Artist first
A cozy home for independent artists.
The Cottage keeps artists at the center. Their names, stories, and links sit right beside their work. Credit where it’s due, and then some.

Yours, offline
Added packs are saved on your device and work when the Wi‑Fi doesn’t. Very cabin-appropriate.

For artists
Your art stays yours.
Artwork is published from a public GitHub repository. Artists keep ownership, set their own terms, and never pay to take part. We just keep the lights on and the fire going.
Ownership
Credit on every piece.
Every pack shows who made it, links to the artist’s pages, and lists how the work may be used. Only original, artist-made work is accepted.
Submissions
Folders, images, and a text file.
Submit a folder with your profile, a banner, and your packs as PNG images. No fees, and no special tools. Valid DMCA takedown notices will be honored.
Designed for privacy
What happens at The Cottage stays at The Cottage.
No account, no ads, no analytics. The app downloads artwork from a public catalog and keeps your packs on your device. Discretion is kind of our thing.

Free. Suspiciously so.
No paid packs, no in-app purchases, and no fees for artists. No catch. We checked twice.
