Gallery AR collects the artworks from The Art Insitute of Chicago. They released more than 50,000 artworks into the public domain in 2018, and the number will grow regularly.

QuietPage Journal
Read full descriptionHide full description
A place that shows you what you've become. QuietPage is a small, private journal built around a single idea: some questions are worth answering more than once. The app gives you one carefully written prompt a day. Twelve of those prompts are Mirror questions โ quiet recurring questions that come back across weeks and months. When you finish writing one, QuietPage shows you what you said the last few times you answered it. Side by side. Silent. It is the small, private moment that no other journal gives you: the chance to read your past self in the act of becoming someone slightly different. โ THREADS โ A few questions return on purpose. Each Mirror question forms a thread of your answers over time, gathered in one place so you can read backwards through your own seasons. โ A PAGE FROM BEFORE โ Now and then, beneath today's prompt, QuietPage surfaces a single sentence from a page you wrote weeks or months ago. Quietly, without ceremony. A reason to return that isn't a reminder. โ QUIET BY DESIGN โ No streaks. No badges. No achievements. We count returns, never broken days. We count pages, never goals missed. The only number QuietPage shows you is the one that grows. โ PRIVATE BY DEFAULT โ Every page lives only on your device. There is no account. There is no cloud. There are no analytics, no third-party services, no telemetry. Face ID keeps the app yours. When you export your pages, they leave on your terms โ as plain text or Markdown, going wherever you send them โ and any export can be restored. A page you delete rests for 30 days before it's gone for good. โ ONE QUIET NUDGE โ If you choose, QuietPage will gently remind you once a day, at the time you set. No streaks to lose. No urgency. Just a small note that the page is open. โ FEATURES โ โข A new question each day, drawn from a curated set of 50 โข 12 Mirror questions that return, threading your answers over time โข The Echo: read your earlier answers right after writing a new one โข A page from before: ambient quotes from your own past โข Three paper themes โ Parchment, Linen, Dusk โ each with light and dark โข Face ID lock with adjustable relock grace โข Optional daily reminder at the time you choose โข Export as plain text or Markdown, and restore from any export โข Search every page, with the words you return to and the days you wrote them โข Recently deleted: 30 days to change your mind โข Pages that age: older pages sit on older paper โข Larger text, Reduce Motion and VoiceOver, throughout โข Universal โ iPhone and iPad QuietPage is a place to think out loud, slowly. A small page kept just for you.
