The backlog coach for iOS & iPadOS

Find out what to paint tonight

Your pile of shame, ranked. MiniPaint AI works out what is closest to finished, what fits the time you actually have, and the exact next thing to do — so no session is lost to deciding.

MiniPaint AI Living Workbench

Your shelf, ranked

Every unpainted box scored by how close it is to finished, the effort left, and how much you actually want to paint it.

One exact next action

Not “paint the Ork Warboss” — “basecoat the 6 Boyz you already primed, about 90 minutes.”

Sized to your session

Tell MiniPaint how long you actually paint for and every estimate is in your hours, not generic ones.

How MiniPaint AI Works

01. Add the shelf

Box, sprue, or half-painted squad — log what is actually waiting, with its stage and how much effort is left.

02. Get it ranked

MiniPaint scores every entry by how close it is to finished, effort, batch size, and your own excitement — then puts one at the top.

03. Start in 10 seconds

Open to one concrete instruction sized to your real session length, then log the time with the arm's-length desk timer.
