Artful North is a pocket compass dressed in art — and the everyday tools you actually reach for when you’re out, at home, or on a job. Beauty in every bearing. A living dial sits at the center of the experience: brass or pewter chrome, soft rose in the open well, and a gallery of ornate medallions you can spin onto the face. The looks aren’t flat stickers. They’re framed pieces — gold rings, rich scenes, miniature treasures that turn orientation into something you enjoy looking at. WHAT’S INSIDE • Compass — smooth heading readout with magnetic or true north, brass and pewter dial chrome, and a deep gallery of art looks for the dial center • Spirit level — quick bubble checks when a shelf, picture, or surface needs to be true • Metal detector — sense nearby ferrous objects with a clear gauge and haptic feedback • Flashlight — phone torch when you need light without hunting for a separate light COMPASS ART PACKS Unlock curated collections of dial medallions. Eight packs, 250+ looks: • Art & Literature — museum classics, music, and literary icons • Fantasy and Mythology — dragons, legends, and folklore • Spirituality & Religion — sacred symbols and contemplative art • Architecture & Monuments — landmarks and monuments on the rose • Vehicles & Machinery — aircraft, engines, ships, and machines of motion • Science & Nature — space, wildlife, and celestial instruments • Astrology & Mysticism — zodiac, tarot, and mystical dial looks • Nautical — ocean life and seafaring creatures Brass and Pewter dials are free. Explore the gallery, try what’s included, then unlock individual packs — or All Art Packs + Ad Removal for the full collection without ads. BUILT FOR PRESENCE Artful North is for people who want utility with atmosphere: a compass that feels like it belongs in a cabinet of curiosities, not a settings menu. Use it to find your bearing on a walk, check a frame on the wall, hunt a stud-side magnetic clue, or light a dark corner — then come back because the dial looks like art. Compass art packs. Pocket tools. Beauty in every bearing. Artful North by Appfinity Mobile
