Summary

HueBuddy is an AI-powered iOS app that helps artists and art students mix paint with confidence by providing precise paint mixing recipes using real physical pigments.

HueBuddy helps artists mix paint with confidence. Upload a photo and get precise, paint mixing recipes using real, physical pigments - not digital colour values.
I wanted to learn Cursor, asked my wife for an app idea, and this was something she actually wanted to use as an artist.
HueBuddy is currently free, already has daily users, and we're shipping new features every month!
Hey Daren, love that this came from your wife actually needing it.
