Leather Project Tracker - Hide

Your leathercraft build journal. Log every leather, thread, and hardware choice - so you always know what made that project great.

Every leatherworker has had the same moment: a customer asks to reorder that wallet from six months ago. What leather was it? What weight? Which tannery? What dye? Without a project log, you're guessing.

Hide is the build journal built for leatherworkers. Log every detail of every project - leather type and tannery, thread weight and colour, hardware specs, technique notes, and hours spent. When the reorder comes in, the answer is three taps away.

TRACK YOUR BUILDS Document projects from pattern to finished piece. Record the leather (Wickett and Craig Harness, 4-5oz, English Tan), the thread (Tiger 0.6mm, cream), the hardware (solid brass trigger snaps), and every technique choice that made the difference. Build stages keep you organised from cutting through edge finishing.

KNOW YOUR LEATHER INVENTORY Catalogue every hide, offcut, and scrap with tannery, type, weight, colour, and remaining square footage. Know exactly what you have before you start planning your next project.

TRACK YOUR TRUE HOURLY RATE Log hours per build stage and add your materials cost. Hide calculates your actual hourly rate across every project - not what you hoped you were making, but what you're actually making. Essential if you sell at craft fairs or on Etsy.

HARDWARE AND TOOLS INVENTORY Stop searching drawers for that one 3/4 inch solid brass D-ring. Catalogue your hardware by size, finish, and quantity. Track your tools and when they need sharpening or replacing.

AI LEATHER GUIDE (Pro) Get answers about leather properties, technique questions, and finishing methods - specific to the project you're working on. Ask about edge finishing on veg-tan, thread tension for hand-stitching, or conditioner recommendations for shell cordovan.
