About
Why Teca.
You're in a shop on a Saturday, holding a record you might already own. Your collection is at home. Your wantlist is buried in a note you never open.
Teca is for that moment. Point your camera at the sleeve, front and back, and it tells you the exact pressing: label, catalog number, year, format. Not just the album. The pressing.
Your Discogs collection and wantlist come with you. Your crates stay the way you built them. It's fast, dark, and quiet, whether you're digging on a Saturday afternoon or building a setlist on Friday night.
No marketplace. Just your records.
Questions worth asking
Is this legit?
Fair question for any new app, so here is what you can check yourself: the privacy policy names what's collected and why, deleting your account is self-service and documented, and you can try it as a guest, without an account.
Connecting Discogs or Spotify is optional, and you sign in on their site, never on ours. Teca never sees or stores those passwords, and you can disconnect Teca from your Discogs or Spotify account at any time. Teca isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Discogs, Spotify, Apple or Deezer.
How do I get it? Why only the first 1,000?
Tap Download for iPhone. It opens Apple's TestFlight, where Teca's iPhone preview lives until it's on the App Store.
The first 1,000 members get it free while we open Teca up in stages.
Do you sell records, or take a cut?
No. No listings, no checkout, no commission, no ads. Free for the first 1,000 members. Teca is for using a collection, not transacting on it; that's the whole point of it not being a marketplace.
What happens to my collection data?
It stays yours. Importing from Discogs copies your collection and wantlist into your Teca account so they work offline and in a shop; it doesn't change anything on Discogs. Delete your account and the imported data goes with it. The privacy policy has the specifics.
