Open one record
The app selects one album from enabled, eligible lists. An unfinished album remains available the next day.
An independent project by TSRat
One album a day,
by chance.
I designed this iPhone app around one complete album at a time, giving familiar listening habits room for something unexpected.

Why I made it
The next record
needn't sound like the last.
I chose not to predict the next album from recent playback. Instead, the app draws from lists listeners enable, leaving room for both deliberate choice and chance.
Design
From discovery
to a lasting record.
Play it where you already listen
The app opens a matching album in Apple Music or Spotify. It does not clip tracks or play music inside the app.
Decide what stays with you
Listeners can mark and rate an album after hearing it. Those choices form a personal listening journal over time.
“Hear the whole record.
Then make up your mind.”
The design leaves judgment until after listening, without asking for an instant rating.
Data choices
The music is out there.
Your thoughts stay with you.
The project requires no account. Listening history and ratings stay on the device by default; backup export is user-initiated. The app does not read playback history from music services.
