Introducing Artwork Tracker for PC

Track your artwork collection on your Windows PC – Now Available!

Artwork Tracker

Today I’m pleased to announce the release of my new Windows PC app, Artwork Tracker. This is my artwork tracking tool already available for iOS and Mac.

The PC version is similar to the Mac version and has many of the same features as the iOS version, with the addition of printing, enhanced search capabilities, and data transfer to and from the iOS version over WiFi. I’ve also included some other features like duplicating entries, right-click context menus, and a host of other tweaks and improvements. Artwork Tracker for PC also has a built-in crash-reporting mechanism and software update notifications.

To run Artwork Tracker on your PC, you’ll need either Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 / 8.1, or Windows 10. The app also requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 with the KB2468871 update patch. These are already included with Windows 8 or higher.

The download version initially runs in an unregistered trial mode, limited to 5 artworks with 5 photos each, 5 clients, and 5 submissions. It will also only allow a single database window, and database import is disabled. The full feature-set can be unlocked via purchase, either within the app or via my Web Store.

Artwork Tracker now available on the Mac App Store

Artwork Tracker for Mac

Today I’m pleased to announce that Artwork Tracker for Mac is now available on the Mac App Store.

Artwork Tracker is a productivity app for artists, art collectors, and art dealers to keep track of their art collections. Whereas other apps might focus solely on photo organization, Artwork Tracker also has the working artist in mind, with features to allow tracking of the pertinent creation details of a particular artwork, along with records of art submissions to clients.

Artwork Tracker for Mac brings the features of the iOS app to the Mac platform, with some nice new additions including Address Book and vCard drag-and-drop, improved photo organization, database transfer to and from the iOS version, and printing capabilities. If you’ve got a Mac with Retina display, you’ll also enjoy how Artwork Tracker looks in high-resolution.

To run Artwork Tracker, you’ll need a Mac with either Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.6), Lion (OS X 10.7.x), or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x).

Download on the Mac App Store

A free trial version is available for download from my site. The trial version is limited to 5 artworks with 5 photos each, 5 clients, and 5 submissions. In trial mode you can only have a single database window open at a time, and database import is disabled.

If you’d prefer to purchase direct from the developer rather than the Mac App Store, you may purchase a license either within the trial version of the app or via the Web Store. This unlocks the complete functionality, equivalent to the Mac App Store version. It also includes an updating mechanism, so you’ll get early access to new features and bug fixes.

You can find more details including screenshots and the full list of features here.

I hope artists and art collectors around the world find Artwork Tracker to be a useful and enjoyable app, and I welcome any feature suggestions or comments you may have. And if you can spare a moment, please review the app on the Mac App Store and let others know what you think.

Artwork Tracker for Mac Preview

Track your artwork collection on your Mac – Coming Soon!

Back in May I announced Artwork Tracker for Mac. The app has reached the point where I’m now able to give you an early look at how things are coming along. This is close to the final interface, and as you can see, it’s designed to look similar to the iOS version.

The Mac version will include some additional features like printing and support for Mac Retina displays. You’ll also be able to transfer data between the Mac and iOS versions over WiFi.

I’m planning to release Artwork Tracker for Mac for direct sale on my website, as well as through the Mac App Store. There’ll also be a free trial version available for download, with similar limitations to the iOS Lite version.

Announcing Artwork Tracker for Mac

Artwork Tracker for Mac

In late 2010 I released Artwork Tracker for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. As the name suggests, Artwork Tracker is a mobile artwork tracking app, specifically designed for artists, art collectors, and art dealers. Ever since it was released I’ve had people wondering when it might be coming to other platforms. I’ve always said a Mac version was a possibility, but until recently I hadn’t worked on any Mac apps.

Over the last year I’ve released two Mac apps: Story Tracker and Bonsai Album. I’m pleased with how they turned out, so lately I’ve been giving some serious thought to bringing Artwork Tracker to the Mac.

Well, today I’ve decided to commence working on Artwork Tracker for Mac! I’m planning to bring it to the Mac App Store and will also offer it for direct purchase via my website. I don’t have a firm release date planned just yet, but I’m tentatively aiming for release later in 2013.

The Mac version of Artwork Tracker will contain many of the same features of the iOS app, with the addition of photo organization, enhanced search, and printing capabilities. It will also include support for Mac Retina displays, and you’ll be able to transfer data to and from the iOS version. While I don’t yet have any screenshots available, you can get a pretty good idea of how it’ll look by the Bonsai Album for Mac screenshots.

If you’re interested in learning more about Artwork Tracker for Mac, visit the Artwork Tracker Facebook page or sign up here to be notified via email when the app launches. I’m keen to get started on Artwork Tracker for Mac, and I look forward to providing more information closer to launch!
