Ezel is a feed of generative art. Swipe through it like any feed, then curate what catches your attention. SCROLL A full-screen stream of generative art, rendered live on the phone. Tap the art to interact with it, tap the title for the artist, the story and the edition. SAVE AND CURATE Like it, save it, and group what you've saved into curations. Saved is the collection; curations are the rooms. SEARCH Every artist and collection in the catalogue, or paste a contract address and open the collection. PLAY IT ON THE TV Mirror to any AirPlay screen and the art fills it. Save a piece as a wallpaper, or add the Ezel Gallery widget and let a collection you choose rotate on your Home Screen or in StandBy. JOIN THE CONVERSATION Comments on every piece, a profile with your own handle, and tracks that grow as you collect, curate and comment. Report and block are one tap away; what you report disappears for you at once, and a person reviews it. WALK THE HUNT When a hunt is running, artworks are hidden around a real place. Walk to one, reveal it in augmented reality, and capture it. Scrolling stays free. Signing in unlocks everything free for three days, with no payment details needed. After that, you can keep everything with Ezel Membership, a weekly auto-renewing subscription billed through the App Store. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple subscriptions. Ezel uses Sign in with Apple. Location and the camera are used only while a hunt is open, and your coordinates are never stored.
