SIDE A · 01 — A HOME FOR YOUR RECORDS
Every record you've made, on one wall.
Gatefold turns your discography into a gallery of cover art. Fans browse by cover, sort by year, filter by format or decade, and open any release for the tracklist, the credits and the story behind the artwork. No account, no server: it lives in your browser and exports to one file.

SIDE A · 02 — THE WALL
Fans know your records by their covers.
So that's how Gatefold shows them. Every release is a square on one wall with its title, year and format underneath. Newest first, or flip it and start from the beginning. Narrow it to the EPs, or to the 2010s, or both. Every view has its own link, so "the singles from the 2000s" is something you can send to someone.

Add a release
Title, date, format, and the cover image from your computer: Gatefold shrinks it for you. Paste the tracklist straight from the liner notes, one track per line, numbers and all. Credits go in the same way: "Producer: Ines Calloway".

Keep the file
Export the whole discography, covers included, as one JSON file named after you and the date. Import it on any other browser to pick up where you left off.

SIDE B · 01 — THE DETAILS
The small print collectors read first.
- TRACKLIST
- Numbered, with running times and a total for the whole record. Paste it in; Gatefold strips the "01." for you.
- CREDITS
- Grouped by role, in the order you wrote them. Producer, mixed by, every player.
- COVER ART
- Shown large on every release, with the name of the person who made it and their notes on how. Releases without art get a designed placeholder cover, so the wall never looks broken.
- FORMATS AND ERAS
- Album, EP, single, live album, compilation. Decades are worked out from the release date, so "the 1990s" is a filter you never have to maintain.
- YOURS
- No account and no server. Everything stays in your browser until you export it, and the export is one plain JSON file you can read, back up or move.
- CAREFUL
- Light and dark to match your visitors' devices, a two-column wall on phones, every control reachable by keyboard, and alt text on every cover.
SIDE B · 02 — THE REAL THING
This is the app, running.
Not a video. Browse the sample wall, open a release, try the filters. When you're ready, open it full size and make it yours.
