About

MakerLink

Features
Read full description

MakerLink is a creative journal and maker community for people who build, bake, craft, repair, design, and learn by doing. Every work has a journey. MakerLink helps you capture the full story behind a real project — your idea, progress, problems, improvements, and finished result — all in one place. Create a work, add updates, save meaningful stages, publish when ready, and let ideas grow through forks and new directions. HOW MAKERLINK WORKS 1 Create a Work
Start with something real you want to make, repair, cook, build, design, or improve. Add inspiration, materials, tools, and your next step. 2 Add Updates
Log progress as you go. Record what changed, what failed, what you learned, what you’ll try next, photos, mood, and time spent. 3 Save Stages
Turn experiments, fixes, and improvements into clear milestones. Each stage represents a meaningful version of your work. 4 Publish When Ready
Share only the stage you choose. Your private drafts and unfinished updates stay private. 5 Fork & Evolve
Discover works from other makers. Fork a published stage and grow it into your own new direction without copying the creator’s private history. EXPLORE REAL MAKER WORKS Browse creative projects across baking, woodworking, pottery, leathercraft, DIY, art, and more. Like, save, comment, follow creators, and discover works that inspire your next build. EVOLUTION NETWORK See how ideas branch and grow across the community. Every fork creates a new path in the Evolution Network — from one recipe to new variations, from one handmade object to entirely new directions. YOUR CREATOR PROFILE Build a profile around your creative journey:
• Creator DNA — understand your creative style and categories
• Work dashboard — track progress from idea to completed work
• Achievements — celebrate milestones and creative activity
• Saved works — collect projects that inspire you BUILT FOR REAL MAKERS MakerLink is designed for hobbyists, crafters, DIY builders, home cooks, artists, and anyone who learns by doing. Document the messy middle — not just the final photo. PRIVACY FIRST Your private updates and unpublished stages are never shared. You control exactly what the community sees. OPTIONAL MEMBERSHIP MakerLink offers optional VIP and SVIP subscriptions for advanced creator tools, including detailed Creator DNA, Work Insights, custom covers, expanded archive, and advanced fork lineage views. Core creation features remain available for free. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.
