André Wolke
Builder of Vynl · @andrewolke

Vynl is a one-person project — built on weekends, Anthropic credits, and a slightly bigger NAS than I would have bought otherwise. If you like it, if it brings you a bit of joy, if it takes the friction out of sorting, renaming, and organizing your library so you spend more time actually listening to your favorite songs — feel free to buy me a coffee via the link below. And if you're feeling generous, a small monthly sponsorship goes a long way.

That said: don't feel obligated. The whole point of open source is you don't have to.

Follow @vynl_it on X for news, suggest a new feature, become a contributor — or just enjoy the ride.

Where the money goes

Spent on the things that keep Vynl shipping.

No salary, no fancy office, no marketing spend. Sponsorships pay for the things that would otherwise come out of my pocket on a project that's free to use.
