About this app

Take control of your DIY hardware inventory, component costs, and project profit margins with MakerInventory.

Whether you are a custom mechanical keyboard builder, an electronics hobbyist, an IoT developer, or running a small-batch manufacturing business, MakerInventory is your ultimate offline-first companion. Stop relying on messy spreadsheets and start tracking your raw parts, blueprint recipes, and build logs directly from your pocket.
