Take control of your 3D printer filament collection. Filament Tracker is a native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that gives every spool a unique ID, a home, and a complete history — from purchase to retirement. — ASK YOUR INVENTORY ANYTHING — Type a question — like "how many grams of red PLA do I have?" — and get an instant answer instead of adding it up yourself. Powered entirely by on-device Apple Intelligence: nothing leaves your device, no internet required. No Apple Intelligence? Search still works as before. — KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE — Browse your collection filtered by state, brand, type, color family, or location, with live counts on each filter. Sort by grams remaining to spot low spools at a glance. Each spool shows its true color and hex code, plus its weight, state (New → In Use → Low → Empty → Retired) with a colored stripe, event history, and photos. — SMART INTAKE & AUTO-FILL — Skip tedious data entry. Paste text from a product page or receipt—or on iPhone and iPad, use your camera to scan text off box and bag labels. On compatible devices, on-device Apple Intelligence extracts the brand, material, color, and net weight instantly. — SCAN TO FIND. SCAN TO MOVE. — Print a QR code for any spool or location and scan it with your iPhone, iPad, or Mac camera, or use your iPhone to write and scan custom NFC tags at your workbench. A quick tap or scan instantly identifies what's loaded and where it is. To move a spool, tap Move and scan the destination — your preferred method (NFC, QR, or a list) opens instantly. — LOCATIONS THAT FIT YOUR SETUP — Organize your collection by dry box, AMS unit, shelf, printer, or any location you define. Locations marked as Connected to Printer automatically count loaded spools as In Use. — TRACK EVERY GRAM — Log print sessions to keep grams-remaining accurate, or connect a Bluetooth scale to weigh a spool and get its remaining filament instantly — set the empty weight once and every future weigh-in subtracts it automatically. Loading filament starts with your refills, sortable by brand, color, or amount left. Attach photos from your camera, photo library, or Files. Track purchase price, source URL, and currency per spool. — SIRI & SHORTCUTS — Ask Siri where a spool is, check how much filament you have left, or log print usage hands-free — or use them in your own Shortcuts. — BUILT-IN FILAMENT REFERENCE — Look up print temperatures, drying recommendations, density, and resistance ratings for ~30 filament types — from PLA and PETG to specialty materials like PA6-CF, BVOH, and ASA. Tap any entry to filter your spools by that type. — ICLOUD SYNC — Your inventory syncs silently across all your devices via CloudKit and works fully offline. Sync diagnostics and a cache reset are in Settings. — BACKUP & RESTORE — Export a complete snapshot — spools, filament, locations, history, photos, and reference data — as an archive or plain JSON. Restore any time via a safe path that never risks data loss in iCloud. — CSV EXPORT & IMPORT — Export your full inventory as a 30-column CSV for Numbers, Excel, or any spreadsheet. Import it back to bulk-update brand, type, color, location, purchase info, and more, matched by Spool ID. — LIGHT & DARK MODE, ACCESSIBILITY — Follows your device's Light or Dark Mode, or pick one in Settings. Every screen supports VoiceOver and Dynamic Type. — SEAMLESS MAC COMPANION — Runs natively on Mac with the same data, sync, and features as iPhone and iPad, including search from macOS Spotlight. The Mac also supports the TD-1 filament tester: capture transmission-distance and hex color readings over USB, synced to all your devices. No subscriptions. No account required beyond iCloud — your data stays in your own private iCloud database. Optional tips in Settings support development, and a one-time Supporter purchase adds a thank-you badge — never required.
Filamuze

Your Bambu AMS only sees branded spools. Filamuze sees everything else. Sunlu, eSun, Polymaker, that AliExpress roll you picked up last month — they have no RFID tag. Your AMS has no idea they exist. Filamuze is where you track them: weight remaining, drybox status, print temps, reorder history, all in one place. You're not replacing your AMS. You're filling the gap it leaves. What Filamuze does • Inventory at a glance — see every spool on your shelf, weight remaining, and a red "running low" badge under 100 g. Sorted by material, color, or last used. • Log usage after each print — weigh the spool, enter the new weight. Or just enter how many grams you consumed (grab it from the slicer). Filamuze converts to meters automatically. • Reusable spools + refill catalog — 60+ brand empty-spool weights built in (Bambu, Prusament, Polymaker, Sunlu, eSun, and more). Register your reusable spools, link refills to them. The app does the empty-weight math so your remaining filament is always accurate. • Drybox tracking — mark any spool as dried, log the temp and hours, see days since last dry per spool. No more guessing. • NFC + QR pairing — stick an NFC tag on a spool, tap your phone, jump straight to that spool's detail. QR works too. • AI label scan — photograph the label, Filamuze fills in the form for you. • Filament database — 250+ products from 53 brands with preset temperatures. Pick from the list and stop typing brands manually. • 21 material reference cards — PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, PC, Nylon, and all the composites (PLA-CF, PETG-CF, PA-CF, ASA-CF, and more). Best-for, watch-out, nozzle and bed temps, difficulty level. • Project cost accounting — filament + electricity + printer amortisation + platform fee. Know your real cost per print before pricing it on Etsy. • Edit anything inline — tap any field on a spool's detail screen to edit it. No separate edit mode. • Restock tracking — add a new purchase of the same product and Filamuze links them as a stack. Full purchase history per product. • Basic / Advanced view — beginners see the essentials. Advanced users toggle on to reveal temps, densities, and everything else. • Spoolman import — already using Spoolman? Import your existing data with one file pick. Works with any printer, any brand Bambu, Prusa, Creality, Anycubic, Ender, Voron — Filamuze doesn't care. It works with every spool regardless of whether there's an RFID tag on it. Free up to 20 spools No subscription required to get started. Most hobbyists never hit the limit. 5 languages: English, Russian, Hebrew (RTL), German, French Full RTL support for Hebrew. All strings localized — not just the UI chrome. Dark-only design. No ads. No tracking. Made by Qaizo Studio — a one-person indie shop that actually prints things.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Filamuze at none against Filament's 4. Filamuze also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Filament's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
