## What is Khyenpa?

Khyenpa is a public register of one-of-a-kind things: one painting, one building, one instrument, one car. Every entry gets a permanent ID, like KH-001901, that is never reissued and never points at anything else.

Browse more than 22,000 records across 52 divisions, from paintings and sculpture to pipe organs, bridges, aircraft and boats. Each one opens on its pictures and carries its facts, its sources and its credits.

FIND ANYTHING
- Search by name, by maker, or by KH number
- Browse a division, sorted by newest, most viewed or fastest growing
- Read a record in full: its typed facts, every image, where it came from and who made it

REGISTER YOUR OWN WORK
- Made something? Register it from your iPhone in a few minutes
- The form adapts to what you are registering, and shows what is left to fill in
- Add photos straight from your library; location data is removed from every photo
- Publish, and your work receives its permanent ID on the spot

CLAIM WHAT YOU MADE
If you made a thing someone else registered, claim it. Once staff confirm it, the record shows you as its maker.

EVERY RECORD CARRIES ITS SOURCES
Seeded entries come from openly licensed public sources, and each one shows its attribution, its licence and a link to where it came from. Anyone can suggest a correction.

WHAT IT IS NOT
Nothing is sold and nothing is for sale. There are no ads and no third-party tracking, and reading the register needs no account.

WHO IT IS FOR
Artists and makers recording their own work. Collectors recording provenance. Museum lovers, archivists and anyone who wants a lasting public record of one particular thing.

Registered once. Kept forever.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-11-06

A new app icon, made for Liquid Glass. The stupa, the sun and the mountains now sit in their own layers and catch the light, and the icon has its own Dark, Clear and Tinted looks on the Home Screen.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-06

Entries open on the work. A record now starts with its picture, and you can swipe between its images anywhere on it while the thumbnail strip keeps pace. The facts sit on clear panels below, and the description reads in full.

Registering a thing is shorter and clearer. A progress card shows what is left to fill in, photos from your iPhone upload first time, and a draft you no longer want can be deleted.

Profiles read at a glance. A person's details and counts share one panel, and you can pin the entries you want seen first.

Also in this version:
- Creating an account asks for your password twice
- Carousels move only while they are on screen
- Categories has a find box
- Emails from Khyenpa arrive in Khyenpa's own layout
- Security and reliability improvements throughout

### 1.0.0 — 2026-09-15

No release notes.
