Field notes
The homepage describes an album catalog workflow: users can log dates, notes, and tags, backdate earlier listens, and count relistens; logged records populate a shelf-style Crate or a one-at-a-time “Dig” view. It also lists a 21-family Genre Passport and yearly summaries built from a listener’s own logs. The site says the iPhone app is in beta, with access by TestFlight invite; these capabilities are presented on the landing page, not independently verified.
