Do you remember the day you made your first sale? The materials you experimented with. The late nights spent crafting. The kind words from your customers. — Are you keeping track of it all? Maker's Note is the all-in-one app that records your entire craft journey — from gallery and materials to orders, costing, sales analysis, and tax reports. As your small daily records add up, you'll look back one day and feel proud of how far you've come. ------------------ ◆ Build your own product gallery ------------------ Record each creation with photos. Switch to gallery view and see your personal portfolio come to life. Log materials, labor time, and expenses to auto-calculate costs. Discover insights like "I was barely making a profit on this piece" — and adjust your pricing with confidence. Use "Template Duplicate" to create color or size variations in one tap — no need to start from scratch. ------------------ ◆ Material inventory & shopping list ------------------ From simple price-per-unit tracking to full FIFO inventory management — choose the style that fits you. Low-stock materials are automatically added to your shopping list. See the last purchase price and store at a glance, with one-tap directions to your supplier. Record damaged or leftover materials as "disposal" — automatically reflected in inventory and expenses. ------------------ ◆ Production log — look back on every day you created ------------------ One tap to log each production. A dated history of what you made, when, and how many. Materials are auto-consumed from inventory; product stock increases automatically. Log failed productions as "spoilage," or undo a record to restore materials. ------------------ ◆ Order management — keep every promise ------------------ Track custom orders from received → in progress → complete → shipped → done, with one-tap status updates. Get notified as deadlines approach, with automatic iOS calendar integration. Customer info, order history, totals, and reviews are all tracked automatically. ------------------ ◆ Event POS — your phone becomes a register ------------------ At craft fairs and markets, your iPhone/iPad becomes a full POS register. Tap products to add to cart; change is calculated automatically. The Profit Guide shows your margin and hourly rate in real time — negotiate discounts without worrying about selling below cost. ------------------ ◆ Achievement board — see your growth in numbers ------------------ Monthly, yearly, and cumulative sales graphs. Top 10 product rankings. Earn Bronze to Platinum medals as you hit sales milestones — celebrating your creative journey. ------------------ ◆ Region collection — collect the places your work has reached ------------------ Automatically collect the states, provinces, and countries your products have been shipped to. Watch the map fill in, piece by piece. Special celebrations for your first shipment, first international order, and collection completion. Supports 69 countries. ------------------ ◆ Map — see your world at a glance ------------------ Pin event venues, suppliers, and consignment shops on the map. Customer reviews are displayed right on the map. ------------------ ◆ Reports — tax season, handled ------------------ Export 5 reports (sales, expenses, inventory, P&L, customer transactions) as CSV or PDF with one tap. Compatible with popular accounting software CSV formats. If you keep your daily records, tax prep takes care of itself. ----- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRQLBWxPqUWFXYXLn2AgY23zdORK5tRzj3SiUb1MVcWIfksqlRJYOQT1QdLCRzuMILG_RIxFpojRXvc/pub ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | Premium (Individual) 1 Month | $0.99 | per month | | Premium (Individual) 6 Month | $2.99 | per 6 months | | Premium (Family) 6 Month | $5.99 | per 6 months | | Premium (Family) 1 Month | $1.99 | per month | | Premium (Individual) 12 Month | $4.99 | per year | | Premium (Family) 12 Month | $9.99 | per year | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 3.8.3 — 2026-08-26 • Improved iCloud sync reliability Fixed an issue where newly added works, materials, and other data sometimes failed to sync between iPhone and iPad. Sync diagnostics have also been enhanced. • Fixed iPad Layout Issues Fixed an issue where displaying works added on iPad could distort the layout of the work name, sales information, inventory, and other details depending on the photo’s aspect ratio. ### 3.8.2 — 2026-08-17 • Material QR Codes for Easy Storage You can now create and save QR labels for materials. Show the material name and a label note such as color or size to make stored materials easier to identify. • Batch QR Labels for Works and Materials In My Shop, select multiple works and materials from the gallery and combine them in your chosen order into one A4 PDF. Set the label options once, then share or print it. • Open Works and Materials from the Menu Scan a QR code from the menu in the top left to open the work or material details directly. In Event Register, only work QR codes are added to the cart, just as before. ### 3.8.1 — 2026-08-17 We updated the App Store information to make the features in Maker's Note easier to understand. In-app features are unchanged from version 3.8.0. ### 3.8.0 — 2026-08-14 • Set how much each material contributes to a product’s selling price, and view actual material costs separately from material margins. • Calculate a recommended selling price based on your target profit margin, material margins, other expenses, and labor target. You can also view a clear breakdown in a chart. • Create and save product QR codes with photos. Scan them at the event register to add products to the cart, while continuing to view the cart during consecutive scans. ### 3.7.0 — 2026-08-12 We’ve made a major update to Events. • Manage Event POS, past event sales, multi-day plans, and preparation tasks from one place. You can still start the familiar POS right away. • Enter planned, packed, and returned quantities directly. Use current stock or copy the planned quantity as the packed quantity to prepare faster and spot shortages in advance. After an event, review sales goals and results by product. • Manage event expenses, flyers and PDFs, maps, device calendars, reminders, and event analytics for each event. • When starting Event POS from a plan, switch between “Works to Bring” and “All Works.” Works to Bring appears first, and the cart stays intact when switching. • Enter decimal prices for currencies that use them. FIFO unit costs, material costs, cash received, and change are now calculated more accurately. ## Apps similar to Maker's Note | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [CraftNest - Craft Log & AI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/craftnest-craft-log-and-ai/id6760218985) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [amitsumugi /KnittingLogCounter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/amitsumugi-knittinglogcounter/id6748850289) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [IeKan: Family Home Care](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/iekan-family-home-care/id6764244913) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [あみもの記録](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/id6762365778) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [推しの月](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/id6758103603) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Hope City RI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hope-city-ri/id1667686485) | — | Free | Lifestyle | ## More apps by Atsuhiro Inoue - [LumoCalculatorVault](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lumocalculatorvault/id6758154308) - [MyFanClub - Oshi Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/myfanclub-oshi-tracker/id6758578516) - [Stral](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/stral/id6760584409) - [HomeBoad](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/homeboad/id6762365676) - [WordWolfParty](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wordwolfparty/id6762510429) All apps by Atsuhiro Inoue: https://appshunter.io/developer/1871193294 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
