---- 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

Best painting companion app for those who wish to bring some project management into their hobby. The developer constantly keeps the app updated with paint lines and features. They also are great at interacting with the community and open to feedback. Seriously, there's no better app for tracking your miniature painting hobby.

I love this app for tracking time spent on miniatures and projects/commissions. I have also shown it to a coworker who now uses it to track his carpentry projects and time. Wonderful app, I'd give it 10 stars if I could. The regular updates and improvements and attention to bug fixes are all icing on top. I recommend this for anyone who spends time on miniatures painting or just about any crafting hobby.

An incredibly robust and useful organizational and tracking app for your painting projects and inventory. The developer is also very responsive to user feedback. I can't recommend this app enough for anyone seeking to get a hold of their plastic pile of shame and give them that extra push to get those projects that have been sitting on their hobby table for far too long.
