BuildChronicle

[Make your model kit building more enjoyable and record it more meticulously]

BuildChronicle is a modeler-exclusive chronicle app designed for model kit enthusiasts (Gundam models, scale models, Mini 4WDs, etc.), allowing you to beautifully record and manage every step of your model-building process.

Manage multiple projects simultaneously and intuitively identify them with cover photos and theme colors. Gather your construction and painting processes, your preferred color recipes, and photos of the process to create your own "ultimate build record."

🛠 Main Features and Details
1. Intuitive Project Management

Smartly manage the start date, progress, and completion status for each project.

Set your favorite cover photo and theme color to intuitively distinguish between multiple kits you're working on.

2. Two-Tier Process/Step Recording (Templates Available)

A two-tiered structure of [Categorized Processes] such as "Construction" and "Painting," and detailed [Sub-Steps] within those, allows you to meticulously record your daily work chronologically.

Frequently used process patterns can be templated. These can be reused with a single tap when building your next kit.

3. Color Management & High-Speed ​​Search (Mixing Ratios Also Saved)

Organize the paints you use by manufacturer and quickly search by color number or name.

You can also save your preferred "mixing ratios" as data, so you won't get lost when touching up after completion or recreating the same colors as in past works.

4. Photo Gallery

Neatly organize photos of your work in progress and photos of your finished, meticulously completed model within the same project.

Supports both viewing photos directly linked to each process and viewing the entire work in a gallery.

5. Tool & Material Management

Centralize your inventory of tools and consumables (nippers, airbrush, putty, masking tape, etc.).

Eliminate the "Do I already have this?" moments at the model shop and completely prevent duplicate purchases and forgotten items.

6. Wish List (Integration with Partner Shopping Services)

Stock items you're interested in during your project, or kits you want to acquire next, in the app's "Wish List."

A smooth search and purchase process is also ensured on Rakuten Market.

🛡 Secure and Reliable Design
Fully Local Operation: All data is securely stored in a local database (SQLite) on your device, without using a server. It operates smoothly and efficiently without worrying about external connections.
