Everything it does

The whole maker back office.

From the first material you buy to the packet you hand your tax guy.

MadeKeeper is one place for the business side of making things — the inventory, the money, the deductions, the "should I do this fair again?" call. Here's every part of it, and a straight line between what works today and what we're building next. No feature listed here is invented; the ones marked Live now are in the app right this minute.

Know your true numbers

Most makers price by feel and find out in April whether it worked. MadeKeeper turns your materials and your sales into the one number that matters: what you actually kept.

Live now
Materials inventoryEvery material — glaze, clay, thread, wax, resin, beads — with a unit cost and a running quantity on hand. It draws down as you make and sell, so you know when to reorder before a batch stalls.
Live now
True cost per pieceGive a product a recipe of materials and MadeKeeper computes its real cost of goods automatically. Change a material price and every piece that uses it updates. Now your prices come from numbers.
Live now
Products in bulk or one-of-a-kindRun a line of mugs with real stock counts, or list a single carved vase in portfolio mode. Same app, whichever way you make.
Live now
The month-at-a-glance dashboardRevenue, true profit after materials and fees, margin, units sold, and which piece is your best earner and which is dead weight.

Sell it, and count it once

You sell at the booth, on Etsy, off your own site, and out of the back of the car. Logging a sale should take one tap and update everything else on its own.

Live now
Log any sale, from any channelBooth, Etsy, your own website, or a friend who Venmo'd you. Record it once; stock drops, materials draw down, and the money lands on your books and your taxes.
Building
Card reader for the boothTake a tap-to-pay card right at your table, and the sale posts to your books without a second app.
Building
Your own storefrontA place to sell online under your own name — your work, your brand, not buried in a marketplace search.
Building
Etsy + Square syncYour online orders and your booth sales flowing into the same dashboard automatically, no copy-paste.
Building
Shipping labels at commercial ratesBuy and print the label on the order it belongs to, and the postage cost logs itself against that sale.
Building
Email your past buyersThe customer list is yours to keep. Tell the people who already bought from you when the new batch drops.

Know which fairs to keep

A booth fee and a two-hour drive can quietly eat a whole Saturday's take. MadeKeeper does the math you don't want to do at the end of a long market day.

Live now
Was it worth it?For each event, subtract the booth fee, the miles, the materials in what you sold, and the card fees — down to cash profit and profit per hour. Then it tells you plainly whether to go back.
Live now
Rank your marketsLine every fair up side by side and see which ones pay your time and which ones are costing you. Book next season on evidence.

Come tax time, hand it over

The goal is a February afternoon, not an April scramble. Capture the deductions all year and the packet builds itself.

Live now
Mileage at the IRS rateThe 96 miles to that fair are money. Log the drive and it lands on your Schedule C at the standard rate — not lost in a glovebox notebook.
Live now
Business expensesCanopy, packaging, tools, listing fees — logged by category so nothing gets left on the table.
Live now
The year-end packet + CSV exportGross revenue, cost of goods, fees, booth fees, expenses, mileage, and an estimated net — totaled in Schedule-C-friendly columns your preparer can read at a glance.
Building
AI does the data entrySnap a craft-store receipt and the materials log themselves with prices. Photo a finished piece and a draft listing writes itself. The boring half, handled.
Building
Commissions on your portfolioLet someone request a custom piece straight from a one-of-a-kind you've already sold — a new order, no cold inquiry email.
