§01  —  What it does

Sell with no signal.

MarketDay is one loop, end to end. Build your pack list the night before. Ring up each sale with a single tap — cash, card, Venmo, or other — even with zero signal. Then close the show to a screenshot-worthy profit summary.

A cash box gives you one number at the end of the night. MarketDay gives you the rest at the table:

  • — Did I bring enough — and what am I about to sell out of?
  • — How much have I taken so far today?
  • — How does that split across cash, card, and Venmo?
  • — Did this show actually make me money?

There is no account and no server. Every sale, pack list, and total lives on your device, with a one-tap JSON backup whenever you want one.

One of four Bennett Studio apps

MarketDay is the in-person selling piece of Bennett Studio — alongside MarginPrint, BenchStock, and MakerBooks. Every app shares the same local-first storage, backup, and offline foundations, so use MarketDay on its own or with the rest.

§02  —  What's inside

Built for the table.

/ 01
Build the pack list first
Plan the show the night before — what you're bringing and how much. At the booth it doubles as your live stock count, so you can see what's moving and what's about to sell out.

/ 02
One tap per sale
Ring up each sale with a single tap and pick how they paid — cash, card, Venmo, or other. Fast enough to keep a line moving, simple enough to hand to a helper.

Works with zero signal
Church halls and open fields have terrible reception. MarketDay is an installable PWA that runs entirely on your phone — never a spinner between you and a sale.

Close to a profit summary
End the show and get a clear, screenshot-worthy breakdown: units sold, takings by payment type, and exactly what the day earned you. Share it or save it in a tap.

Yours, on your device
No accounts, no backend, nothing sent anywhere. Every sale and total lives in your browser storage, with a one-tap JSON backup you can export from Settings whenever you like.

A Bennett Studio app
MarketDay shares its storage, backup, and offline foundations with the other Bennett Studio apps — MarginPrint, BenchStock, and MakerBooks. Use it on its own, or alongside the rest of the studio.
Shared studio foundations

The free tier is fully built and tested today — and the paid upgrades (unlimited shows, season analytics, CSV, multi-day events) are live now. Not for sale yet — it ships when it is good enough to charge for.

In development

MarketDay isn’t for sale yet.

It is built and I use it, but it is not finished enough to charge for. Rather than sell you a rough version and patch it around you, it stays off the shelf until it earns its price.

No date promised — it ships when it is good enough. In the meantime, get in touch if you want to hear when it does.

§04  —  Questions

The honest answers.

Where does my data live? Is it safe?

On your device — full stop. MarketDay is a client-side app: every sale, pack list, and total is stored in your own browser and never sent to a server. There's no account and no backend, so there's no central database of your business to leak. Export a full JSON backup from Settings anytime.

Do I need to be online?

No. MarketDay is offline-first — built for church halls and open fields with no signal. Everything runs on your phone, so there’s never a spinner between you and a sale. It syncs nothing and waits on nothing.

Can it take payments?

MarketDay records how each sale was paid — cash, card, Venmo, or other — so your end-of-day totals reconcile by payment type. It doesn’t process the payment itself: you still take cash or run your card reader as usual, and log it in one tap.

Is it an app I install?

It’s a web app you can install. Open it on your phone and “Add to Home Screen” — it runs full-screen like a native app, works offline, and updates itself. No app store, no download, works on iPhone and Android.

What does it cost?

Nothing yet — MarketDay is still in development and is not for sale. When it is ready it will follow the same shape as the rest of the studio: a free tier that stays free, and a paid tier for people who outgrow it.

Do I need MarginPrint too?

No — MarketDay works on its own. If you also use MarginPrint, the two are built to pair: they share the same local-first storage, backup, and offline foundations, so the app that costs and queues what you make sits naturally next to the one that sells it at the booth.

Your booth, one phone.

MarketDay is still being built. It is not for sale yet, and there is no date — it ships when it is good enough to charge for.

Release notes only, and not often.
