Listening journal
A journal of what actually spun on the table — pressing, side, needle, room.
On the table
GrooveLog is not a catalog of albums you own. It is a cabinet of sessions: which stamp sat on the platter, which cartridge was on the arm, how the room felt.
Log the pressing, side, table, cartridge, minutes, crackle, and a short impression while the needle is still down.
Spins sit on a timeline of verdicts — sang here, mixed night, or left on the needle — so you return to evenings, not lists.
Originals, reissues, and unofficial copies with condition, catalog, year, and notes — the physical stamp, not a stream.
Hours on the cartridge against a budget, so a worn needle does not surprise a long evening on inner grooves.
Group spins under a night title and a room note — lamp only, parlor, rain on the windows.
Same album, different stamp: rank which editions actually behave in your room after enough table time.
How a night is kept
A session opens as a spin: Kind of Blue on side A, Technics in the parlor, Ortofon on the arm.
Impression, crackle, volume, and verdict stay attached to that drop — not to a generic album page.
When the needle is down you fill a Drop: pressing, side, table, minutes, surface.
Keep the spin and it lands on the journal spine with the rest of the evening.
The journal is a timeline of table time, not a library grid.
Cabinet, nights, shelf, and stylus sit one tap away from what actually played.
Privacy
GrooveLog does not collect personal data. Spins, pressings, cartridge hours, listening nights, and room notes stay on the device where you write them. We do not operate a GrooveLog account server for this journal, and we do not sell listening records.
If you contact support, we use the address you write from only to reply. Effective date: 9 September 2026. Questions: use the support column.

We read mail in English. Include the app name GrooveLog so the note is easy to find.
