A private archive for painters

Every painting. Numbered, recorded, remembered

Photograph each work, give it a permanent catalogue number, and keep the record of a lifetime of painting: the red dot, the price, and the buyer, when a work finds its home.

Free for your first 25 works. No card, no time limit, and your archive stays yours either way.

What the archive keeps

A catalogue raisonné, not a camera roll

DV-0001 Catalogue numbers

Every work receives a permanent accession number the day it enters the archive. It is the same system museums use, so two paintings with the same title are never confused again.

The red dot

Mark a work sold the way a gallery does. Record the date, the price, and the buyer, or as much as you know, and the sale history stays with the painting forever.

Photo bundles

A lifetime of existing work is welcome. Select a whole camera roll and each photo becomes its own record, ready to be titled whenever you have a quiet hour.

How it works

From studio wall to permanent record in under a minute

Photograph the work

Straight from your phone, the moment the varnish dries. The archive corrects rotation and stores a full-size copy.

Record the details

Title, year, medium, dimensions, and anything worth remembering. Your catalogue number is assigned automatically.

Place the red dot

When a work sells, one tap records the sale. Search your whole archive by title, medium, year, or buyer, and export the full register any time.

Davinchi Archives is in private release. Accounts are created personally for each artist, and founding members keep their rate for as long as their archive lives here. If you reach 25 works on the free plan, everything you've catalogued stays exactly where it is. Upgrading is only ever about adding more.

Why we built it

It began with one painter's garage

Hundreds of canvases, decades of work, and no record of what existed or where it went. The first archive was built for our family. The rest are built the same way: one artist, one catalogue, kept properly.
