An app for miniature painters

Thinned

A journal for miniature painters.

Track the sessions you sit down to paint. Save the recipes that worked. Keep an honest record of the paints you own, rate, and use. Built for the craft — not the dashboard.

Coming soon · iOS + Android

Four tools, kept simple

Built from the bench outward. Each tool does one thing, does it well, and stays out of the way when you're painting.

01

Sessions

Start a timer when you sit down to paint. Capture photos, notes, and which paints you used. Finish with a ticked list of what you got done.

  • Timer, photos, notes, used-paints log
  • Tied to a project, or run as a quick session
02

Recipes

Save the exact paint combinations and steps that worked. Share them with painters you game with via QR codes.

  • Ordered steps, per-paint notes
  • Share offline by QR — no account needed
03

Paint library

A searchable index of paints across the major hobby brands. Track what you own, rate what you've used, and add custom mixes of your own.

  • Stock levels and wishlist
  • Ratings, custom mixes, filters

Colour wheel & streak

See your inventory mapped to the wheel — gaps and biases become obvious. A calendar heatmap keeps the streak honest.

  • Inventory plotted by hue, value, chroma
  • Daily heatmap — no notification nagging

Built on the bench

A solo project. Designed for the way a hobbyist actually works — notes between layers, recipes on the back of a blister, a collection that grows over years.

Maker
One painter, building the tool they wanted. Thinned is a workshop journal, not a social network.
