Good questions,

A few useful notes about using Art Series Planner and looking after your work.
Getting started
What is Art Series Planner for?
It is a private Android workspace for planning a cohesive series of artworks. You can record direction, palettes, materials, artworks, ideas, notes, reviews and progress in one place.
Who is it for?
Painters, illustrators, mixed media artists, students and independent creators who develop work in series.
Does it make or judge artwork?
No. It is a planning and reflection tool. It does not generate, interpret, critique or analyse artwork or attached images.
Your data
Do I need an account or internet connection?
No. The Android app works offline and has no account system.
Where is my work stored?
Your series, artworks, notes and preferences are kept in the app's private storage on your device. The developer does not receive them.
How do I back up my studio?
Open Settings, then choose Export studio backup. Android's file picker lets you choose where to save the JSON file, which includes attached images. Keep it safe because the exported file is readable and not encrypted. Use Import backup in Settings to restore a selected file.
What happens if I delete a series?
The app removes that series and its attached image copies from the device. Exported backups remain wherever you saved them until you remove those files yourself.
Images & access
Can the app see my whole photo library?
No. Android's Photo Picker gives the app access only to images you select. It keeps a resized copy of an attached image in private app storage.
Can I use the app for professional work?
Yes. The app can be used for personal or professional creative work. See the terms of use for details.
How can I contact support?
Email [email protected] or use the contact details on our contact page. Include your app version and a description of the issue; do not send private artwork or backup files unless you choose to.
