---- Features of the Wear OS version ----

You can inspect your project timers, navigate through your projects and start of stop timers and get reminded of active timers. It requires the phone version to create projects first. These projects will then be be displayed and be started / stopped on the watch.

---- Disclaimer on used permissions ----

The app uses the following permissions for the following purposes. The app will not access your photos or camera or upload any of your data without your own intentional actions or without visual feedback or your consent.

• Camera and video (optional): The app allows to attach photos in various places (for example projects, How-Tos, comments, paints, Paint-Sets, Swatches/Gallery) and also has a Barcode-Scanner which uses the video-mode of the camera.
• Internet and download: The app has various online-features like downloading How-Tos, Paint-Sets, making online-backup (Server or Google Drive) of your data and downloading images from the web or from Instagram or to perform an anonymous read-only version-check.
• Preventing stand-by: While using the barcode-scanner, the app prevents the phone from going into stand-by, so you can keep scanning without the screen getting locked automatically.
• Controlling vibration: The app has optional reminders about active timers or to make you go paint. These reminders may vibrate if you want to.
• Notifications: See above. All notifications are optional and can be disabled in the settings.

Ratings and reviews

This was a 5 star app when I found it in 2022. Four years later it's a 10 star app, imo. If you paint 28mm modern military minis, there is literally no reason to skip this app. You WILL find something in it that helps you with your hobby. The creator is awesome! If you have a good idea for the app, email him. Many updates contain ideas from users of the app. I know ppl who use it just to catalog photos of their minis and others who use every single feature.

Fantastic all‑in‑one! As someone with ADHD and tons of half‑started projects, this app keeps all my notes, colors, photos, and paint brands organized in one place. Now when I return to a project I don't have to refigure my color palette and remember my overall vision. **Feature Requests: Add notes to individual colors since some dry lighter/darker or behave differently. And link a How-To to a project.** Amazing app—I'll use it for all my art projects (canvas painting, digital artwork, etc.)!

A fantastic companion to have when painting! My only gripe is a very minor one, but that is that it doesn't have the newest line of paints from a very small manufacturer: Ten01 Labs and their Ultracryl paints. Not enough of a downside to warrant a lower score, as new paint lines are constantly being added to the app and it doesn't really detract from the app as a whole. I just hope that this new line gets added soon!
