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

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

Artwork detail view showing notes, dates, price, color palette, and value history — 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.

Create unlimited custom collections
Assign one artwork to multiple collections
Search and sort by the details you recorded

Collections view showing custom collections with piece counts and pin indicators — 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

Analytics view showing value trends, collection breakdown, and insights — Insight comes from the records you already want to keep.

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.

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.

Made by a person, from a real request.

Salette began as a friend's practical idea and grew into a small Apple-native app for keeping the records that matter around the art people actually live with.
