MakerLog: Craft Journal

Last updated: 12 November 2026

MakerLog is a journal for creative projects, for iPhone. It's made by SGWNI, a one-person app studio (“I”, “me”). This policy explains what information the app handles and where it goes.

In short

• Your projects, journal entries, photos, income and costs stay on your devices and in your own iCloud. I never receive them.
• There's no account to make.
• The app counts how it's used, anonymously, with TelemetryDeck. The counts never include what you write or your photos.
• Maker Log Pro is sold through the App Store, and RevenueCat checks whether you have it.
• There's no advertising, no tracking across other apps or websites, and nothing is sold or shared.

Your journal

Your projects, journal entries, photos, income and costs, supplies, categories and settings are stored in the app on your device. If iCloud is on, they sync between your devices through your own private iCloud account, which I can't access. The app only gets the photos you pick.

Anonymous usage statistics

MakerLog uses TelemetryDeck to count how the app is used. For example, a signal is sent when:

• the app is opened, and when the welcome pages are viewed or finished
• a project, journal entry, income or cost, supply or supply category is created, or a project is marked completed
• Insights or search is opened
• the app asks you for a review
• the Maker Log Pro screen is shown or closed, or a purchase or restore succeeds or fails
• the App Store link to another of my apps is tapped

Some signals carry a count, such as how many photos or supplies an entry has, but never the content. Each signal also carries general details such as the app version, iOS version, type of device and language. TelemetryDeck doesn't collect names, email addresses or locations, and the identifier it uses is anonymised before it leaves your device. The signals never include your project names, entries, notes, photos or amounts.

Subscriptions

Maker Log Pro is an auto-renewing subscription sold through the App Store. Apple handles payment, so I never see your payment details, name or Apple Account. The app uses RevenueCat to check whether you have Pro: RevenueCat receives your App Store purchase and subscription details, basic device information and a random identifier created by the app.

Crash reports and email

• If you've chosen in your device's settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may share crash reports from MakerLog with me. These don't include your journal.
• If you email me, I receive your email address and your message, and use them only to reply.

Keeping and deleting your information

Your journal stays until you delete it. To remove everything, delete the app and its iCloud data in Settings › your name › iCloud › Manage Storage. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to ask what information is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to how it's used. Your journal stays on your devices and in your own iCloud, so I hold none of it. I use the anonymous statistics because it's in my legitimate interest to understand how the app is used and improve it; TelemetryDeck processes them on my behalf. Requests about App Store purchases go to Apple, which holds them.

Children

MakerLog isn't directed at children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
