Press Kits
An independent iOS studio — one developer, a portfolio of delightful apps.
Elevator Pitch
Vinyls is an unapologetically retro music player. A full-size record spins in real time, a tone arm catches the groove, and you can scrub the disc with your finger. It's streaming with the soul of a turntable.

A vinyl you can touch
Drag across the disc to scrub, swipe up to browse, tap the sleeve to dust off forgotten albums.
-
Vibrant backgrounds
Colours from your album art wash across the entire app, shifting with every track.

History
Vinyls launched in March 2021 as a deliberately skeuomorphic Apple Music skin: a full-size album sleeve pressed onto a spinning disc, a tone arm that drops into the groove, finger-scrub scratching. Apple has featured Vinyls as App of the Day five times, across Europe, Central Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Vinyls joined the Pixelfolio portfolio in 2025, and Version 3.0 (2026) is its first full relaunch under Pixelfolio, a Liquid Glass redesign with adaptive artwork backgrounds on iPad and Mac. Modern platforms, unchanged soul.
Press coverage
“A big vinyl record that you can scrub to seek back and forth through a song. You can’t do that with Apple’s Music app!”
— Oliver Haslam, iMore
“A beautiful iOS-centric app that displays a spinning vinyl with a tonearm that animates in and out when playing and pausing.”

About Pixelfolio Inc.
🇨🇦 Halifax, Nova Scotia · Founded 2025
Pixelfolio is a one-person iOS studio run by Dominic Williams, who grew up in Wales and now lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The company builds a portfolio of well-crafted, delightful apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. Some were acquired from their original developers and given a second life, others were built from scratch.
The common thread is a design philosophy built on craftsmanship. That means sweating every detail of the user experience and putting the customer ahead of everything else. A small studio can care about the things larger teams have to skip, and that care is the product.
