About this app

Atelier is a gallery for the things worth keeping for life: your children's drawings, your own design work, the pictures and letters that matter, and the art you love. Scan a drawing with the camera and it hangs, framed, on a gallery wall under museum light, at the size it was made. Posters and layouts lie flat on a designer's desk. Public-domain paintings from The Met's open collection hang in a quieter wing beside them. A HOUSE, NOT A FEED There are no accounts, no likes and nothing to follow. Walk the wall, step close to a picture, leaf through the sheets on the desk. Each work keeps the child's own title, their age when they made it, the medium, and where the original is kept. Rooms have their own sound, and a speaker button when you would rather they did not. MADE TO OUTLIVE ANY APP Your pictures are ordinary files on your device, visible in the Files app, with their details written beside them. Nothing is uploaded to us, ever. Export the whole archive as a folder at any time, and bring it back on any device. Turn on iCloud Drive and the same archive appears on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Mark a child as shared and invite the family through iCloud. Grandparents see every new drawing as it arrives, and can add the ones made at their house. Everything else stays yours alone. FIND ANYTHING Search by title, maker, tag, year or medium. Tap a colour to see every work of that colour, closest first. Type "blue" beside a name and you have that child's blue pictures. BRING IT IN FROM ANYWHERE The camera, your photos, files, a shared link, or a museum's open collection. On the Mac, drop files onto the window; on iPhone and iPad, share into Atelier from any app. A page saved from the web keeps a note of where it came from.
