you.

Matching follows the Camelot wheel: the same key, one step up or down, or the relative major or minor. VinylDesk works out how far the pitch fader has to move and what that does to the key.

  • Your tolerance. Choose how many BPM a track may be away from the one that is playing.
  • Key lock or not. Tell the app whether your decks keep the key when you change the tempo. Without key lock the key shifts with the pitch, and the suggestions take that into account.
  • Play at another tempo. Set the tempo you are actually playing at and the suggestions follow.
  • Hear it first. A Spotify preview of the track, when Spotify has it.

Live BPM and key

What is playing right now?

Open the live tool and leave the phone next to the mixer. It keeps listening and shows the tempo and the key of the record that is playing, as it sounds with the pitch fader where it is. Underneath: the tracks in your crate that mix with it.

  • For records you have not added yet. A friend's record, a test pressing, a white label: you still see what goes with it.
  • Tap along when the tool reads half or double the tempo, and it moves to the right one.
  • Another record on? The reading follows by itself.
  • Always free to use. It runs on your phone, uses no AI Credits and keeps working after the trial, with or without a plan.

VinylDesk DJ live tool: a measured tempo of 133 BPM and key 11B (A major), with the tracks from the crate that mix with it underneath
A printed DJ label: cover, title and artist, a QR code, and large boxes with 117 BPM, key 3B and 45 RPM

Printed labels

Tempo, key and speed on the sleeve.

Print a label for every track on ordinary label sheets. BPM, key and 33 or 45 in large type you can read in a dark booth, with the key in its Camelot colour.

  • Scan to find it. Scan the QR code on a label and the track opens, with what mixes next.
  • Lines up with your printer. Measure one test sheet and every label lands in the right place.

Free trial and price

Build a real crate before you decide.

Every new account starts with 7 days of everything in VinylDesk, with no payment card. Finding tracks, looking up or measuring BPM and key, the live tool and the mixing suggestions never use AI Credits. Reading a label from a photo uses AI Credits, and the trial comes with 20.

After the trial DJ is €7.95 a month, or €79.95 for the first year, for unlimited tracks and 150 AI Credits every month. DJ includes Collector, so your collection and your crate come in one plan.

Without a plan the account becomes read-only after the trial. Everything you made stays and can be viewed, and your crate, Now Playing, the mixing suggestions and the live BPM and key tool keep working. Adding, editing, looking up, scanning and printing wait until you choose a plan. Nothing is deleted.
