## What is Undercoat?

Undercoat is the all-in-one workshop notebook for miniature and model painters. Inventory, projects, recipes, cross-brand matching and stats — finally in a single, beautiful app instead of five separate ones.

EVERY PAINT, IN ONE RACK
• Build your collection from a built-in multi-brand catalog (Citadel, Vallejo, The Army Painter, Scale75 and more)
• Add paints by search, by hand, or scan a barcode in seconds
• See your whole rack as a grid of real-color swatches
• Track what's full, running low, or out — and get an automatic shopping list

CROSS-BRAND EQUIVALENCES THAT ACTUALLY WORK
• Find the closest paint in any other brand using real color science (CIEDE2000), not rough RGB guesses
• "Closest paint in MY stock" — match any color to what you already own

PROJECTS THAT KEEP YOU PAINTING
• Track every model from bought → assembled → primed → in progress → finished
• Progress rings, work-in-progress photo journals, and time logged per session
• Watch your army's "% painted" climb across units

COLOR RECIPES, LINKED TO YOUR PAINTS
• Save your schemes step by step: basecoat, wash, layer, highlight
• Every step links to a paint you actually own — no more guessing what you used
• A visual swatch fingerprint for each recipe

STATS & STREAKS
• Models per month, painting streaks, an activity heatmap and badges
• The gentle nudge that turns a backlog into finished minis

UNDERCOAT PRO
A generous free tier lets you build a real collection. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited inventory, projects, army lists and recipes, cross-brand equivalences, low-stock alerts, full stats, export and cloud backup. Available as a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime unlock.

Your painting desk, organized.

### 1/5 — Product does not work as intended

*2026-07-08*

Support is non existent and and I purchased to sync between my phone and iPad which it does not

**Developer response:** Hi, and I'm sorry, you're right on both counts, and I want to make it right.

On sync: an update (1.2) that fixes this is on its way. A flaw in the app's data model was silently keeping everything on your device instead of syncing, so your iPhone and iPad never shared data. To be clear, iCloud sync is free for everyone, it was never something the purchase was meant to unlock, so it should have worked for you regardless. After you update to 1.2, with both devices signed into the same iCloud account, your collection will upload and sync automatically, nothing to set up.

On support: the in-app contact address was broken, that's my fault, and it's fixed in 1.2. You can reach me directly at contact@develak.com. Please email me and I'll help you get sync working, and if you'd still like a refund I'll help you get one sorted through Apple.

Thanks for your patience, and sorry again for the frustration. Undercoat
