Boro rod by the pound, COE-matched so nothing cracks, frit by the ounce — and underneath all of it, propane and oxygen burning by the torch hour. In glass, fuel routinely outcosts the glass itself, and pricing that ignores the tank bill is a slow leak. MadeKeeper puts the flame on the books.

Say you work a boro pendant:
At $58 you kept $43.55 before fees. Notice the fuel and kiln were more than the glass — that's the number most torch pricing never sees.
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.

Work out what an hour of your torch costs in propane and oxygen — MadeKeeper logs it as a per-hour consumable each piece pulls. When tank prices move, update once and every future piece reprices.
Yes — a kiln cycle logs at its cost and spreads across the pieces in the batch. Small pieces in a full kiln cost pennies; one big piece alone carries the whole run.
Every rod and tube logs as its own material with its own COE and price, so your inventory mirrors your bench — and your costs pull from the glass you actually used.
