I built an app to track true profit and I need Etsy sellers to try it

For a while I thought my laser engraving sales were going well. Orders coming in, money landing in my account, repeat customers. Then I sat down one afternoon and actually worked out what each item cost me to make. Materials. The time I spent on it. Etsy's fees. Listing fees. Shipping. It was a lot less than I thought.

Some items I was essentially breaking even. One or two I was losing money on when I factored in how long they took. I had been so focused on whether orders were coming in that I had stopped asking whether they were worth taking.

The spreadsheet that got out of hand

I started tracking costs in a spreadsheet. It worked, but it became its own job. Updating material prices when I restocked. Remembering which version of a product used the old rate. Figuring out platform fees for different channels. I am a programmer. I built a spreadsheet when I should have built a tool.

So eventually I did.

What the app actually does

Maker Profit Tracker is an Android app for craft sellers. You add your materials and their costs. You build products from those materials, set your labor rate, and add the channels you sell on. Etsy, craft fairs, wherever. When you log a sale, it calculates your real profit: what you kept after every cost is accounted for.

It handles material waste percentages, which matters more than people think. If you are cutting a shape from a sheet and a third of the sheet ends up as offcuts, you need to account for that or your cost figures are wrong. It handles Etsy's transaction fee, payment processing, and listing fee separately. It tracks overhead, studio costs, tool depreciation, whatever you want to spread across your units. And it handles monthly ad spend per channel, so if you are running Etsy Ads, that cost actually shows up in your profit numbers.

Everything runs on your phone, offline. Nothing goes to a server. Your pricing data stays on your device.

Why I need your help

I have built it for the way I sell. I do not know if I have built it for the way you sell. Maybe you have product variations I have not thought about. Maybe the materials workflow is awkward for the way you buy supplies. Maybe something is confusing that feels obvious to me because I built it.

I am looking for Etsy sellers, craft fair sellers, anyone running a small handmade business who wants to give it a proper try and tell me what is wrong with it. Not people who will say it is nice. People who will use it on a real order and tell me where it fell down.

It is a closed test on Google Play, which means you need to opt in before you can install it. You will need a Google account. Once you have joined, the app installs through the Play Store like anything else.

If you try it and have feedback, you can reach me through the contact on this site. I read everything.
