See detailsBuild. Collect. Track.
Everything in One Place.
BuildLog connects a scanned manual, the build log, kits you want, paints and tools, spending, and photos of finished work.
It is a personal tool for manuals you own. It does not ship anyone else's instructions.
01Manual scanner and translator
Spend Less Time Figuring Out. More Time Building.
Read the page in front of you without leaving the bench.
Page outline
A live outline follows the page. Crop and straighten it, then keep page numbers and optional section tags.
On-screen translation
Translate the text in view while you build. Nothing is sent to us for translation. Check the result yourself.
On your device
Scanning and translation run on the device. There is no BuildLog account.
02Build log
Every Model Deserves Its Own Story.
The manual is the recipe. The log is the record.
Progress, notes, ratings, and time spent, including the stages of painting. Tomorrow starts on the page you marked. The app does not guess a last-opened page for you.
03Kit wishlist
Your Next Build Starts Here.
When you find a kit, save it before it slips away.
Keep kits you might buy, with the prices and links you save. Marking one as purchased keeps the same record.
04Paints, tools, and stock
Know What You Need. Know What You Own.
Plan the next purchase, and see what is already on the shelf.
Track stock and a shopping list. Save the price and the shop with each item you write down.
05Spending
Enjoy Your Hobby. Stay in Control.
Keep the hobby, and keep a number on what it costs.
See monthly and yearly totals, and compare them with a budget you set.
06Gallery and photo cards
Turn Your Builds Into Something Worth Sharing.
Photograph the finished kit, then make a card you can share yourself.
Background on the device
Lift a finished kit off its background on the device. The photo is not sent to us.
Photo card
Make a card with build time and ratings, then share it from the share sheet.
07Shops
Find a Shop When You Want One.
Look up shops in Safari or Maps.
Stock is not guaranteed. You can search by place, and location stays on the device if you allow it.
08iCloud
Your Builds Stay Yours.
The same library on the phone at the bench and the tablet on the desk.
Scans, photos, and notes stay on your device. If you turn on iCloud, the library syncs through your Apple account. We do not receive it.
Made for Builders. Built Around Your Hobby.
Read the manual, log the build, keep the paints and tools, plan the next kit, and see what you spent.
BuildLog keeps those pieces of the hobby together.
Every Build Has a Story.
Make Yours Count.
