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
