Painted Day
iPhone · iOS 26+

Your day,
painted.

Painted Day is a painting that paints itself across your day. The canvas is blank when your day begins and, stroke by stroke, the work is complete when it ends. Tap it to keep a moment in gold leaf; when the day closes, the painting is signed and hangs in your gallery.

Painted Day: today's painting on a dark gallery wall under a warm lamp, a watercolor of misty blue mountains half painted, with a fleck of gold leaf marking a moment on the blank half of the canvas

A clock that doesn't look like one

How much of the painting is done is how much of your day has passed — you can tell at a glance, without a single number.

🖌️Painted live, stroke by strokeAn invisible brush paints in real time, so there is always a stroke in progress. Open the app in the middle of the day and the painting catches up in a few seconds.
✨Keep a moment in gold leafTap the painting and a fleck of gold leaf lands where the brush was, with its time and an optional one-word note.
🖼️A gallery of your daysWhen your day closes, the painting is signed with its number and date and hangs in a calendar of finished works, with the moments of that day.
🎨Six ways to paintWatercolor and Ink take turns each day. Pointillism, Loom, Cross-stitch and Color fields join with the Complete Atelier, along with choosing the style of each day.
🎞️An image or a timelapseExport the painting as an image, or as a 15-second vertical timelapse of it painting itself, then share it or save it to Photos.
📱Today's painting at a glanceA widget in small, medium and large sizes — the small one also in StandBy — shows how far today's painting has come without opening the app.

The story behind Painted Day

A clock tells you what time it is. It rarely tells you how much of your day you have already lived.

Painted Day makes the day visible. You set your hours — 8 AM to 10 PM by default — and a painting fills them: at 3 PM it is half done, and at the close of your day it is complete. Each painting comes from that day's date and a random seed kept on your iPhone, so no two days look alike, and an update never changes a painting you already have. Every stroke is drawn by the app's own algorithms on your iPhone — no AI, no cloud.

It is made to stay on a stand next to your desk: the screen stays awake while the painting is open, the controls hide on their own, and turned sideways the painting hangs framed on a gallery wall next to its museum label. No account, no ads. In English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Made in Mexico by Christian Irack at Ingeniería.dev.
