---- 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.

• 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.

• Notifications: See above. All notifications are optional and can be disabled in the settings.

Ratings and reviews

This is what I've wanted for mini painting for many years. This helps keep track of projects/pile of shame as well as paints. The paint resource is awesome, as you can cross reference between brands and try to find similar tones/shades. On the project side I like being able to see how well my estimates line up with my actual build and paint times.

Lifesaver! Not only do I have full access to my paint list across multiple lines. The collections aspect allows me to keep track of minatures and status of how far along they are even keeping the completed ones. Great for keeping track of my GW and Reaper mini and saves buying duplicates when I have the list in my pocket. Projects allows me to save which colors I'm using so I can come back to it later and not guess which colors I used.

It's easily the best app for hobby management that I've seen. I also haven't noticed any ads yet. The UI could use some tweaking but overall it's good. Suggestions: the color swatches for Thondia Brown and Rhinox Hide are reversed in the paint list. Rhinox Hide has the reddish tint while Thondia is more chocolate. Also, when I add a new paint to my Inventory, it appears at the bottom of the list with a huge gap of white space between it and the last entry.
