Shows close, labels come down, and a month later your art photos have no names. Artoto is an art identifier and art journal for museums and galleries. Snap the artwork and its wall label, and Artoto reads the title, artist, year and medium and files it in your private art collection with the date and, when it can tell, the venue. Paintings, sculpture, photography, installations and prints all work the same way.
No wall label, as at many galleries? Artoto's artwork recognition compares your photo with images online and suggests an artist and title, marked for review until you confirm them.
HOW IT WORKS
• Scan the artwork: add up to four photos or short videos per piece, label included, from the full view to the smallest detail.
• Scan the label: Artoto reads the title, artist, year and medium, plus dimensions when the label lists them.
• Save and keep looking: Artoto catalogs the piece in the background, and details usually fill in within a minute once you're online. New pieces wait in one review list so you can check them.
EXHIBITIONS: WHAT'S ON NOW
On View lists current museum and gallery exhibitions in New York and London, on a map or as a list. See what just opened, what's closing soon and what's opening next, get directions, and save the exhibitions you want to catch.
FEATURES
• Label reader: turns museum and gallery wall labels into clean catalog entries, even bilingual ones.
• Plain-English summaries: a few friendly sentences on what you're looking at.
• Venue detection: Artoto suggests the museum or gallery you're in, from your location or the label.
• Art collections: organize pieces by exhibition, trip, artist or theme.
• Search: find any piece by title, artist, medium, venue, city or your own notes.
• Notes: write down what stayed with you. Notes are never shown on share pages or Discover.
• Art map: see where you've seen art, pinned from each piece's location.
• Your art stats: artworks, collections and cities so far, plus your favorite artist, at a glance.
• Bulk import: pick art photos from your photo library. Artoto separates artworks from labels, groups them by piece and catalogs each one.
• Works offline: capture with no signal. Uploads and cataloging pick up when you're back online.
• Phones, tablets and foldables: a layout that uses the bigger screen on tablets and unfolded foldables.
SHARE AND DISCOVER
• Send a single artwork or a whole collection as a web page anyone can open.
• Share an artwork to Instagram Stories with a ready-made Artoto template, or save it to your photos.
• Make a collection public so other art lovers can find it on Discover. Browse public artworks and collections, filter by medium, search by artist or city, save favorites, and like or comment on public artworks.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
New artworks and collections start private, and nothing reaches Discover until you choose to share. A public collection shows on Discover with everything saved in it, and an artwork you share by link can also be found in Discover search.

• Museum-goers with a camera roll full of half-remembered art
• Gallery hoppers keeping up with exhibitions across the city
