Never forget a paint mix again. BrushLog is a miniature painting recipe manager for tabletop hobbyists. "Was it Mephiston Red and Corax White at 2:1, or 3:1?" Stop guessing. Record every recipe — paints, ratios, layers, and notes — linked to each miniature you own. 【What you can do with BrushLog】 ▷ Record Paint Recipes Save the paints used, mix ratios, layer order, and step notes for every recipe. Attach multiple recipes to one mini (base coat, shade, highlight, etc.). Duplicate recipes or copy them to another miniature. ▷ Link Paints to Minis — Both Ways See exactly which paints went on any mini, and which minis use any given paint. Finished works are shown in a clean grid view. ▷ 5,900+ Color Presets Citadel, Vallejo, Mr. Hobby, and more — built right in. Pick from the library or set any custom hex color with the color wheel. ▷ Track Progress & Painting Time Four stages: Backlog → Building → Painting → Done. Log time spent on each mini. A banner alerts you when any paint is running low. ▷ Export & Import Your Data (Free) Export paints, miniatures, and recipes as a single CSV — or as a ZIP that includes photos. Import the same formats to add data back on this device. ▷ Before & After Photo Comparison Swipe a slider to compare the miniature before and after painting. Watch your skills improve over time. Supports both camera and photo library. ▷ Project / Army Management (Pro) Group minis into armies, collections, or any project you choose. ▷ Share Recipes as Images (Pro) Generate shareable recipe images for social media or your painting group. ▷ Painting Reminder (Pro) Set a weekly local notification on your preferred day and time. No server required — runs entirely on your device. 【Who it's for】 · Warhammer 40K / Age of Sigmar hobbyists painting multiple minis at once · Anyone who keeps forgetting their Citadel paint mix ratios · Collectors who lose track of which paint goes on which mini · Hobbyists who want to share recipes with friends 【Japanese & English UI】 The interface follows your device language (Japanese or English). 【All data stays on your device】 Recipes, photos, and paint data are stored only on your iPhone / iPad. No external servers. No account required. 【Pricing】 · Free: up to 5 minis & 20 paints, including CSV/ZIP export & import · Pro (one-time purchase): unlimited minis & paints, project management, recipe image sharing, painting reminder Not a subscription.
