Atelier, from the same workshop

Children's drawings in oak frames on a gallery wall in Atelier

Biblio Times has a sister made in the same workshop. Atelier keeps the things worth keeping: your children's drawings framed on a gallery wall at the size they were made, your own design work laid flat on a lit desk, and public-domain paintings from The Met's open collection on a wall of their own.

Scan a drawing with the camera and Atelier finds the page, straightens it and hangs it under the lights, with the child's own title, their age when they made it and the year. Walk the wall from the oldest to the newest; a marker stands at each new year. Like the paper, it keeps everything on your own devices: the archive is an ordinary folder of the original files, and nothing is uploaded to us.

Atelier 1.2 is with Apple now. In it you choose each work's frame, oak, walnut, black, white or gilt, or none at all, with a white, cream, black or linen mat. And you can hang the wall by hand: hold a frame to lift it off the wall, and set it down where you like. On an open iPhone Duo the wall and the studio fill the inner screen.

The first 30 works are free, with every room included, and the rest is one purchase, never a subscription. Atelier is on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac. More at atelierapp.live.
