Ivygate

Ivygate is a field notebook for wrought-iron gates you pass on everyday streets. Seal a plate when a latch, crest, or rust pattern catches your eye, then return to the ledger whenever you want the story of that bar again. Walk through a guided capture: name the iron style, note what lives on the bars, count silent years on the lock, and attach a photo from the library or camera. Drop a pin on the map when location is available, or anchor the gate to a street name you type yourself. The ledger keeps every sealed plate in one scrollable list with search by street, style, or note. Open a gate card for crest details, hinge visits, and return flags. Compare two plates side by side, browse a style census with rust tallies, or see which streets carry the most weight in your collection. Atlas shows pins on a map and links back to each gate. The fifteen highlights locks that have stayed silent the longest. Forge settings tune how silent years appear, how return visits sort, and defaults for new walks. Built for slow neighborhood rambles and repeat visits to the same iron — not a social feed, just your personal catalog of gates.
