RATED T
“For best results, straighten your stacks!”— Fellow Enthusiast
“I stack my tapes wide, so before I uploaded them to TAPEWRM, I just rotated them in my Gallery ”— Clever Person

HOW TO

The current iteration of the Tapewrm app is trained on shelves of roughly 100 tapes aligned in single rows of vertical standing spines. So if this looks like your collection, you're in luck! Just snap a photo of it and feed it to Tapewrm.

If Tapewrm gets stumped on a tape, the app will present you with the extracted spine and ask you to fill out the title manually with the help of live autocomplete results by TMDB (The Movie Database).

Want to catalog your tapes but your shelves are more of a chaotic mess of horizontal stacks, leaning towers, and general VHS mayhem? Try it out anyways! Your photo will help train version 2.0, which you can be notified of updates of by following Tom on Instagram.
