Museday

A masterpiece on your Home Screen, every morning.

Museday is an art-of-the-day app for iPhone. Each night at midnight, a new painting takes its place in your Home Screen widget — a quiet museum visit every time you unlock your phone.

One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account. Works offline.

365 days, 365 masterpieces

Van Gogh, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Renoir, Seurat, Botticelli, Klimt — and more than 240 other artists, from Renaissance altarpieces to Japanese ink painting. Every painting is built into the app, so there is nothing to download and nothing to wait for.
