Find a vinyl record from your home screen
Shelfify was already the quickest way to find a record on your shelves: type a few letters and it shows the room, the shelf, the compartment and the position. Version 1.1.0 goes one step further and brings that search to places outside the app: iPhone search, the app icon, Control Center and the Action button. Search, Control Center and the Action button are on iPhone; the app icon shortcuts work on Android too.
iPhone search (Spotlight)
Swipe down on the home screen and type an artist or an album. Your records show up with where they sit on your shelves, and a tap opens the record in Shelfify, even when the app is already open in the background.
The index is built on your phone and stays there. It is part of Pro, like Find Record in the app, and it is cleared if Pro ends.
Long press the app icon
On iPhone and Android, press and hold the Shelfify icon for four shortcuts: Find a record, Scan a barcode, Random pick, and Now Spinning when a record is set. They open the same screens as the buttons inside the app, in the language you picked in Shelfify.
Control Center and the Action button (iOS 18)
Open Control Center, tap + at the top left, then Add a Control, and search for Shelfify: pick Random Record or Scan a Record. For the Action button, go to Settings, Action Button, swipe to Controls and pick the same. One press and you are looking at a random record from your shelves, or at the barcode scanner with a new record in your other hand.
Together with the widgets, these make the phone a small remote for your shelves: what to play, where it is, and what just came home.
