About

iroLog

Features
Read full description

an application that extracts a five-color palette from a single daily photograph, archiving each day as color. what matters here is not what the photograph shows. it is the light, the air, the subtle shifts in mood that pass through daily life unnoticed — preserved not in words, but in color. arranged across a calendar, each palette makes visible the turning of seasons, the rhythms of a life, the movement of feeling — not as meaning, but as a continuous sensation. when a month's worth of colors accumulates, something small and quiet emerges — a work in its own right. - five colors extracted from each photo - colors recorded as HEX codes - monthly calendar view - save and share color cards - fully offline — all data stays on your device
