TE Buddy

TE Buddy

A free supply tracker built by a crafter, for crafters.

 

Hi there! I'm a crafter just like you, and after years of buying supplies, losing track of what I had, and re-ordering things I already owned, I decided to build something to help. That's TE Buddy.

 

It's a free Windows app that lets you catalog your stamps, dies, cardstock, inks, and everything else in your craft room. No subscriptions. No accounts. No internet needed. Just download, install, and start organizing.

 

 

What TE Buddy Does For You

Here are the three things crafters tell me they love most:

 

• Track your supplies and stock levels

• Keep a project gallery

• It's completely free

 

 

Everything That's Included

• Inventory catalog with photos, notes, location, and purchase history

• Stock tracker so you always know what's running low

• Project gallery with photos and linked supplies

• Inspiration board to save ideas and reference photos

• Envelope and box calculator for paper cutting

• Address book for keeping track of people you send cards to

• Calendar for crafting events and reminders

• Dark mode and adjustable card sizes

• Everything saves right to your computer, no cloud required

 

 

What You Need to Run It

• A Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer (laptop or desktop)

• The free .NET 8 Desktop Runtime from Microsoft (the installer will walk you through it if needed)

• That's it!

 

 

How to Install

Don't worry, it's just like installing any other program on your computer!

 

• Click the Download button above

• Open the downloaded file (TEBuddy_Setup.exe)

• Click through the installer, just like any other program

• Launch TE Buddy from your desktop shortcut and start adding your supplies!

 

If Windows shows a "SmartScreen" warning when you open the installer, click "More info" and then "Run anyway." This happens with new apps that haven't been downloaded by thousands of people yet. It's perfectly safe!

 

 

Your Data Stays With You

Everything you enter in TE Buddy is saved as a single file on your own computer. Nothing is sent anywhere. If you ever want to back up your data or move it to a new computer, just copy one file:

 

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\TEBuddy\inventory.db

 

That one file is your entire catalog.

 

 

Support This Project

TE Buddy is and always will be free. But if it saves you money by keeping your craft room organized, a small Ko-fi contribution means the world and helps keep development going!

 

You can support the project at ko-fi.com/jandhgreetings or by using the button inside the app.
