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 spinning in real time, a tone arm that catches the groove, haptics that pulse with every scratch. It's streaming with the soul of a turntable.

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 featured Vinyls as App of the Day multiple times across the world. 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 and stewards a portfolio of well-crafted, delightful apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Vision Pro — some acquired from their original developers and given a second life, others built from scratch.
The common thread is a design philosophy built on craftsmanship — 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.
