Studio Protocol v0.1 Mac App Store
makermind ai*

The business side of making, beautifully organized.

Built around the way you actually work — not a spreadsheet, not a warehouse system.
Your materials, batches, orders, and margins — all in one place.

Watch the Film

The studio,
in motion.

You make extraordinary things.
Your software shouldn't hold you back.

01

The spreadsheet trap.

Your COGS in one tab. Orders in another. Inventory in a third. Nothing talks to anything — and pricing is always a guess.

02

The margin mystery.

You know what you charge. You're less sure what it costs. Material waste, labor, packaging, fees — the real number stays hidden.

03

The inventory tangle.

Stock runs out mid-batch. You reorder too early or too late. When you sell on three channels, what's actually available is anyone's guess.

A fully populated studio command center, not an empty placeholder.

The Lovely Rose Apothecary view brings planning, reorder intelligence, channel status, COGS, and active orders into one working surface for the maker behind the business.

One place for everything.
So you can focus on the making.

Order Flow

Orders, inventory, and channels — finally in sync.

Every order from Shopify, Etsy, and Square in one clear view. See what's selling, what's shipping, and what needs attention — without the tab-switching.

  • Real-time order flow from every shop
  • Stock updates automatically when orders ship
  • Sales velocity across every channel at a glance

Batch Planner

Intelligence for the studio behind every product.

Know exactly when to run your next batch — based on what's actually selling and what you have on hand. Plan your runs, track progress, and never get caught off guard.

  • Smart batch sizing based on what's actually selling
  • Production scheduling and status tracking
  • Alerts before you run out of what you need

Recipe Costing

Know your margins. Price with confidence.

Know the true cost of every product — ingredients, labor, packaging, all of it. Price with confidence instead of feeling like you're guessing.

  • Per-ingredient cost breakdown by batch
  • Margin tracking by product and batch
  • Revenue and expense view across your studio

Ask the studio what to do next.

Artisan Assistant uses the studio context already inside MakerMind, so The Lovely Rose can ask from open orders, inventory, production pressure, and margin data.

Designed for the studio, not the spreadsheet.
