## What is BamBuddy?

BamBuddy is the companion app for your self-hosted Bambuddy server. Monitor and control your Bambu Lab 3D printers from iPhone and iPad — at home over your local network, on the go via your external address. The app switches automatically.

MONITOR EVERYTHING LIVE
• Real-time status via WebSocket: progress, layers, remaining time
• Live camera feed for every printer
• Temperatures, fans, AMS units with filament colours and remaining percentages
• HMS error messages right on screen

CONTROL SAFELY
• Pause, resume or stop prints
• Print speed and chamber light
• Manage the queue: start, reorder, cancel
• Archive with favourites and print history

STATISTICS
• Success rate, print hours, filament usage, cost and energy
• Charts per filament type and per printer

FREE AND PRO
For free you monitor and control one printer with all the features above. BamBuddy Pro (subscription or one-time purchase, 7-day free trial) adds:
• Unlimited printers — your whole print farm in one app
• AI Print Assistant: ask about your printer, get error codes explained and advice on failed prints — fully on-device with Apple Intelligence, your data never leaves your device
• AI Insights: automatic analysis of your print statistics with concrete tips
• Smart notifications: instant alert when a print finishes, fails or your printer reports an error

PRIVACY FIRST
No account, no cloud, no tracking. The app only talks to your own server. Your API key is stored safely in the Keychain.

Requires a running Bambuddy server (open source, free).
