Needl in Claude
Bring your collection into Claude. Connect your Needl account and ask about your records the way you'd ask a friend who knows your shelves: "What did I play most this month?", "What was I spinning on this day last year?" or "Log that I just listened to Side B of Kind of Blue." Claude can pull up your records and collection stats, help you pick tonight's spin, and add records or wishlist items for you, all saved to Needl. Sign in once to connect, and disconnect whenever you like.
Tidal Support
Bring your Tidal listening into Needl. Connect your Tidal account and Needl will show what you've been streaming right alongside the records you own, just like it does with Apple Music and Spotify. Your Tidal plays will count toward your listening stats and your monthly Pressed recap, and you'll see which albums you stream most but don't have on vinyl yet. Those make easy picks for your wishlist.
iPhone Duo Support
Needl is getting a brand-new design built for iPhone Duo. Unfold it and your collection opens up on the 7.6-inch display, with room to browse your shelves and see a record's details side by side. Fold it closed and pick up right where you left off on the 5.4-inch outer display. Or stand it up next to your turntable, and Now Spinning and StandBy turn it into a dedicated display for cover art, live lyrics and visualizers while the record plays. Your whole collection, made for the fold.

Liaten from the album page
A way to quickly “listen” a record when on album detail screen. For example you listen to a record, find in library, click it to go to details, look at photos etc, you read about ai stuff and same as you can like it, you can click somewhere “listened” or something, to check which sides you listened to
Family sharing
Hi Moises! I would love to be able to have a feature where you can do a version of family sharing of a shared collection for exqmple boyfriend/girlfriend have a combined collection! That way I don’t have to scan in my albums that my bf has already done in his collection!
Wishlist sorting
Have the searched vinyls in wishlist be sortable, defaulting to sort by popularity. Possibly having other options based on available data (IE rating, length, etc.)
Hey Siri, Add This · iOS 27 beta
The new Siri can see what's on your screen — so soon, you won't have to say a record's name at all. Just look at it in Needl and say "add this to my wishlist" or "what's this worth?" and Siri will know exactly what you mean. No searching, no typing, no naming names.
Smart, Fast, and Yours Alone · iOS 27 beta
Needl's new intelligence will run right on your iPhone — faster recognition, works offline, and your photos never leave your device. When a match gets tricky, it'll be able to quietly ask Apple's private cloud for a second opinion, without ever tying anything back to you.
Know It by the Cover · iOS 27 beta
The best records rarely have a barcode — the originals, the obscure pressings, the ones worth the dig. Soon you'll be able to just point your camera at the cover instead. Needl will recognize it on sight, right on your device, and tell you exactly which pressing it is and what it's worth.
Album Pages: Smoother, Cleaner
We're polishing how album and wishlist pages look and feel — smoother scrolling, backgrounds that pull color from the artwork so text stays easy to read, and small motion touches throughout. Same pages you know, just refined.
App Clips: Try Needl Instantly, No Install Needed
App Clips are Apple's way of running a tiny slice of an app instantly — no download, no account, no waiting for the App Store. We're building one for Needl: scan a code on a record store shelf and a lightweight version of the app will open right there, showing you the price, a few tracks to preview, and a button to save it to your wishlist. Decide you want the full app later, and everything you saved will already be waiting for you.
Records in 3D
Scan a record and it'll turn into a real, rotatable object on your screen — one you can spin, slide the disc out of, and open at the gatefold. Light will move across the sleeve, the vinyl will catch a sheen, and your collection will look closer to the real thing than ever.
Dig Together
Two phones, one shared crate — built for record digging with someone else. Hold your iPhones close or hop on FaceTime, and every record either of you scans will drop into a live crate you both watch fill up in real time, with prices, dibs, and reactions built in. When the session wraps, you'll get a Dig Recap of everything you found together.
