The Painting Ledger
Warhammer Hobby Manager
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The Painting Ledger is the only Warhammer app that builds personalised painting schemes from the paints you actually own, not generic guides that assume you have everything.
Track your collection, manage your armies, run your games, and paint better. All in one place.
MINIATURE BACKLOG
Add any unit with a barcode scan or search across 1,400+ units from all four game systems. Track every kit from Backlog to In Progress to Done. Watch the pile of shame shrink.
SCHEME JOURNAL
Ever forget that scheme you used a few years ago but need it now? Use the Scheme Journal to log and share your scheme's and never forget how you painted something again!
PAINT ARSENAL
Log your entire paint collection with live colour swatches, stock level alerts, and cross-brand equivalents. Scan a barcode and it fills itself in. Never buy a duplicate pot again.
LIVE GAME MODULE
Open this when you sit down opposite your opponent. Track VP, Command Points, phases, and secondary mission cards in real time across Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Horus Heresy, and The Old World. Generates a full shareable battle report when the game ends.
LIST BUILDER
Build and manage named armies from a 1,400+ unit catalogue. Track points, painted readiness, and roster composition. Deploy your army list directly to a live game with one tap.
SCHEME ADVISOR (Pro)
Describe your miniature and style. Get a complete step-by-step painting guide built from the paints on your actual shelf, with a shopping list for anything you're missing.
RESEARCH
Search any faction and get paint recipes from 'Eavy Archive, real YouTube tutorials, and community guides all in one result.
Free to start. Pro unlocks the Scheme Advisor, unlimited research, and commission tracking at $9.99 CAD/month.

The Painting Ledger v1.5.3
New
Sort your paint arsenal by colour. A new Brand / Colour toggle displays your paints as a continuous rainbow (ordered by hue → saturation → lightness), with neutral greys grouped at the end. Your choice is remembered between sessions.
Improvements
Cleaner paint type filter. The legacy "Marker" paint type has been merged into "Paint Marker," so filtering by type is now consistent everywhere.
Fixes
Keyboard & input handling
Points editor no longer hidden by the keyboard. In the unit detail sheet, the on-screen keyboard used to cover the "Your Points" override field and Save button. The sheet now scrolls clear of the keyboard.
Gallery search is more responsive. Tapping a search result while the keyboard is open now opens the result directly instead of just dismissing the keyboard.
Scheme Journal inputs stay above the keyboard. Opening a phase and tapping the "Add paint from arsenal…" or Notes field now scrolls it clear of the on-screen keyboard. You can also swipe down to dismiss the keyboard.
