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.

PaintMyMinis FAQ
Is PaintMyMinis free?
Yes, PaintMyMinis is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is PaintMyMinis legit?
✅ The PaintMyMinis app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
Although I have yet to use this app in the field, it looks and feels great. The colorwheel works well and is well explained. The color theory is short but to the point, useful for those who didn't know about it.
Furthermore the app gives you complete freedom to add companies and paints to your database.
Improvents could be made to some aspects of the usability, regarding expected behaviour.
All in all, chapeau, very nice app.
Sweet app!
Saw this being used on Facebook. Legit sick app so far! Can’t wait to see what else I can do with it.
This is a must for mini painters
The only thing I can critique about this app. Is that it needs an IPad version, a gradient option for shifting color paints, and a place to enter the hex codes for colors for custom entries. Other then that, it’s near perfect and I use it all the time.
Great organization tool
Didn’t think I would like this app as much as I do but it’s fantastic! It forces you to take the time and plan out your project for each part of your painting.
Dev suggestion: Instead of using the ‘bookmark’ feature of a painting step to track progress, maybe make a small radio button or a slide step to count that step as done. I want to bookmark a paint step to return to it, not necessarily to track progress.
You gotta get this app!
I’m not really used to giving reviews so here goes. I think the app is great. Everything from the paints you have access to and the way you can plan out your mini’s paint scheme and select the paint you would need is fantastic.
Also the way you can select what’s in your stock and what’s available out there to creating a shopping list for what paints you might need is awesome. If a paint isn’t in your database to request it from PaintBay which is the online database that all the paints are derived from before you download them to your database.
All in all this is one of the best apps I have on my phone today. You gotta get this app!
Has potential
The app has potential, but the interface is clunky, and it has not been updated with GW contrast paints. Also, there is no way to store your inventory of paints.
An invaluable tool
It’s an amazing app. Keeps me consistent not only in how I paint but also lets me check exactly how I achieved an effect for use with future projects. Quite invaluable for reminding me what’s been done already when I came back to an army after a few months working on something else. My only complaint would be that the downloadable paint ranges aren’t updated frequently enough to account for changes in the product line.
Awesome app, needs a little more...
This app is awesome for keeping track of large paint jobs. The way you can create materials and then assign them to minis is also fantastic. This app is so close to 5 stars, but it needs a little more, namely:
- The order of the minis change every time you open the app and there’s no sorting methods. The ability to alpha sort is important for larger jobs.
- The ability to group minis in to folders would really clean up the miniatures section. Considering that many games have clans/tribes/races/etc the ability to place minis in folders would be of great benefit.
- I would love to be able to collapse each category in the materials page. That way instead of scrolling through to find what you want you could look for the category you want, tap on it (expanding it), and then look for the material you want.
Fantastic & flexible!
This is a must-have for even occasional hobby painters. Forgot how what colors you mixed to get your leather like that? What wash did you use on the face? Never again! Individual miniatures can be saved into group projects, so you can organize by game, commission, warband, or however you please.
Defiantly a good resource
I actually made a video about this for my YouTube channel. It’s been nice, a little clunky at first trying to figure it out but once you have it rolling it’s beautiful.
