Concept Frames
Overview
Serpens Logger (Artworka) treats the printer dialog as a universal capture point. Instead of sending files to paper, creatives can 'print' into a structured archive that tracks versions, clients, and projects over time.
It is designed to be invisible most of the time, but essential when you need to find an old asset or reconstruct the story behind a piece of work.
Who It's For
- Designers & artists who generate a high volume of visual work and assets.
- Studios & agencies who need a lightweight way to track versions without complex DAM systems.
- Serpens Inc internally as a living archive of experiments, decks, mockups, and campus materials.
Key Features
- Virtual printer that routes output into a structured project archive instead of a physical device.
- Lightweight metadata capture for client, project, and type of work at the moment of 'printing'.
- Simple browsing, filtering, and export so past work can be quickly surfaced and reused.
- Foundation for future, more automated "memory" layers across the Serpens stack.
Stage & Targets
Stage: Mac beta with internal usage at Serpens and a small group of external testers.
Target milestones (2025–2026):
- Refine installation flow and stability across macOS versions.
- Validate that the 'print to archive' mental model resonates with creatives.
- Explore integrations with cloud storage and future SerpensDocs workspaces.
Where It Fits in Serpens Inc
Logger is both a real product and a metaphor for how we see systems: quiet, persistent memory layers that respect the way people actually work.
In the longer term, the patterns we establish here can inform archival and logging behavior inside SerpenSky campuses and SerpensDocs deployments.
