For iPhone, iPad and Mac

## Show what you have.

A calm website for your collection, your work or your stock, made on your own devices and published at your own address. Visitors look, search, and call, text, email or visit you. No accounts, no checkout, no web admin.

For iPhone, iPad and Mac (Coming soon):
- App Store
- Mac App Store

In testing now. One purchase covers every device.

## Why it's different

- **No account, no password.** Your showcase is a key in your iCloud Keychain, on every device you own.
- **Contact is links, not forms.** Call, text, email and a map, straight from the page. Nothing a visitor types is stored.
- **Fields only you can read.** A cost price or a note, sealed with the showcase's key: not on the site, unreadable to us.
- **Two devices, one showcase.** Edit on the iPad while the iPhone is in your pocket; nobody saves over a change unseen.

## Most website builders want you to sell

Carts, checkouts, stock counts and dashboards, for things that were never going to sell with a click.

A painting, a car, a ring, a collection of instruments: what people need is to see it properly and reach you. A store builder buries that under a shop you don't want, an account you have to guard, and a web admin you have to log into.

Showcaser does the one thing well. Photograph it, describe it, publish it. The page is fast and honest, and the conversation starts with a call, a text or a visit.

## Three steps, wherever you are

1. **Photograph** — Pick the photos and video on the iPhone or iPad, or drag them in on the Mac. Every photo is resized and its location removed before anything leaves your device.
2. **Describe** — A title, a status and the fields that suit what you show: dimensions for a painting, mileage for a car, a provenance note for a piece.
3. **Publish** — One click or tap. It's live at yourname.showcaser.app or your own domain, readable on every phone and found by search engines.

## For things worth a closer look

Whether or not anything is for sale.

- **Artists and estates.** A body of work, the pictures whole and as taken, at their real sizes, on a wall you can walk along. (Layouts: /features#look)
- **Collections and archives.** Instruments, cameras, watches, books: every piece with its photos, its details and its story. (Listings: /features#listings)
- **Dealers and makers.** A stock of cars, furniture or one-offs, each marked Available, Pending or Sold, with a phone number on every page. (Statuses: /features#listings)
- **A gallery's program.** Pages for exhibitions, artists and visits beside the works, all from the same app. (Pages: /features#site)
- **Anyone with a few good things.** A house, a boat, a family's heirlooms: if it's worth a conversation, it's worth a page. (The manual: /docs)
- **Several at once.** Your own showcase and a client's, each with its own key, site and look. Switch at the top. (Showcases: /features#devices)

## A site that shows things properly

Real pages, chosen layouts, your colors and type.

- **[Cards or Gallery](/docs/layouts).** Cards for things with a price under them; Gallery for pictures whole, hung on a wall.
- **[Your own address](/docs/your-address).** Start at yourname.showcaser.app; change it any time.
- **[Real pages, found by search](/docs/what-visitors-see).** Every page is rendered on the server, with a sitemap and structured data for search.
- **[Search in the visitor's browser](/docs/search-on-the-site).** Search and category buttons run in the visitor's browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
- **[Themes, or your own](/docs/themes).** Pick a shared theme or make your own from a few colors; contrast is always kept.
- **[View on your wall](/docs/dimensions).** In the Gallery, a piece with real dimensions opens in AR at its size on iPhone and iPad.

## iPhone, iPad and Mac

There is no web admin to log into. Everything happens in the app, on whichever device is in your hand, and your showcases are on all of them.

- **[One purchase, every device](/docs/what-showcaser-is).** The same app on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and your showcases on each.
- **[Drag photos in on the Mac](/docs/drag-and-drop).** From the Finder or Photos onto a listing, or onto the list to start a new one.
- **[Side by side, or in a window](/docs/cards-and-windows).** Command-click to put a listing beside the list, or open any card in a window of its own.
- **[Keyboard shortcuts](/docs/keyboard-shortcuts).** New listing, publish, refresh and every status, from the keyboard.
- **[Several showcases](/docs/several-showcases).** Your own and a client's, each with its own key, site and listings; switch at the top.
- **[Photos and video](/docs/photos-and-video).** Photos are resized and their location removed on your device; video plays everywhere.

## Yours, and private

No account and no password: your showcase is a key in your iCloud Keychain. Visitors leave nothing behind.

- **[A recovery key](/docs/the-key).** Print it, save it in a password manager, or show it as a QR code for another device.
- **[Nothing about visitors](/docs/what-is-stored).** No tracking, no view counts, no analytics, no forms: visitors leave nothing behind.
- **[Honest pictures](/docs/honest-pictures).** Never generated, never enhanced: the photo you took, resized and nothing else.
- **[Fields only you can read](/docs/only-in-this-app).** A cost price or a note, sealed with the showcase's key: not on the site, unreadable to us.

## Beyond showing

Ideas we're exploring, not promises. Tell us which you need.

Deposits with your own payment provider: for small runs and one-offs, a way to take a deposit through a provider you already use, then arrange delivery or collection yourself. Showcaser would never hold the money or become a shop.

Several people per showcase, each with their own key: a lot attendant's phone, a store manager's iPad.
