# About makerhandle

> makerhandle is a link in bio for makers and founders: every project with its status and revenue verified from Stripe, Paddle and more.

## What it does

- Free forever for up to 5 projects. Pro is $20/year (USD) and lifts the caps: unlimited projects, every template, the theme builder, a custom domain and no badge.
- Every project shows its status: active, building, acquired, on hold or discontinued.
- Revenue can be verified: connect Stripe with a read-only restricted key, Shopify with a read-only app, or Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad or RevenueCat with an API key, and the figure carries a check mark. A typed-in figure is shown as self-reported.
- Each project has its own public page at makerhandle.com/<handle>/<project> with its revenue chart, status and links.
- Built-in analytics in the style of Plausible: visitors, sources, countries, devices and project clicks, with no cookies and no stored IP addresses.
- Email subscribers with double opt-in and CSV export, or a button to an existing newsletter.
- 7 page templates and 37 color palettes, plus a theme builder on Pro.
- A custom domain with SSL on Pro: one DNS record, certificates issued and renewed automatically.
- Import an existing Indie Page, Linktree, Stan Store, Taplink or Carrd page in one step.
- Sign in with Google, GitHub or an email and password; two-factor login with an authenticator app.
- Referral program: each maker who joins from an invite link and adds a project earns both sides a month of Pro, up to a year.
- A public leaderboard ranks projects by monthly revenue, with a verified-only view.

## Who it is for

Indie hackers, SaaS founders, app developers, designers, open source maintainers, store owners and anyone with more than one project. If you build things in public, one page shows all of it: what is live, what is still being built, what was sold and what was shut down.

## Who makes it

makerhandle is a small independent product made by Dane Dolph, who also writes the blog. It runs on Cloudflare. Questions, corrections and press: hello@makerhandle.com.

## Questions

### What is makerhandle?

makerhandle is a link in bio for makers and founders: every project with its status and revenue verified from Stripe, Paddle and more.

### Is it free?

Yes, for up to 5 projects with verified revenue, three templates and a week of analytics. Pro is $20/year.

### Can makerhandle move money in my payment account?

No. We ask for read-only keys wherever the provider offers them, and only ever read sales and subscriptions with any key. Keys are encrypted at rest and never shown again.

### Does makerhandle use cookies to count visitors?

No. Visitors are counted with a daily, salted hash, so a page has real numbers without tracking anyone.
