How many times did you wanted to go back and continue with the last session of listening to your new discovered albums?
Did you want to remember how that album felt to you after you listened it?
Or you just want to keep track of everything you listen without having to remember everything inside your brain.
Well, the answer to this questions is Trakabum.
Trakabum is an app for people who wants to search and store their listened albums. Not only that, but you can have a rating system of the ones you have listened, as well as sorting and filtering all of them so you can focus on whats more important to you.
This is an android application which uses the Spotify API to retrieve information from the albums. In fact, we use a library which has a bunch of implementations of the API already built in, so it is easier for us to develop the application to the public.
- Cartonny & beautiful UI: Based on Excalidraw's design with a cartonny design style.
- Search and browse albums: Use the integrated search functionality to find albums based on artists, genres, or specific keywords.
- Album details: View detailed information about each album, including the artist, release date, tracklist, album cover art and more!.
- Add albums to your personal lists: Save albums to your personal lists for easy access and reference.
- Mark albums as listened: Keep track of the albums you've already listened to by marking them as listened.
- Create custom tags for each list: You can create tags for the lists that you want so you can organize more your albums.
- Notifications for new releases: Receive notifications whenever new albums are released by your followed artists.
- Personalized recommendations: Get personalized album recommendations based on your listening preferences and saved albums.

- Will this app be available in the App Store? For now, we dont plan to release Trakabum on the App Store, but if we recieve enough requests about it, we will.
- Can i have a tag for more than one list? Yes, you can.
- Has the app a triel or something like that? Yes it does! It has a free trial version for you to try. The trial is only 7 days, so after the time has passed, you will have to pay to keep using the app.
- Can i use the app without Spotify? No, you cant. The Spotify API is the most important ingredient for the app to work, so unfortunely, we have to use it. Altough, about connecting with your Spotify account, you can not log in with Spotify, and use the app for only local querys and store local information.
