BuildTab helps makers track the true cost of their projects — not just what they bought, but what they actually used. Used 200g of a 1kg spool? BuildTab calculates the $5 it cost your project, not the $25 you paid at the store. That's partial usage tracking, and it's what makes BuildTab different from every spreadsheet, notes app, and generic budgeting tool. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Add expenses with the full purchase details, then enter how much you actually used. BuildTab does the maths instantly and shows you the real project cost. TIME TRACKING Log hours spent on each project and set your hourly rate to calculate labour costs. See your total investment — materials plus time — so you know what your work is really worth. Perfect for makers who sell their creations or just want the complete picture. KNOW WHAT TO CHARGE New in this version: if you sell your work, BuildTab suggests a sale price. Set your overhead and a target profit margin, and it builds a price from your true cost — materials, labour, and overhead. Record what a piece actually sold for and see your real profit. It does margin properly, too: profit as a share of the sale price, not a markup on cost. SHARE YOUR WORK Generate beautiful social media images to show off your completed projects. Export detailed PDF reports with cover photos, notes, spending breakdowns, expenses, and time entries — perfect for client invoices or personal records. MATERIALS LIBRARY Save the materials you use regularly with their default prices and units. Next time you add an expense, pick from your library instead of typing everything again. BUDGET TRACKING Set a budget for each project and watch your spending in real time. The progress bar shows exactly where you stand — green when you're on track, amber when you're getting close. BUILT FOR MAKERS BuildTab is designed for people who build things with their hands — woodworkers, 3D printers, leatherworkers, knitters, miniature painters, electronics tinkerers, resin artists, and every kind of maker.
