Release notes and notes from the workshop. There is also an RSS feed.
MakeKeeper 0.19: the label goes straight onto the drawer
A label for a drawer, a bin or a project now prints on the Niimbot B1 standing next to you — from the browser, from a one-time link, or through Home Assistant — without passing through a system print dialog that a Bluetooth label printer never appears in.
MakeKeeper 0.18.2: the images run natively on ARM
Every tag is now published for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64, so a Raspberry Pi or an ARM VPS pulls a native image instead of emulating an x86 one. Nothing else in the release changed.
MakeKeeper 0.18: the first five minutes
A fresh install now opens on a workshop with something in it, Settings → About is the way back to us, and an instance can say it is alive — only if you switch it on.
MakeKeeper 0.17: the workshop learns to remind you
Notifications with an inbox and a bell, recurring reminders on a real scheduler, and a calendar any plugin can put its dates on.
MakeKeeper 0.16: the source is public
The release that put MakeKeeper's code out in the open under a source-available licence — and gave projects a timeline to sit on.
Release notes, part 4: colours, locks and folders
Versions 0.11 to 0.15 — a one-click install on Coolify, six colour schemes, a security pass over multi-user mode, an MCP server, and folders for projects.
Release notes, part 3: the phone joins the workshop
Versions 0.8 to 0.10 turned a phone into MakeKeeper's intake terminal — pair it by QR, scan a part on the shelf, shoot a whole batch, and let the recognition fill in the rest.
Release notes, part 2: 0.7 and the plugins from outside
The largest release of the summer opened MakeKeeper to plugins written by other people — separate containers that add screens, assistant tools and integrations without touching the core.
Release notes, part 1: 0.1 to 0.6
The first six weeks of published releases — getting MakeKeeper installed, keeping it updated, and teaching it to handle the photographs and files a project drags along.
