swity gives a physical artwork a digital second half. You build a page about one piece of work in the app: a cover photograph, the story behind it, a gallery of the frames that did not make the cut, a line somebody said about it, a video, and a voice note in your own words. The sections go in any order. Publish, and swity creates a code for that piece. Print the card as a PDF, or hold a blank NFC sticker to your iPhone and the link writes itself. The code goes on the wall beside the work. Someone standing in front of your photograph scans it. The page opens in their browser. No app to install, no account, no sign-up, nothing to dismiss. They read what the wall could not tell them, and from there they can reach the rest of your work, your links, or wherever you sell prints. WHAT GOES ON A PAGE Text, a quote, a photo gallery, a YouTube video, a card pointing at another of your published pieces, and a Where and When section holding the venue, the date, your camera or your materials, and a pin on the map. One voice note per page, recorded in the app or uploaded. THE CODE ON THE WALL A print-ready QR card as a PDF , and NFC writing built in. On a paid plan one piece can carry up to five codes, so the same work hanging in two places is counted separately. WHAT YOU LEARN How many times each code was scanned and how many times the page was opened, over a week, a month, six months or a year, for one piece or for everything you have published. Plain numbers, no dashboard to learn. EXHIBITIONS Group several pieces into one show with its own public page, its own venue and its own dates. Work in a show sits together under its name in your list. YOUR PUBLIC PROFILE One page at swity.app under your own handle, carrying your photograph, your role, your bio, your links and everything you have published. Codes you have already printed keep working if you change your handle. CHECKED BEFORE IT GOES LIVE Every photograph and every line of text is reviewed for safety before a page can be published, and the check runs on our servers rather than on the phone. Nothing becomes public until it passes. BUILT QUIETLY No feed, no follower count, no algorithm, no advertising. You are not shown other people's work and they are not shown yours. Whoever scans your code is never asked to sign up for anything. PLANS swity is free for two published pieces, each with one code. Plus raises that to ten pieces and Max to thirty. Both allow up to five codes per piece and remove the small swity mark from your published pages. The price is shown in the app before you buy. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple Account. Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings.
