## What is Craft MadeBy?

Craft MadeBy is a quiet home for people who make things by hand — knitting and crochet, sewing and textiles, embroidery and needlework, clay and ceramics, jewelry and beading, and every craft in between.

Not a feed that forgets by morning. A record that keeps.

RECORD THE PROCESS
Document a piece step by step: photos, materials, tools, costs in your own currency, and the hours behind it. Start the stopwatch when you sit down and it counts while you work — so the finished thing carries its whole story, not just a final photo.

COUNT ROWS WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE
The row counter belongs to the step you are on, not to a scrap of paper that falls behind the sofa. Add a second counter for raglan increases or a pattern repeat and it keeps its own tally beside the first. Counting mode goes full-screen and dark: tap anywhere to count, or use the volume keys, so the phone can sit in your lap and never be looked at. Put the counter on your home screen and count without opening the app at all.

YOUR CRAFT, YOUR CORNER
Choose the craft you work in and the app takes its character from it, with a hand-drawn mascot for company. Play the daily round — a question about your craft, a piece of history you probably did not know, a tip worth keeping. Answer well and you earn points. Come back days in a row and the streak pays a bonus.

DRESS THE PART
Spend those points in the wardrobe. Forty hats across eight collections — cozy, seasonal, gloriously silly, antiquity, and a premium shelf — each one dyeable, each one sitting exactly where you set it with the height gauge. Twenty-six cloths for the card your work is laid on. Small things. Yours.

GET CERTIFIED HANDMADE
Submit finished work to a panel of experienced crafters. Certified pieces earn a wax seal with your name on it — proof it was truly made by hand, and something no printed tag can claim.

BUILD YOUR LEGACY
Your portfolio gathers everything into one story: hours honed, pieces finished, reactions earned, seals collected. Grow from Crafter to Artisan, Master and Inspiring Leader, take a seat on the expert panel, and help decide what handmade means here.

SHARE AND GIVE
See what other crafters are building, and find them by name. Connect, join groups, and when a piece is meant for someone, wrap it properly — ribbon, bow, a note — then a private thread opens with whoever receives it. Or offer a finished piece to the community and choose who it goes to.

PREMIUM
Free for 14 days. Four photos on every step, up to 100 steps per project, insights and a printable project book, custom certificates, stamps and gift wrap, the home-screen widget, the premium hats and cloths, and gold honor on your profile and pieces.

The app itself is free. Cancel any time.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.21 — 2026-10-07

Your pieces are now shared with friends and groups only. The public feed is gone, and nothing you make is listed openly any more. A piece you shared publicly before keeps its old setting until you edit it — saving it then takes it off the open web.

Connections are Friends. The same people, in a word that fits what they are, everywhere in the app.

Starting a piece begins with your craft: the five crafts stand in a row as their own mascots, and the one you choose wakes up. If you have picked a mascot of your own, it wears your hat here.

An empty workshop no longer sits empty. It offers something small enough to finish — a lined tote bag, a pinch-pot mug — and one tap carries the idea into the form.

Gifts has moved next to Create, and the story of how a giveaway works now waits for your tap instead of running on without you.

In night counting, the extra counters are two to a line and far bigger. The counters on the home-screen widget grew too.

Smaller things: Discover opens on your friends and keeps the craft filters; the settings gear on your portfolio says what it is before it becomes a gear; and a profile photo that came from Google now counts towards your intro checklist.

### 1.0.20 — 2026-09-26

Until now your mascot only ever performed for you. It greets visitors too now: it turns up when somebody opens one of your pieces, wearing the hat you chose for it, and your profile photo turns over once to introduce it before settling back.

Visitors get one short hello rather than a loop — it is your page they came to read.

If you would rather keep your mascot to yourself, Change theme has a new switch: Hide from others. Your mascot then stays on your own screens only — not on your pieces, not on your card. You still see it everywhere, exactly as before.

### 1.0.19 — 2026-09-25

Your Theme corner has a wardrobe now. Play the daily round, earn points, and spend them on your mascot: forty hats across eight collections, and fourteen cloths for the card your pieces sit on. A gauge beside the mascot sets how high or low a hat sits, and every hat remembers its own.

Hats and Card cloth are tidier. Shelves are merged, each one says how many it holds, and the mascots on the tiles are bigger. Premium members get their own collections, with a few unlocked from the start.

Portfolio is calmer: settings moved inside the card, the honours bar sits under it, and on any profile you can filter the pieces by craft.

Recording time and rows now names the step you are counting for, and a second counter keeps its own tally beside the first.

The home-screen widget is a Premium perk.

Forms are simpler. Saving a step is a button rather than a slide, and the visibility you choose is marked in green.

The free trial is now fourteen days.

Fixed: the red dots on Giveaways and Connections came back after signing out or reinstalling. They stay with your account now.

### 1.0.18 — 2026-09-17

Your Workshop now opens first. Every piece in progress sits in one row, each with its own “Add a step”, and your finished pieces follow. Starting a new piece takes just a photo and a name — the rest can wait under “Add more details”.

Find crafters by name as you type, or paste an invite code to find someone exactly.

Profiles are clearer: Connect, Connections and Groups sit side by side. Once you are connected, you can see each other's connections and groups, and you can withdraw a request or remove a connection right from the profile.

Signing in is simpler: continue with Google, Apple or email.

Your portfolio is one tap away, behind your picture in the top bar.

Fixed: some invite codes could not be found.

### 1.0.17 — 2026-09-08

No changes to the app itself this time — we have refreshed how Craft MadeBy is presented on the App Store, now in your language.

Inside, everything works as before: run the stopwatch while you work, log your materials and tools as you reach for them, photograph each step as you finish it, and submit the completed piece to the Expert Panel to be certified handmade.
