You buy glass by the sheet and color, foil by the roll, solder by the pound — and every project sheds a margin of breakage and bad cuts that your prices have to absorb. MadeKeeper tracks the sheet stock, builds the breakage in, and tells you what each panel and suncatcher really made you.
The app is live. Free during the pilot. Founding rate $19/mo, locked for life.

Say you build a mid-size suncatcher:
At $65 on the market table, you kept $48.22 before fees — and a season of those numbers tells you whether panels, suncatchers, or commissions deserve more of your bench.
MadeKeeper keeps simple materials records per piece — including which work used leaded came — written down in the app rather than remembered.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Each sheet logs at its price and size; pieces pull square footage down with a breakage factor you set. When a color runs out mid-commission, you'll know before the glass cutter does.
Yes — a commissioned panel logs with its deposit, its materials, and its hours. When it's installed, you'll see what the job truly paid against the weeks it took.
Only in the materials: foil rolls versus came lengths, both logged and pulled per piece. The math is the same honest math either way.
