Spoolman GO vs Varve 3D Print Manager

Spoolman GO is the iPhone companion app for your self-hosted Spoolman or FilaMan-compatible server. Manage your filament spools, track inventory, and write NFC tags in the OpenSpool format — right from your iPhone. FEATURES • Dashboard with inventory overview: total weight, material distribution, low-stock warnings, and manufacturer statistics at a glance • Spool list with search and filters by material, manufacturer, location, and stock status, including a remaining-weight status indicator • Detail view with all filament data, settings, and remaining weight • Book filament consumption and log measured remaining weight • Overview for spools, filaments, vendors, and locations — edit all fields • Multi-color display: pie chart (coaxial) or linear gradient (longitudinal) in lists and details • Scan QR codes and open the matching spool directly (`/spool/show/...` and `WEB+SPOOLMAN:S-...`) • Read and write passive NFC tags (OpenSpool 1.0, NDEF MIME application/json; no direct printer or accessory pairing) • Automatically store NFC tag UID on the matching spool (lot_nr) • Auto-detect API: native Spoolman (/api/v1) or FilaMan Spoolman compatibility (/spoolman/api/v1) • Light / Dark / System color scheme • Demo Mode: explore the general app UI without a server using realistic sample data; writing NFC tags requires Live Mode • No account, no cloud service — all your data stays with you • Settings: server connection, appearance and language, low-stock threshold • Improved VoiceOver support with labeled actions, form fields, filters, and purchase states REQUIREMENTS • Self-hosted Spoolman or FilaMan with Spoolman-API Plugin • For NFC: iPhone 7 or newer, iOS 13+, physical device required (not Simulator) • For QR scanning: camera access PRIVACY Spoolman GO collects no user data.

Varve is a workshop notebook for 3D printing. It tracks the things that actually cost you a print: which spool is nearly empty, which one has been sitting out absorbing water, when the printer last got a new nozzle, and what you actually made last month. No account. No ads. No tracking. Open it and start. FILAMENT THAT TELLS YOU THE TRUTH Log every spool with its material, colour, brand and remaining weight. Varve tracks what is left as you print, flags anything running low, and remembers which box or dry box it lives in. Split a spool onto a second roll, log a drying cycle, and see a spool's whole history on one screen. HUMIDITY WHERE IT MATTERS Log a humidity reading against a storage location and every spool inside it inherits the reading. You can see at a glance which of your PETG has been sitting in a damp bin since spring. YOUR PRINTERS, WITH THEIR HISTORY Add every machine you own, with photos, notes, links and attachments. Maintenance tasks attach to a printer, a piece of equipment or a storage location, carry a due date and time, and fire a local reminder, so lubrication and belt checks stop being the thing you remember after a failed print. LIVE BAMBU LAB STATUS Connect a Bambu Lab printer over your own Wi-Fi and Varve reads its status, nozzle and bed temperatures, and the filament loaded in each AMS slot, straight onto the printer card. The connection is direct and read only. It never starts, pauses or cancels a print, it needs no Developer Mode, and it never touches the Bambu cloud. A PRINT LOG WORTH KEEPING Record finished prints with a photo, a half-star quality rating, the slicer settings you used and a link to the source model. Paste a MakerWorld, Printables or Thingiverse link and Varve fetches the title and thumbnail for you. Tell it which spool the print came off and it takes the filament back out of that spool, so your remaining weights stay honest without a spreadsheet. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE WORKSHOP Spare nozzles, build plates, hotends and adhesive live in Inventory. Dryers, dry boxes and enclosures live in Equipment. Storage locations hold your spools. Global search reaches all of it. BUILT LIKE AN APP, NOT A DATABASE Native SwiftUI on iPhone and iPad. Dark by default, with Markdown notes, photo attachments, and a Dashboard that surfaces only what needs you today. PRIVACY Varve has no servers of its own. Your data is stored on your device, and in your own private iCloud if you turn sync on. There is no analytics SDK, no advertising and nothing to opt out of. VARVE PRO Varve is free forever for up to 20 spools and 2 printers, with every feature above included and no ads. Varve Pro removes the caps and adds: - iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad - Custom material types - Backup export and import - Unlimited spools and printers Varve Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in App Store settings. Privacy policy: https://varve.fortiscode.dev/ Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ A varve is a single year of sediment, one light layer and one dark, laid down in still water. Read a core of them and you can read the seasons. That is what this app does with your printing.
