This app helps you encounter artworks and record how they made you feel. When you open the app, a randomly selected artwork is displayed. You can view each work and choose whether to move on to the next piece or save it as a personal record. For artworks you choose to keep, you can leave a short note. Saved artworks and notes are stored in your personal archive, organized by date and available to revisit at any time. Notes can also be edited or added to later. There are no ratings, rankings, or social features. The app offers a quiet, personal space to preserve your own impressions of art.
