One painting a day.
Told like a story.

Everyday A Painting reveals one painting every day — held behind a mist until you uncover it with a touch. A calm ritual for looking closely, one masterpiece at a time.

Built for iPhone. App Store release in progress.

The daily reveal

Hold to reveal.

Today's painting waits behind a mist. Press and hold, and it surfaces under your fingertip — a small ceremony that makes each artwork feel discovered, not delivered.

One a day — a single masterpiece, never a feed.
Yours to uncover — the reveal only happens once, by your hand.
Then it begins — watch the story to collect the painting.

Story mode

Then the story begins.

The painting opens full screen and a short guided story walks you through it — one thought at a time, lighting up word by word while a cinematic camera moves across the canvas.

Written to be read — what to notice, why it matters, how it holds together.
Camera as guide — Stańczyk's clenched hands, the letter on the table, the ball behind him.
At your pace — tap to continue, hold to see the artwork alone.

Painting stories

See how it works

The daily rail

A summer of masterpieces.

Every revealed day stays on the rail. Swipe back through Renoir, Cassatt, van Gogh, Seurat, Caravaggio — your own history of looking, one painting at a time.

From the world's great museums — the Met, Chicago, Cleveland, and more.
Every era — Baroque drama to Impressionist light.

Expositions

Keep what stays with you.

Watch a story and the painting joins your gallery. Save the paintings you love and complete Expositions — curated sets like Drama in Motion, where Stańczyk sits beside Ophelia and The Last Day of Pompeii.

Curated sets — by artist, era, museum, movement, and theme.
Complete them — fourteen of fourteen feels like closing a catalogue.

Progression

Make looking a habit.

A quiet chain of days spent with art. Streaks mark the rhythm, Expositions mark the depth — a 52-day run reads like a season well spent.

Streaks — every revealed day adds a link.
Progress you can see — collected counts fill in, set by set.

Monthly view

Look back over your month.

A calendar where every day keeps its painting. June fills wall-to-wall like a contact sheet of masterpieces — a month of art you can flip back through like the pages of a catalogue.

Every day counts — revealed paintings live on their date.
No feeds, no noise — one artwork, its story, a quiet minute of your day.

What it is
