A drawing photo rarely keeps the date, materials, story, or stage.
Volio keeps the creative context close to the artwork.
A creative-work archive for children's art
The creative timeline for your child.
Photograph a drawing in seconds. Volio helps clean up the capture, drafts useful context with local AI, and places the work into a timeline families can search, revisit, and share.

FAQ
Questions before using Volio.
Is Volio a photo album?
No. Volio is built around children's creative work: capture, context, timeline, search, favorites, and exports.
Does Volio keep the original image?
Yes. The local library keeps the original artwork photo along with generated thumbnails and editable metadata.
Does artwork leave the home network?
The intended beta architecture keeps photos and AI processing local to the Mac and household network.
Can I import several drawings at once?
Yes. Volio is designed around batch capture and review, so parents can process more than one artwork in a session.
Can I edit AI descriptions?
Yes. AI drafts the context; parents decide what is saved and how the work is described.
Can I create a portfolio or share card?
Volio is designed for share cards and portable portfolio exports such as PDF, ZIP, and structured backup files.
Which devices are currently required?
The beta direction uses a Mac as the local library and AI hub, with phone capture on the same home network.
