- About ArtistAssistApp
ArtistAssistApp lets you share a link to your color set between your devices or with your friends. You can also share color sets between your devices by scanning the QR code.
The app saves color sets, recent photos, and palettes on your device and restores them when you reopen the app. For privacy reasons, no data is transmitted or stored on servers. Therefore, your color sets will not sync between your devices automatically. But ArtistAssistApp provides some quick and easy ways to transfer color sets from one device to another.
ArtistAssistApp does not use cookies, but some web browsers when clearing cookies actually clear the entire storage. Therefore, it is important to have a backup of your color sets.
Sharing a color set using the link
To get a sharable link to your color set, press the Share button on the Color set tab.
Here's an example of a link to a color set: https://app.artistassistapp.com/?t=1&b=a&c10=ji_kb_kc_ka_jl_jm_jo_k5_jq_jt_jr_js_ju_jw_k9_jv_jx_jz_kg_k1_k2_k0_k3_k4
You can transfer a link to your color set from your smartphone to your computer, email the link to yourself to keep it in your inbox, or save it as a note in the cloud (like Google Keep).
Sharing a color set using the QR code
You can also share color sets between your devices by scanning the QR code.
To import your color set to another device, click the Share button. A QR code will appear that you can scan on other devices to import the color set to those devices.
Open ArtistAssistApp on the other device you want to import the color set to. Click the Scan QR Code button. Provide a one-time camera permission and scan the QR code. This method works on any device with a camera: smartphone, tablet, laptop, and even a desktop computer with a webcam.
Alternatively, scan the QR code using your smartphone or tablet's standard camera app, open the link in the QR code. Once you open the link, your new device will import your color set.
Review the imported color set on your new device and click Save & Continue.
Backing up color sets
Consider saving links to all of your color sets somewhere in your notes (like Google Keep). Or even just email it to yourself. That way even if your web browser data is cleared and all application data is lost, you can easily recover all your color sets in seconds.
You can also take a photo or screenshot of the QR code. This way, you can later scan it from the photo on your device or even print it to scan it from the printout.
