## What is FilaMan?

FilaMan – Your Filament Management for 3D Printing

FilaMan is the companion app for your self-hosted FilaMan system. Keep track of your entire filament inventory – right from your smartphone.

Dashboard  
All key metrics at a glance: total number of spools and filaments, inventory value, low stock alerts and empty spools. Always know when it's time to reorder.

Spool Management  
Create, edit and track every spool in your inventory. Record weight, location, purchase data and status. Use Quick Actions to take measurements, adjust weight, change status or move spools to different locations – all with just a few taps.

Filaments & Manufacturers  
Manage your entire filament library with full details: material, diameter, colors, density and price. Set up manufacturers with default values for spool weight and dimensions that are automatically applied to new spools.

Barcode Scanner  
Scan filament barcodes directly with your smartphone camera. Quickly find filaments in your database or conveniently create new entries.

NFC Tag Support  
Write NFC tags on your filament spools and read them at any time. Assign spools and locations via NFC tags – simply hold your smartphone to the spool and instantly access all information.

Important note for Apple users:  
Bambu Lab spools use Mifare Classic NFC tags. This technology is fundamentally not supported by Apple/iOS – neither for reading nor writing. This is an Apple limitation, not a limitation of this app.

Locations  
Organize your spools by location – whether different shelves, rooms or printers. Assign NFC tags to locations for quick identification.

Multilingual  
The app is fully available in English and German.

Your Data Stays Yours  
FilaMan connects exclusively to your own self-hosted FilaMan instance. No data is transmitted to external servers, analytics services or third parties. No tracking, no ads, no cloud dependency.

Requirement  
A running FilaMan instance on your network is required to use this app. More information at https://www.filaman.app

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-12

From now on, the app writes spool_id to NFC tags and reads both sm_id and spool_id. This increases compatibility with other systems. Please also update your scale's firmware."

### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-23

New: import data straight from the FilaMan database

  - Creating or editing a manufacturer: "Load from FilaManDB" fills in name, website and brand logo from the community database. When editing, the search starts from the existing
  name.
  - Creating a filament: once a manufacturer is selected, you can look up the matching filament in FilaManDB. Material, diameter, density, weight, price, shop link, spool defaults
  and colours are filled in automatically — any missing colours are created for you.
  - Creating or editing a spool: the spool profile search fills in empty weight, material, outer diameter and width in one tap.
  - These options only appear if the FilamentDB plugin is enabled on your server.

  Improved spool profile search

  - Opening the search now lists every available profile right away.
  - The search covers material, weight and dimensions as well — in English and German. "Cardboard", "Pappe" and "Karton" all return the same results, as do "Plastic" and "Plastik".
  - Numbers are recognised as measurements: 250g searches the empty weight, 68mm the diameter and width. Terms can be combined, for example "cardboard 130".
  - Spool materials in the FilaMan database are now shown in your selected language.

  Ein Hinweis zur Reihenfolge: Der Teil zur verbesserten Suche wirkt erst, wenn die FilamentDB (db.filaman.app) neu deployt ist — vorher findet auch die neue App-Version nichts.
  Falls du die Texte getrennt veröffentlichen willst, gehört der erste Block zur App und der zweite zum DB-Release. Soll ich sie in die CHANGELOG.md unter [Unreleased] eintragen?

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-07

The app can read and write now openspool and filaman protocol.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-03-30

- Email address is now saved in the server connection settings and pre-filled when reopening
- Spool detail: NFC and device write buttons are now properly centered and have shorter, more concise labels

### 1.1.0 — 2026-03-29

Now spools can also be assigned to the printer directly from the app via Spool Details → Quick Actions → Locations.
