MakerStats gives MakerWorld creators a dedicated dashboard for tracking their 3D printing stats: followers, boosts, likes, downloads, prints, points, and crowdfunding campaigns, all in one place. REAL-TIME STATS TRACKING See your MakerWorld profile stats update throughout the day. Daily increase counters reset at midnight so you always know how your numbers are growing. Track multiple MakerWorld accounts and switch between them instantly. MODEL PERFORMANCE Monitor every model you've published. See which designs are getting the most downloads, prints, and likes. Spot trending, featured, and exclusive models at a glance with color-coded badges. POINTS TRACKING Log in to your MakerWorld account securely to track your points earnings. See daily point gains, regional gift-card values, and detect withdrawals automatically. Regular points display in your local Points Shop currency (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, KRW, CNY) so the values match what you see on MakerWorld. Exclusive points display in USD to match MakerWorld's creator cashout currency. CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGNS Track every active, upcoming, and past crowdfunding campaign on your MakerWorld account in one tab. Each campaign card shows total raised, unique backers, total pledges, and today's daily increases. Tap a campaign for the detail page with a cumulative-raised chart you can inspect day by day, plus a reward-tier breakdown showing where pledges are landing. Optional notifications fire when new pledges come in. WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITIES Add Home Screen widgets in Small, Medium, and Large sizes to check your stats without opening the app. The Medium widget shows your points alongside the main stats. Enable Lock Screen Live Activities for real-time updates on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. CHARTS & ANALYTICS Visualize your growth over time with interactive charts. Choose from 7-day, 30-day, 180-day, and 365-day views to spot trends in your creator journey. Tap any bar in the chart to see the exact values for that day across every metric. BACKGROUND REFRESH Stats update automatically in the background so your numbers stay fresh, even when you haven't opened the app. NOTIFICATIONS Get notified when you hit follower milestones, when one of your models starts trending or gets featured by MakerWorld staff, or when your crowdfunding campaign receives a new pledge.
