From first photograph to long-term record.

Salette follows the natural life of an art inventory: capture the work, preserve its context, organize it around your own logic, and understand how the collection changes over time.

01 / Capture with precision

Add the piece while the moment is still fresh.

A good record starts when the work is in front of you. Salette keeps capture fast enough for a gallery visit, studio day, estate walk-through, or school-art save.

  • Photograph artwork or import images and files in seconds
  • Record artist, title, medium, dates, and notes as you go
  • Keep working offline when signal is not available

Camera, photo library, file import, and document scanning are built into the flow.
02 / Archive the record

Keep the practical and personal context together.

Each artwork can hold the details that usually scatter across photos, email, receipts, memory, and spreadsheets.

  • Preserve provenance, documents, links, notes, and purchase details
  • Track current value alongside original price
  • Keep the reason a piece matters close to the object record

Provenance, notes, links, pricing, and value history live with the artwork.
03 / Organize your way

Let one work belong to more than one story.

Collections are flexible, so the same piece can sit in a room, an artist group, an inherited set, a child archive, or a teaching reference without duplication.

  • Custom collections (unlimited with Premium)
  • Assign one artwork to multiple collections
  • Search and sort by the details you recorded

Organize by room, artist, year, medium, family member, or any system that fits.
04 / See through data

See the collection taking shape.

As the archive grows, Salette reveals patterns that are hard to see in a camera roll: value changes, recurring artists, acquisition rhythm, favorite groupings, and the colors you keep returning to.

  • Watch value trends across months and years
  • See artist, collection, and category patterns
  • Understand visual tendencies through color views

A tour through the app, not a promise hidden behind decoration.

The screenshots are the proof: Salette is built around real records, readable collections, and useful long-term context.

Questions before you download.

Straight answers about saving kids' art, sync, devices, and pricing.

Is Salette an art collection or inventory app?

Yes. Salette is a catalog for personal art collections on iPhone and iPad. You can record each piece's artist, dates, medium, documents, value history and photos, organize pieces into collections, and export your records (Premium). Many parents also use it to keep their kids' artwork.

Can I export or delete what I've saved?

Yes. You can export collection data for backup, analysis, or sharing. Inside the app you can also delete individual works or entire collections whenever you choose.

How does sync work, and do I need a Salette account?

Salette stores your collection on your device first. Optional sync uses your own iCloud account across Apple devices. There is no Salette account, and Salette does not have access to your private iCloud data.

Which devices does Salette support?

Salette is built for iPhone and iPad and works offline. Creating a 3D scan needs a supported LiDAR-capable iPhone or iPad; saved models open in QuickLook AR.

What does Salette cost?

Salette is free to download on the App Store, with optional in-app purchases: Monthly Premium at $1.99 and Yearly Premium Access at $19.99.

Is Salette a good fit for children's artwork?

Yes. Salette is built as a kids art keepsake: save drawings, crafts, and school projects with photos, notes, and collections organized by child, year, or family story—without creating an account.

Made for people who care about what they keep.

Salette is not trying to name every possible buyer. It is built for a few real collection habits that need better memory and better structure.

Collectors

For provenance, value, and insurance context.

Keep acquisition notes, pricing, current value, links, and collection history in one private archive.

Families

For children's artwork and inherited pieces.

Save the work that would otherwise live in boxes, photo rolls, or memory, organized by child, year, room, or family story.

Artists and galleries

For inventory that still feels visual.

Track bodies of work, exhibition context, sales notes, and consignment details without losing sight of the art.

Educators

For teaching collections and reference libraries.

Build practical visual sets around period, movement, technique, class, or any structure that helps students see patterns.
