Discover Your Collection in a Whole New Way

COLLECTION COVERS & AI ART
Personalize every collection with custom covers—choose your own images, generate unique AI artwork, or pick from symbols and color themes.

GALLERY WALL VIEW
Browse your favorites in an authentic salon-style masonry layout that respects each artwork's natural proportions.

COLOR INTELLIGENCE
See your collection through color. Automatic extraction reveals dominant palettes, discovers works with similar schemes, and visualizes your entire collection as an interactive Color Constellation.

MULTI-IMAGE GALLERIES
Capture every angle. Add multiple photos per artwork and swipe through them in beautiful expanded detail views.

ANALYTICS UPGRADES
Tap any chart on iPad explore full-screen with complete controls. New semantic color theming creates a polished, cohesive visual experience.

COMPLETE BACKUP & RESTORE
New Export/Import 2.0 preserves everything—all images, collection covers, value history, and links. Move between devices or create peace-of-mind backups with one tap.

Plus: Enhanced filtering, smarter date validation, grid/list view switching, and performance improvements throughout.

Discover your collection in new ways. We've added a shuffle button to your favorites section so you can easily mix up which pieces are featured on your dashboard. Plus, search is now faster and smoother thanks to improved performance tuning, and we've made the thumbnail grid look even better on iPad with smarter spacing and sizing. Smashed lots of bugs, better performance overall, and laying the groundwork for more features in the future.

What's New in Version 2025.12

Multi-Image Galleries
Document every detail of your collection. Attach multiple photos to each artwork—capture the full piece, zoom in on signatures and texture, document condition over time, or save installation shots from different exhibitions. Easily designate which image displays as the primary view in lists and grids.

Refined Design System
Experience a more cohesive visual language throughout the app. Choose from customizable color harmony palettes (monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split-complementary, and triadic) that make your collection look stunning on any device. Every screen features enhanced spacing, typography, and component styling.

Optimized for iPad
Art Tracker now takes full advantage of larger screens. We've refined layouts with adaptive content insets, smarter column breakpoints for responsive grids, and iPad-specific spacing that makes browsing your collection more immersive. Navigation patterns feel natural whether you're on iPhone or iPad.

Dashboards & Analytics Enhancements
Your collection overview is more informative and visually appealing. Enhanced stat cards with better visual hierarchy, improved chart interactions and transitions, and refined time-range filtering help you understand your collection's value and growth at a glance.

Smarter CloudKit Sync
Keep your collection in sync across all your devices with improved reliability. Enhanced sync status visibility, better error recovery, and more robust handling of complex relationships mean your data is always where you need it.

Improved First-Run Experience
Getting started is easier than ever. Smart data detection automatically discovers existing collections (local or iCloud), and new users can explore with realistic sample artworks. The onboarding flow clearly guides you through setup options.

Performance & Polish
Everything feels faster and more responsive. Optimized image loading with smart thumbnail generation, reduced memory usage, smoother scrolling through large collections, and lazy loading for efficient performance.

Under the Hood
Lots of squashed bugs. Enhanced error handling and recovery across the entire app. Memory pressure monitoring for improved image management.

Art Tracker continues to evolve as your trusted companion for managing, documenting, and celebrating your art collection.

Salette 2025.11.1 builds on our recent Value History release with powerful refinements for collectors who care about documentation, clarity, and reliability.

NEW
• Document Scanning Replacing Camera: Use your camera to scan artwork itself. Salette automatically crops and cleans the scan so you can get high quality captures every time — especially for those kids paintings that have been rolled up or are hard to get perfectly flat!
• Refined iPad Layouts: The art detail experience on iPad now uses a card‑based layout that makes metadata, images, and value information easier to read at a glance.
• Updated Add/Edit Screen: The Add/Edit Art view has been redesigned with a card‑style layout for clearer grouping of images, dates, financials, and notes, making data entry smoother and less error‑prone.

ENHANCED
• Smarter Analytics: Behind the scenes, analytics and value history calculations have been tuned for more consistent, time‑range‑aware metrics, so charts feel more aligned with how your collection actually behaves over weeks, months, and years.
• Widget Improvements: Home Screen widgets now render artwork thumbnails with better image quality and more reliable updates over time, so your collection looks as good on your Home Screen as it does in the app.
• Navigation & Readability: Continuing our navigation modernization work, we’ve polished layouts and spacing throughout the app so key actions are easier to reach and information is easier to scan.

UNDER THE HOOD
• Performance tuning across the app, especially in data‑heavy views and analytics.
• Expanded automated test coverage to keep future updates stable as the feature set grows.
• Numerous small fixes and visual cleanups you might not notice individually, but that add up to a smoother, more trustworthy experience.

Thank you for using Salette to organize and understand your art collection. If you’re enjoying the app, a quick rating or review in the App Store helps a lot.
