## What is Artifact?

Stop scrolling social media.
Start scrolling art.
One swipe, one masterpiece.

Artifact turns the endless feed you already love into something worth your time. Swipe through a calm, full-screen feed of paintings and the artists who made them, drawn from a vast library of public-domain art.

AN INFINITE FEED OF ART, NOT NOISE
• Swipe a vertical feed of full-screen paintings, the same motion as social, every card a real work.
• Switch to Artists mode to meet painters one card at a time, then walk into their full body of work.
• Your first launch lands on beloved, recognizable masters, then the feed learns what your eye loves.
• Built to feel calm and non-addictive. Look up, not down.

A WHOLE WORLD OF ART, NO DEAD ENDS
• Browse roughly 193,000 public-domain artworks and around 28,000 artists on a watercolor tile board.
• Filter by mood, culture, genre, medium, setting, movement, era, museum, or artist.
• Every artist, movement, period, genre, subject, place, group, art moment, museum, and famous collection is a real, fully populated page with its own filter.
• Tap any name and you land somewhere real. One painting always leads to the next, never a blank screen.

ONE PAINTING EVERY MORNING
• A single hand-picked painting hung fresh each day, with a full editorial showcase.
• Put it on your home screen with the Daily Painting widget.
• Keep a watercolor streak, build a Life List of what your eye has seen, and revisit recent days.
• A daily art moment surfaces what happened in art history on today's date.

A GLOBE OF THE ART WORLD
• Spin a 3D globe of 5,092 real-world venues and see where art lives worldwide.
• Use Near Me to find museums and galleries around you right now.
• Open any venue for address, hours, phone, directions, and accessibility.
• Track exhibitions you want to see and get a gentle reminder before a show closes.

LEARN TO REALLY LOOK
• Ten guided Journeys through art history, short card-reader units with real paintings and quick quizzes.
• Topics span Impressionism, the Dutch Golden Age, Renaissance Florence, Baroque, Japonisme, and more.
• How to Look at a Painting is entirely free.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Save into your own collections and attach private notes.
• Keep a Passport of museums you have visited and look back with an Art Wrapped recap.
• A For You feed learns what you like, free of charge.
• Pinch and double-tap to get nose-to-canvas with the brushwork.
• Two core watercolor palettes recolor the whole app, and an optional Sign in with Apple syncs across your devices. No sign-in wall.

TODAY FREE, THE WORLD WITHIN REACH
Today's daily painting, today's first art moment, every artist and venue page, browse, explore, scroll, the globe, and Near Me are free forever, no account required. The art is drawn from eight of the world's great open-access museums, all public-domain and CC0.
