Spool Pantry vs Askar Astro Controller

Spool Pantry is the filament inventory app for 3D printing enthusiasts. Whether you have a handful of spools or a wall full of them, Spool Pantry keeps everything organized so you always know what you have, where it is, and how much is left. TRACK EVERY SPOOL Log brand, material, color, diameter, weight, purchase date, price, and notes. Add a photo so you can identify spools at a glance. A low-stock warning flags spools running below 15% so you can reorder before you run out mid-print. SEE YOUR INVENTORY AT A GLANCE The Storage view shows your spools arranged on visual shelves — just like your actual rack. Drag spools between shelves to keep things organized. The Filaments tab gives you a searchable, sortable list grouped by material type. TRACK WHAT'S LOADED Add your printers and load spools onto them with a tap. Spool Pantry shows you exactly what's on each machine, and unloading a spool returns it to its original shelf automatically. SYNCS ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES Your inventory lives in your personal iCloud account and syncs seamlessly between your iPhone and iPad. No account to create, no subscription, no servers — your data is yours.

As the core companion for the Askar WAF, the Askar APP offers a high-precision focusing solution for both visual astronomy and deep-sky imaging. Paired with the Askar APP, the WAF offers accurate, responsive focusing with fine step control and instant stop. Travel and step size are independently adjustable – focus in one tap. The APP offers flexible device management – rename and group your devices with ease. Step parameters and travel reverse are also adjustable, so you can tailor the focusing experience to your own workflow. The APP is currently fully optimized for the WAF. Our development team will continue to release regular updates, gradually introducing support for filter wheels, rotators, and other smart astronomy devices. By continuously expanding device compatibility, the APP aims to deliver integrated, intelligent control over a full range of astronomy accessories, providing users with a more comprehensive and efficient solution for smart astrophotography.
