Primed

Read full description

Primed is the all-in-one companion for tabletop miniature painters — track every paint you own, plan your projects, save your recipes, and finally clear that backlog. Your paint rack, organized. Log what you own, what's running low, and what's on your wishlist. Search by brand, finish, or color, and tap any color to find cross-brand equivalents so you can paint with what you already have — and never buy a duplicate again. Beat the Pile of Shame. Give every model a project card with photos and faction tags, then move it through a clear pipeline: Backlog, Assembled, Primed, Work in Progress, Done, and Based. Watch your progress add up instead of piling up. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Paint rack with owned / running-low / wishlist status and color swatches • Cross-brand paint equivalents across major hobby paint ranges • Project backlog ("Pile of Shame") with photos, faction tags, and a full status pipeline • Recipes — build step-by-step painting recipes (paint + technique + dilution) • Smart shopping list from your wishlist, low paints, and recipe gaps • Session timer to track how long your projects really take • Stats and progress at a glance • Localized in 20 languages FREE & LIFETIME Primed is free to start. A one-time Lifetime Unlock removes ads and opens everything — unlimited projects, unlimited paint rack, unlimited army tags, recipe export & sharing, and CSV export. No subscription, ever. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your projects, photos, and paint inventory stay on your device — no account, no cloud. The free version shows ads to keep it supported; the Lifetime Unlock removes them.
