TORUKAZAR is an art viewing journal for the works you encounter in museums — snap, hang, talk, and weave. [Snap] Photograph the artwork and its caption (the info label beside it). Artist, title, and year are read automatically. No note-taking needed. [Hang] Oak, walnut, or gilt — choose a frame, and the work hangs on your wall. Arrange by visit, by artist, by city. A permanent collection of your own grows in your pocket. [Talk] Join a gallery talk with AI curators, each with a different specialty: technique, history, poetry, philosophy, play. Today's curator draws out your words and deepens your own reading of the work. [Weave] What you felt stays as a Note. Each time you look, your record of seeing grows a little more. Turn your Notes into beautiful bookmarks and share them. [Membership (optional)] All core features are free. For those who want to talk more, paid tiers (Friend, Supporter, Patron) offer more gallery talks. Members can issue invitations to bring the people they care about into TORUKAZAR. Art history is made by those who see. [Terms & Privacy] EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://torukazar.com/privacy
