Hobby Rack vs TinPot

Know what’s in your paint rack before you buy another pot. Hobby Rack brings your miniature paints, projects and Wish List together, so you can plan a model and see what you already have. BUILD YOUR PAINT COLLECTION Track paints across popular miniature ranges, including Warhammer Tone Pro. Search the catalogue or scan supported labels to find a paint, then add it to My Paints or your Wish List. Create custom paints for colours the catalogue doesn’t cover. PLAN EACH PAINTING STEP Create a project for a miniature or army, start with a Painting Method Template, and keep its paint recipe organised by step. Choose alternatives from your rack and mark sections complete as you paint. FIND A PAINT YOU CAN USE When a recipe calls for a paint you don’t own, check alternatives from your collection. Hobby Rack shows published conversions and verified colour guidance where available, helping you choose what to use next. SHOP WITH YOUR WISH LIST Keep the paints you still need in one place and mark them bought when they join your collection. A Home Screen widget keeps your Wish List handy while you shop. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF See the next step in a recent project with the Project widget. Find paints and projects in Spotlight, including whether a paint is in My Paints or on your Wish List. Siri and Shortcuts actions also help you open projects, your Wish List and the scanner. MAKE HOBBY RACK YOURS Choose an alternative app icon and add custom paints that belong in your rack. FREE TO START The paint catalogue, scanner, Wish List and your first three projects are free to use. Hobby Rack Plus adds unlimited projects, iCloud sync and backup, more Painting Method Templates, project-specific paint alternatives, and an ad-free Projects experience. From your first few pots to an army in progress, Hobby Rack keeps your paint decisions with the projects they’re for. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

TinPot is the app for miniature painters and hobbyists who want to nail the right color without guesswork. Take a reference photo — a mini, artwork, or physical swatch — pick a point with the magnifier, and instantly see the closest acrylic matches from brands like Citadel Colour, Vallejo, Army Painter, AK Interactive, and more. Matching uses Lab color space with ΔE₀₀ (CIEDE2000), the same standard color professionals rely on. KEY FEATURES • Color picker — Camera or gallery, touch sampling with magnifier, hex and RGB values, and a ranked list of compatible paints with brand filters. • Dashboard — Quick access to analyze an image and view your active projects. (Coming soon!) • Projects — Save work on your device: name, notes, category, reference photos, and colors linked to the catalog with their ΔE. (Coming soon!) • Inventory — Track what’s on your paint shelf: catalog search, quantities per SKU, and barcode entry when the code exists in local data. • Settings — Light, dark, or system theme; favorite brands; customizable project categories. BUILT FOR THE HOBBY BENCH • Bundled catalog data for color lookup without relying on a constant connection. • Projects and inventory stored locally on your iPhone or iPad. • App interface available in English and Spanish. (for now) • Portrait-first layout, ideal at the painting table. TinPot doesn’t replace your artistic judgment — it gets you closer to the reference so you waste less paint testing shades.
