Never forget a paint mix again. BrushLog is a miniature painting recipe manager for tabletop hobbyists. "Was it that red and 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 Presets from major paint brands — built right in. Pick from the library or set any custom hex color with the color wheel. Use “Add from catalog” to add many paints at once. ▷ Track Progress & Painting Time Four stages: Backlog → Assembling → Painting → Done. Log time spent on each mini, or time your sessions with the painting timer. A banner alerts you when any paint is running low, and the Restock list gathers those paints for your next shop trip. ▷ 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 Photos and WIP Album Swipe a slider to compare the miniature before and after painting, and keep work-in-progress photos for each mini. 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 Cards Turn a miniature or recipe into an image card for social media or your painting group. Choose the size and details to show. ▷ 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】 · Tabletop wargamers painting multiple minis at once · Anyone who keeps forgetting their paint mix ratios · Collectors who lose track of which paint goes on which mini · Hobbyists who want to share recipes with friends 【Available in 8 languages】 The interface follows your device language: English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Korean, Traditional Chinese, or Portuguese. 【All data stays on your device】 Recipes, photos, and paint data are stored only on your iPhone / iPad.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PGMNT at none against BrushLog's 1. BrushLog's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
