The Catalyst Art app

Your collection, in hand

Every work your advisor places and acquires for you — its image, its history, its papers, its worth — kept privately in your pocket. On iPhone and iPad.

A guided tour

Everything your collection needs, nothing it doesn’t

Scroll to walk through the app, screen by screen.

01Your collection

Every work, in one place

Your whole collection at a glance. Search by work or artist, sort and filter, and keep a private list of the pieces you keep returning to.

02The piece, in full

The whole life of a piece

Open any work for its full record — medium, dimensions, condition and edition, its provenance and papers, where it hangs, and what it’s worth today. Pinch to read the brushwork.

03Presentation rooms

Viewings, curated for you

Your advisor sets works aside just for you and arranges them like a private show — yours to step into, and revisit, whenever you like.

  • Curated for you
  • Revisit any time

04Step inside

Tell them what moves you

Move through the viewing one work at a time and react — love it, maybe, or pass. Your advisor sees it the moment you do.

  • Love · Maybe · Pass

05A direct line

Your advisor, one message away

One private thread. Ask about a piece, share a photo, point to a specific work — and pick up right where you left off.

  • Tag a work

06Kept in the loop

A quiet word when it matters

A gentle notification when a viewing opens, a document arrives, or your advisor writes. Never noise.

  • New documents
  • Messages

All in one place

Everything a collection carries

  • Provenance

    The ownership and exhibition history of each work, laid out clearly.

  • Valuations

    The appraisals on record for each piece, in the currency you hold it in.

  • Where it hangs

    Every work mapped to its place — a room, storage, or out on loan.

  • Documents

    Certificates, appraisals, and invoices — the papers that travel with each piece.

  • Bookmarks

    Keep a private shortlist of the works you keep coming back to.

  • The artists

    Bios and more works by the hands behind your collection.

  • Share with your people

    A private, read-only view for your insurer, accountant, or estate planner.

  • Yours alone

    Visible only to you and your advisor — and locked behind Face ID.

Made for the big screen too

Your whole collection, gallery-scale on iPad

The same app, laid out for the larger screen — the entire collection as a wall you take in at a glance, and every piece opened beside its full record. Turn the iPad and it spreads to fill the space.

Every detail, side by side

On iPad, a work opens as a two-column view — the image at gallery scale on one side, its medium, dimensions, provenance, valuation and story on the other. Nothing to scroll past; it’s all in view.
