Track Crafts Inventory and Projects Custom-designed with the help of experienced crafters, Krafts is smart about helping you organize your materials and projects. You can add and edit categories to suit your needs. The built-in UPC scanner uses your device’s camera to scan barcodes and automatically fetch product images (if available online). While shopping, you can scan barcodes in the store to easily check if you have those items in your inventory. You can also “flag” items that have special significance (e.g., need restocking). Krafts is not affiliated with any supplier or retailer, so the app never tries to sell you stuff. The data in the app are YOUR data — no ads, promos, or company videos. Krafts is more complicated than similar inventory apps, but that’s because it’s flexible and does so much more. Please read the extensive Help section in the app (and online at: http://mat.buddy.com/krafts). Features: • Maintain inventory of supplies and tools. • Enter new project ideas and track projects through to completion. Add more details along the way. • Designed for any craft. • Create your own categories (e.g., “Card Stock,” “Tools,” “Books”). • Add customized fields to each category (e.g., “Name,” “Quantity,” “Company,” “Photo”). • Keeps photos of your items and completed projects. • Scan UPC barcodes using the camera (only some codes have online data, see below). • Scan store items while shopping to check for matches in your inventory. • Add item photos using the camera or barcode scan. • Help page assists with learning the app. • Tutorial mode: help and tips for every screen. • In-app Backup/Restore to/from your desktop PC. • Email or print your entire database for safekeeping. The scanner uses a public database to convert UPC codes to text. The database does not include all barcodes, and new ones are being added daily. However, even if a barcode is not in the database, Krafts will still save the number to allow match-ups when scanning the same barcode in your stash or a store. Please contact me directly with questions or suggestions (hint: use the "Email Jeff..." button on all Help pages). Please do not put questions and suggestions in a review because I'll have no way to contact you.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MyStuff2 Pro at Free against Krafts Inventory's $2.99. MyStuff2 Pro also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Krafts Inventory's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and review sentiment (77% vs 68%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyStuff2 Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyStuff2 Pro has 533 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Krafts Inventory's written reviews are positive against 68% of MyStuff2 Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Krafts Inventory ships an update every 2 months, MyStuff2 Pro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
