CloudCat

Artwork cataloguing platform for artists and galleries. A serious archive that doesn't feel like admin

The CloudCat dashboard: recently added works, catalogue counts and share-link traffic

Catalogue each work — images, dimensions, editions. Share a selection as a link or PDF. Record sales & raise invoices. Publish your own website.

No card to see the demo — it's a real account, seeded and ready.

  • 01 · Catalogue

    Replace the spreadsheet, the studio notebook, the images scattered across your phone and laptop. One record per work, holding dimensions, editions and photos together.

  • 02 · Sell & invoice

    Record sales, raise invoices, keep buyers and sellers on file, send works to galleries on consignment, all tied to the work, not split between an invoicing app and a contacts list.

  • 03 · Share & publish

    Share private collections (private viewing rooms) as a link or PDF, publish them to a site we host for you, or pull the catalogue into your existing site via our API.

Send works to a gallery. Let CloudCat do the sums.

You send a dozen works to a gallery for a show. You note it in a spreadsheet and type up a list for them to sign. When they tell you what sold, you work out what you're owed on each sale: the framing and shipping come off the price, the gallery takes its commission on what's left, and you get back what you paid for the framing. CloudCat does that arithmetic for you when the gallery reports.

  1. 01 · Send

    Pick the works from your catalogue, several at a time. Name the gallery, its commission and how costs are split, and see what a sale would come to before you save.

  2. 02 · Deliver

    Print the consignment list, with each work's image, caption, price and what it settles at, for the gallery to sign when the works arrive.

  3. 03 · Out

    Every work reads Consigned out, with the gallery's name, until it comes back or sells. Nobody can offer it to someone else, or sell it twice, in the meantime.

  4. 04 · Report

    When the gallery reports, mark what sold and what came back. Each sale is recorded against the gallery with the commission and cost split carried over, and returned works are available again.

  5. 05 · Invoice

    Invoice the gallery in a click for exactly what it owes, with the working shown line by line. Once every work is back or sold, the consignment reads Closed.

5 sums for one sale, worked out for you on every work the gallery reports. The costs come off the top, so you and the gallery share them in the same ratio as the price, and what you paid for comes back to you.

Every work keeps the record of each gallery it has been with: when it went, and how it came back. A single print from an edition can go out on its own, while the rest of the run stays with you.

Media

Archive-quality images

Your archive stays print-quality, never web-compressed. Keep the original scan (up to 100MB per image) in Cloudflare's secure R2 buckets.

Collectors see a resized version sized to their device, served through Cloudflare's global CDN; the full-resolution original stays accessible only to you.

And when you add a photograph that matches one already in your catalogue, CloudCat flags it — so the same work never quietly lands twice.

Invoicing

Invoices, raised straight from the sale

CloudCat is an invoicing system too. Turn a sale into an invoice in a click. Line items pull from the works sold, with room to add anything else by hand. Numbers are generated for you, in multiple currencies, with Net 7/15/30/60 payment terms and due dates worked out automatically.

Seller and buyer details (business name, VAT and registration numbers, bank details for payment) are snapshotted onto each invoice, then exported as a clean PDF. Track every invoice from draft to sent to paid, all tied to the work and the buyer on file.

Costs work the same way. Book the framing, the casting, the crate against the work, note who paid for it and what share each side bears, and it settles itself when the work sells. Invoice a gallery you consigned to and the document shows its working: what it sold for, what came off the top, the commission on what was left, and what you're owed back.

Editions

Track every edition and multiple

Most people track editions in a spreadsheet, where an edition of 30 is 30 rows with nothing tying them together. CloudCat keeps the run and its prints as one record, so selling one piece updates what's left of the whole edition.

Walls

Plan exhibition walls.

Lay works out on a virtual wall, save the arrangement, and share it as an exhibition mock-up. Galleries see exactly what you intended, at scale and in proportion.

Exhibitions

The record of every show you've had.

Keep a proper exhibition history alongside the catalogue: each show with its venue, run dates, curator and type — solo, group, duo or art fair — the works that hung in it, and the installation photographs. The provenance a serious archive is built on, kept in step with the works themselves.

Upload your installation shots and CloudCat recognises which of your works appear in each frame, suggesting the links for you to confirm. A photograph of a crowded wall becomes a set of connected records, without you matching a single piece by hand.

Galleries

Built for galleries too.

Run your whole roster from one account. Artists work in a single workspace; galleries add staff and manage many artists side by side.

And every consignment in writing: its own number, terms, commission split and run dates, the works it covers, and a PDF for the consignor. The split is worked out per work, so when something sells you already know what is owed.

Then read the period back as a sales report: every sale for the month, what it made and what it kept, totalled per currency, with what's still to be invoiced called out. Export it as a spreadsheet, or send an artist the statement of what you sold for them and what they're owed.

Publishing

A website included, not another subscription

A site for your work usually means paying someone, somewhere, every month. With CloudCat it comes with the catalogue you already keep: nothing extra to set up, nothing extra to pay.

No building required

We host it for you

Publish at https://yourname.cloudcat.me, or point your own domain at CloudCat. Nothing to build.

For those who want control

Or feed your own site

Keep the site you already have. Read works and editions straight from the CloudCat API: a headless CMS behind a site in Webflow, Framer, or Squarespace etc, or build something with Claude.

Trust

Your data, your business.

Your data stays yours
Export your whole catalogue (works, invoices, sales, contacts and every original image) in open formats (JSON, plus your original image files), straight from the app at any time, and delete your account and everything in it whenever you like. Cancel and your data stays downloadable for 90 days before it's removed, so you always leave with your own copy. No lock-in.
Kept private
Never sold, never turned into an advertising profile. Buyer details and bank info exist only to produce your own records.
Built on solid ground
Originals stored in Cloudflare's secure R2; billing handled by Stripe, so card details never touch our servers. Sign-in is managed by WorkOS.
Independent and steady
Funded by the people who use it, not outside investors, so we answer to you and can keep CloudCat small, focused, and built to last.
