Every miniature painter has one. The Pile of Shame - boxes of unbuilt kits, half-primed sprues, armies started and abandoned. Sprue is the hobby tracker that turns that overwhelming backlog into a satisfying progression system. -- TRACK EVERY MODEL -- Log every miniature from the moment you crack open the box to the day you seal the varnish. Six distinct stages - On Sprue, Assembled, Primed, In Progress, Painted, and Showcase - give you a clear picture of where everything stands. Watch your Pile of Shame number drop with every session. -- SAVE YOUR PAINT RECIPES -- This is the feature that saves hours. When you are on model number thirty of your Intercessor Squad, you need to remember exactly how you painted number one. Add step-by-step recipes to each project: Basecoat Mephiston Red, wash with Agrax Earthshade, layer Evil Sunz Scarlet. Never start from scratch again. -- MANAGE YOUR PAINT COLLECTION -- 230+ paints from Citadel, Vallejo Model Color, and Army Painter - pre-loaded with accurate color swatches and equivalents across brands. Add paints to your inventory with one tap. Track what is running low, what needs restocking, and what is on your wishlist. With Pro, your shopping list is grouped by brand before your next hobby store visit. -- LOG EVERY SESSION -- Record what you painted, how long you spent, which techniques you used. Watch your weekly streak build. The hobby dashboard shows your Pile of Shame count, stage breakdown across all models, and recent activity - everything you need to stay motivated and keep moving. -- ORGANIZE BY PROJECT -- Group models into projects: Blood Angels 2000pts, Stormcast Vanguard Chamber, D&D Party - Curse of Strahd, Fellgor Ravagers Kill Team. Track army-level progress with completion bars. See exactly how close you are to a fully painted force. -- FOR EVERY CORNER OF THE HOBBY -- Warhammer 40,000. Age of Sigmar. Kill Team. Horus Heresy. Warcry. D&D and Pathfinder miniatures. Star Wars Legion. Bolt Action. Marvel Crisis Protocol. Malifaux. Historical miniatures. Board game figures. If it has a sprue, Sprue tracks it. -- COMMANDER'S PACK (PRO) -- Unlock the full arsenal with a Pro subscription: - Unlimited models, projects, paints and recipes - Hobby stats: minis painted, sessions and hours at the desk - Shopping list grouped by brand - Full painting session history - Multi-photo WIP gallery per model Free tier: up to 50 models, 3 projects, 30 paints in your collection and 3 recipes per project, plus the full hobby dashboard and paint equivalents - enough to track a whole army. -- DESIGNED FOR THE HOBBY -- Dark mode by default. Serif typography that feels like a campaign journal. Gold accents on deep slate. Built by a hobbyist, for hobbyists who paint under a lamp at 11pm and know the difference between a glaze and a drybrush.
