## What is Nix Toolkit?

The Nix Toolkit is the new all-in-one companion app for our Nix Sensor device line-up. It’s compatible with all Nix Mini, Nix Pro, Nix QC, and Nix Spectro devices. Functions in the app will be turned on and off depending on which device you have connected.

Functions include:
1. “Single scan” (available for all devices)
2. “Premium databases” (available for all devices)
3. “Create and share custom library (Compatible with Nix Pro, Spectro and QC devices only)
4. “Multipoint average scanning for all tools”
5. "Nix Paints feature"
6. "Nix Quality Control feature"

The “Single scan” function displays digital values (CIELAB, HEX, and RGB) and Spectral curve on swipe (Spectro device only) when you scan a sample with your Nix Color Sensor.

Premium databases offer paid subscriptions to world-class color libraries (including Pantone, RAL, and NCS). Once subscribed you can browse the entire library, and scan and match to the closest color.

The Nix Toolkit app lets you take control of how you perceive color. Select from dark or light mode, or use your own system settings.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’d love to help with whatever questions or issues you have. Please note that a free account is required to use the app (you will be prompted to create one when you first open the app). A Nix device (Mini, Pro, QC, or Spectro) is required to unlock app functions.

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT PRODUCT

*2026-08-05*

I HAVE USED BOTH THE MINI 2 AND MINI 3. EXCELLENT COLOUR MATCHES..
SPOT ON.. FANTASTIC APP AND PRODUCT..

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great feedback!

### 4/5 — My Fingers Hurt

*2026-06-25*

The app and sensor work fine, but the inability to save and export bulk data as a .csv has opened my eyes to the wrist pain of heavy numpad use. Plus, it's kinda annoying that the sensor crashes if you tab out of the app while it's collecting data.

**Developer response:** You can export as a batch from the web dashboard.
Please log into https://app.nixtoolkit.com
Contact support if you are still unable, and we will help work it out with you.

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT PRODUCT

*2026-06-13, version 1.8.13*

I HAVE USED BOTH THE MINI 2 AND MINI 3. EXCELLENT COLOUR MATCHES..

### 2/5 — Poor Connection

*2026-06-09*

Takes 5-6 attempts to connect with device. Never had an issue with the original Nix.

**Developer response:** We are sorry you are having these difficulties. 
Please contact our support email and we'll be happy to assist.

support@nixsensor.com

### 3/5 — Great app if you have phone signal

*2026-06-06*

It’s a great app, but on several occasions now it won’t work because it is trying to download the paint library in an area with no phone signal. I just want to use my mini 3 with single scan mode.

**Developer response:** I apologize for the inconvenience.
We have implemented a fix that may resolve your issue.
Also note that your network performance can impact download speed. In some cases we've had users report better success over data where their work network blocks some sites.

### 1/5 — Purchased libraries don’t work

*2026-06-01*

Just updated the app. Purchased the RAL library and it charged my credit card but it does not show up under the list of purchased libraries. Help!

**Developer response:** I apologize for the issues. 
We have updated the software and this may resolve your problem.
If not, please email our support desk at support@nixsensor.com
We will be happy to assist.

### 4/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-05-28*

I had problems with the paint libraries not downloading which meant the app was useless for me. However it turned out somehow my WiFi router was stopping the download and once I forced my iPhone to use mobile data it was fine.

**Developer response:** We are sorry for your difficulty.
I understand that the issue was network released and has been resolved.
If you have any continued issues, please contact support and it will be escalated.

### 1/5 — Schlechte Software

*2025-05-21, version 1.8.1*

Das ist mal eine benutzerunfreundliche Software. Viel zu kleine Schrift und ständig muss man sich neu einloggen.

### 2/5 — Old NIX Apps were better

*2025-05-17*

The old NIX apps allowed you to choose multiple color vendors and would show excellent and good matches to multiple vendors. The new one only shows good matches to a single vendor, making it not nearly as helpful.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this feedback — we understand how valuable it is to compare matches across multiple paint vendors. Since your experience, we’ve updated the Toolkit app to make switching brands on-the-fly much quicker and easier.

If you’re willing, we encourage you to try the latest version. And if you have any questions or run into issues, please contact our support team so we can review and help: support@nixsensor.com or https://www.nixsensor.com/form-nix-qc-troubleshooting/ 

We appreciate you taking the time to let us know what matters most to your workflow.
