Docently
One painting a day, with a docent to walk you through it.
About
One painting a day — the easiest way to fall in love with art.
Docently brings you a hand-picked masterpiece every day, narrated by an AI docent like a guided museum tour. No art background needed. In just a few minutes — on your commute or before bed — you can truly meet a painting and the story behind it.
• Today's Painting
A new masterpiece arrives daily. Why the artist made it, the era it belongs to, the symbols hidden in the frame — your AI docent tells it all as a story.
• AI Docent Narration
Instead of dry facts, each guide focuses on the work's story and hidden secrets, so even first-time art lovers stay curious to the end. (Narration is generated by an AI docent.)
• Viewing Streak
View one painting a day and watch your streak grow. Small habits add up — soon you'll have met hundreds of masterpieces.
• Archive
Revisit past paintings and a vast collection of masterpieces anytime.
• Curated Public-Domain Masterpieces
Works are drawn primarily from public-domain masterpieces, so you can enjoy the great masters with peace of mind.

Version history
Every release since 1.0.
- Choosing a language now switches the interface too, not just the narration.
- English, Japanese, Spanish, French, German and Chinese are supported.
- Improved the viewing screen: the description and the previous/next arrows now stay fully visible even for very tall paintings, and the share button moved into the viewing screen so you can share right after seeing the work.
- Fixed an issue where the viewing-story video would never finish generating. Vertical story videos are now created reliably for every painting and ready to share.
- You can now share today’s masterpiece as a “viewing story” video: it opens on the whole painting, then zooms into each docent focus point with its narration — a vertical reel (with a QR code) made for Instagram Stories/Reels. The share cards also got a more spacious, elegant redesign.
- Refined the share screen so it is clearly a share preview. Share today's masterpiece as a beautiful Instagram Story/Feed card with a QR code, and paintings you finish now reliably appear in My Record. Includes daily reminders and pull-to-refresh.
- Fixed: paintings you finish viewing now reliably appear in My Record. Also added a daily reminder, pull-to-refresh, and beautiful Instagram Story/Feed share cards with a QR code.
- Minor improvements.
- Bug fixes and stability improvements, including a fix for an issue where the daily artwork and archive could appear empty for some returning users.
