Gallery Daily

A masterpiece on your iPhone, every day.

Each morning your lock screen becomes a different painting — Vermeer's quiet light, Van Gogh's cypresses, Hokusai's wave — drawn from the open collections of the world's great museums. Tap into the app and you'll find the story behind the work: who painted it, when, and why it matters.

How it works

  1. Install Gallery Daily. The app curates a small private album of ten museum-quality wallpapers, cropped for your screen.
  2. Point iOS Photo Shuffle at it. A one-time, two-minute setup — the app walks you through every tap.
  3. Wake up to art. iOS rotates the wallpaper daily; Gallery Daily quietly keeps the album fresh and tells you about each piece.

The collection

Every work is in the public domain, sourced from the open-access programs of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago, reproduced in full fidelity and credited to its museum.
