Did it ever happen to you, after taking a break from one of your miniature/army painting projects that you couldn’t get a hold of the right painting order? What kind of mixtures did you create to paint that cool metal blade? What kind of inks did you use and in which order? Was it the „late summer green 123“ or „autumngras 345“ flock for the bases? With PaintMyMinis you can keep track of all these questions and keep it for future projects and expansions. It provides your tabletop army/miniature painting with consistency throughout the whole painting process. Never lose sight again of your painting order, the thereby used colors and bookmark your painting status at every mini in progress. ********* "Fantastic iPhone app to keep track of the mixes and color recipes used in your minis." - Karaikal Painting Studio (Multi Golden Demon Winner) "The perfect app for recording your color choice." - Studio Akaranseth (Multi Golden Demon Winner) ” (…) Well, PaintMyMinis is that (note)book, except that it resides on your iPhone, and it becomes your notebook on steroids, with some serious awesomesauce thrown in.” - Bill’s Raving Rant ********* Key features: - Plan your project color scheme with the integrated colorwheel* (optionally with auto color harmony) - Keep track of all your painting techniques, paint mixtures and ratios - Share your materials and techniques with your friends and the world - Keep track of your colors* and add them to an integrated shopping list - One app, all your projects, all your minis, custom materials that can be shared by your minis - Bookmarks and percentile painting process for each mini - For your convenience the Vallejo (Game Color, Model Color and Model Air)*, new and old Games Workshop Citadel* paint line, Badger Minitaire*, The Army Painter*, Scale75*, Coat d'arms*, Wargames Foundry*, PrivateerPress Formula P3* and the Reaper Master Series* paint ranges are available for download! *The color representation does not reflect real pigmented colors and is only a simulation.

Your Plex library grew faster than you could watch it. Flick is the fastest way to get back on top of it — one card, one thumb, one decision at a time. Sign in with Plex, pick a library, and start swiping. Right for yes, left for no, up if you have already seen it, down to decide later. Every decision writes straight back to your Plex server. CHOOSE WHAT A SWIPE MEANS Flick asks what you are here to do before you start, and the swipes follow: • Tidy up — keep the good stuff, send the rest to a review playlist • Watchlist — build your Plex watchlist from what you already own • Seen it? — fix a watch history that drifted out of sync • Custom list — fill any playlist on your server Switch mode any time from the top of the deck. The same four gestures mean the same four things in every mode, so there is nothing to relearn. MORE THAN SWIPING Tap any card to rate it out of five, toggle watched, add it to your Plex watchlist, or file it into any playlist — and create new playlists without leaving the deck. Sort by newest, oldest, A–Z, year, top rated or last watched. Narrow the deck to just the unwatched, or just the watched. It is your library, on your terms. NOTHING GETS DELETED BY ACCIDENT No swipe can ever delete media. Titles you bin go to a Plex playlist you can review — in Plex, at your own pace, with the actual delete under your control. Permanent deletion is off by default, has to be turned on deliberately in Settings, and always confirms first. Undo is one tap away, always. BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTERS • Connects straight to your server — there is no middleman and no account beyond Plex • Your Plex token is stored in the iOS Keychain and never leaves your device • No analytics, no tracking, no data collection • Works with servers you own and servers shared with you • Picks the fastest route to your server automatically, at home or on cellular • Remembers exactly where you left off in every library ONE PAYMENT, IF YOU WANT IT Flick is free and stays fully functional. If you would rather not see ads, one small payment removes them forever. No subscription, no account, nothing to cancel. Requires a Plex account and access to at least one Plex Media Server. Flick is an independent application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Plex, Inc. Plex and Plex Media Server are trademarks of Plex and used under a license.
