Features
One logbook for the whole bench
Inventory, cost, maintenance, and a journal, instead of five single-purpose apps or a brand-locked cloud.
Track filament
- A spool inventory with grams remaining and cost for every roll.
- One-tap "used 25 g", or scan an NFC tag or barcode.
- Weigh-to-update: put the spool on a kitchen scale, type the reading, and Gyroid does the tare math (the core weight is remembered).
- Low-filament flags so you reorder before a print fails on an empty spool.
- Resin mode for MSLA, tracked in millilitres.
Know the cost
- Filament + electricity + machine depreciation per print, not a guess.
- Add labor and a failure allowance for a real shop price.
- A standalone calculator, and a cost saved with every logged print.
Stay maintained
- Nozzle, belt, lubrication, and lead-screw reminders by print-hours.
- Per-printer schedules: logging a print advances the clock automatically.
- A maintenance history that proves a machine is cared for.
Keep a journal
- Model, printer, filament used, the settings that worked, success or fail.
- A photo per print and a searchable history.
- Saved profiles per printer and material so you never re-dial settings.
- Failure analysis: success rate by material and by printer, so the log becomes a diagnosis.
Log without typing
- Open a G-code or 3MF from Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, or Cura and the entry pre-fills itself: name, time, grams, material.
- Siri & Shortcuts: log a print, check filament remaining, or start the print timer from a smart-plug automation.
- A print timer with a Live Activity — and when it finishes, the alert opens the log already filled in.
- "Print it again" re-logs a repeat print with the same spool, printer, and settings.
On every screen
- Home-screen widgets: filament remaining per spool and the next maintenance due.
- Spotlight search: type "benchy" on the home screen, land on the log entry.
- An Apple Watch companion with watch-face complications for filament and maintenance.
- An on-deck print queue that checks each plan against what's left on the spool.
- A monthly bench recap — prints, filament, cost, success rate — computed entirely on device.
For the whole bench
- Brand-agnostic: a Bambu, a Creality, and a resin machine side by side.
- Multiple printers with separate history and schedules.
- CSV export for Numbers, Excel, or your Etsy spreadsheet.
Private by design
- Works offline at the bench. No account, no OEM cloud login.
- Your data stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud.
- No ads, no tracking, no data sale.
