Before you download
All ten Apple apps are free to download. Sidewall Maven and Bucket Maven include read-only examples; Fabric Belt Splice and Motor Maven let you explore included examples. Paid access unlocks the editing, calculations or exports described on each product page. Splice Maven QA provides all QC features for free, with an optional purchase to remove dashboard advertising.
Check each app’s platform label and Apple’s current OS requirements. Seven apps have native Mac releases; Conveyor Maven and Splice Maven QA also list Apple silicon Mac compatibility for their iPad apps. Feeder Maven’s currently confirmed release is Apple Vision Pro. Product pages and Apple’s listing explain the applicable platforms.
Fabric Belt Splice plans step and finger splice geometry and prepares drawings and build instructions. Steel Cord Splice guides field construction with AR on compatible iPhone and iPad devices, backed by splice design, analysis and drawings on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Splice Maven QA records the inspections, process readings, photos and signatures from the job. They serve different stages of the work.
Each product page links to its support, privacy and applicable terms. You can also use the app privacy and support directory at the bottom of this page. Email support@mavensoftware.ai with an app question.

Colorado School of Mines ProEd · In person
April 14–16, 2027
October 20–22, 2027 · Golden, Colorado
Three days with Dr. Andrew I. Hustrulid covering conveyor engineering, component selection, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting—from the field and the factory, as well as the calculations.
Every attendee receives CEMA's Belt Conveyors for Bulk Materials, 7th Edition.
SME MINEXCHANGE 2027 · In person · Save the date
February 27–28, 2027 · Denver, Colorado
Two days of practical insight into designing, maintaining and troubleshooting reliable bulk material handling systems in the real world, at the Colorado Convention Center as part of the 2027 SME Annual Conference & Expo.
Featured instructors include Carrie Hartford (Jenike & Johanson), Todd Hollingsworth (NEPEAN Conveyors) and Andrew Hustrulid (Maven Software).
Presented by the Bulk Material Handling Committee of SME.
The first course devoted to the conveyor pulley: shaft, shell, end disk and locking assembly from first principles to the shop floor, taught to your engineering team on your own pulleys. For pulley manufacturers, companies entering pulley manufacturing, and the end users who depend on them.
An introduction to conveyor belt systems in mining, aggregate, and bulk-material handling: how conveyors are constructed and designed, how each component works, and the safety practices that keep them running reliably.
Builds on Conveyor Systems 101, covering inspection routines, belt tracking and troubleshooting, preventive and predictive maintenance, and the real cost of carryback, spillage, and downtime.
Independent engineering support for conveyor systems, from concept design through failure investigation and expert testimony.
