Every painter has a pile. Boxes still in shrink wrap, sprues half clipped, a squad primed two winters ago. Sprue turns that pile into something you want to open every evening: a bench that slowly fills with colour as you paint. EVERY MINI, FROM SPRUE TO SHOWCASE Track each model or unit through On Sprue, Built, Primed, Painting, Painted and Showcase, plus a Wanted list for kits you haven't bought yet. Drag cards across the board, move a whole squad in one tap, and watch your pile tumble on the Desk as you tilt your phone. 3D prints and resin are welcome too. There is no limit on how many models you track. PAINT WITH A TIMER Start a session and follow your recipe one step at a time. The timer and the current step sit on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you never have to pick up the phone with paint on your fingers. Start from Control Center, a widget or Siri. When you finish, log what you painted and move models to their next stage. YOUR PAINT RACK, ALL OF IT Sprue knows 3,687 paints from Citadel, Vallejo, The Army Painter, AK Interactive, Monument Hobbies, Scale75, Reaper, Green Stuff World, Kimera Kolors and Formula P3. Add the pots you own, count duplicates, mark what's running low, and stop buying a third pot of the same wash. Metallics shimmer and washes look like washes. RECIPES THAT REMEMBER Save each scheme as steps: basecoat, shade, layer, highlight. On model thirty of a squad, you'll paint it exactly like model one. Recipes know which paints are on your rack and which you still need. PROJECTS AND ARMIES Group models into projects with a points target, a cover photo and colours taken from your recipes. Paste an army list from New Recruit or another list builder, or import a CSV, and Sprue creates every unit for you. PHOTOS AND PROGRESS Add a photo at each stage, compare before and after, and keep a streak that forgives a missed day. The calendar is painted in the colours you actually used. Set a pledge for the month, like ten minis or twenty hours at the desk. SHARE YOUR WORK Make cards for a recipe, your pile report, your streak, an army or a finished model, sized for stories and posts. At the end of the year, get your Year in the Hobby. WIDGETS The Pile, Hobby Streak and Paint Next widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. YOURS, IN YOUR ICLOUD Everything syncs through your own iCloud and moves with you to a new iPhone. Export a backup or a CSV of your models any time, for free. No account needed, no ads, no tracking. SPRUE PRO - The ledger: painted vs bought vs gifted, money spent, hours, and the date you'll clear the pile at your pace - Shelf of Glory: finished minis cut out of their photos and lined up on lit shelves - Can I paint this tonight? Checks your rack before you start and suggests substitutes you already own - Equivalents: the closest paint in every other range, matched by colour and paint type - Rack scan: point the camera at your shelf and add every pot it reads - Smart shopping list grouped by brand - Unlimited recipes (5 are free) and a full photo gallery - Your own stage names, army deadlines for events, and share cards without the Sprue mark - Scheme ideas built from real paints, the ones on your rack first Pro is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and you can manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.
