Everything stays in one package.
3D models, product images, videos, copy, notes, instructions, source links, and reference files stay attached to the same project.
A local workspace for real project files
Your work is more than
one 3D file.
MakerHoard is not just a 3D viewer. It is a project-file operating system for makers, sellers, and asset-heavy work.

The difference
One workspace for the whole project, not one app for every file.
Preview before opening another app.
The right panel becomes the right module for the selected material: 3D, image, video, audio, PDF, spreadsheet, text, or commerce pack.
Drag files into real work.
Original files are meant to leave the library when you need them: into a slicer, folder, listing workflow, or conversation.
Built for expansion.
The system is designed around modules, Agent actions, and plugins so new file types and workflows can be added without rebuilding the whole app.
The workspace
Browse your actual collection.
Projects, imports, tags, source libraries, and model assets all live in one place. This is the desktop build, not a concept drawing.
The idea
One package.
Everything that
belongs with it.
A 3D project can include STL and 3MF files, reference images, print photos, instructions, and video. A commerce project can hold title, images, price, description, attributes, videos, and source links. MakerHoard is built around that complete package.
What MakerHoard does
Built from the actual desktop app, not a marketing mockup.
These capabilities are based on the current Haul/MakerHoard codebase. Some are already usable in the local desktop build, while the Agent and commerce workflows are still being tightened for beta.
Local asset library
Browse projects, tags, smart views, colors, history, trash, and local source files from one desktop workspace.
Project packages
Keep model files, images, notes, source links, and related files together instead of scattering them into separate cards.
3D preview module
Preview 3D assets with model canvas, dimensions, file thumbnails, image references, and drag-to-slicer behavior.
Broad file previews
Handle images, videos, audio, PDFs, text, spreadsheets, SVG, PSD, EXR, G-code thumbnails, and common CAD/mesh formats.
Drag and copy originals
Use files outside the app: drag or copy originals into folders, slicers, listing tools, or conversations where supported.
Marketplace collecting
Collect from MakerWorld and other model sources, with code paths for Printables, Thingiverse, MyMiniFactory, and Sketchfab.
Commerce material packs
Build product packages with titles, images, price, description, attributes, videos, source links, and reusable listing files.
Batch organization
Select many assets and apply shared metadata, tags, project moves, ratings, cleanup, duplicate checks, and maintenance tasks.
Agent and plugins
Natural-language search, semantic indexing, tool permissions, workflows, memory, and plugin storage are present but still being hardened.
Project packages
Mixed materials stay together.
Importing should not spread a project into loose cards. A project package is the unit you browse, select, open, move, and share.
- Single click
- See a focused preview and every related file.
- Double click
- Open the complete project folder.
Preview modules
Preview the material you selected.
The right panel is not a generic information dump. It becomes the right tool for the selected image, model, video, product pack, document, or sheet.
- 3D
- Model canvas, dimensions, and 3D file thumbnails.
- Media
- Large media preview and draggable original files.
Organize
Handle repeated work together.
When a collection needs the same tag, rating, or edit, batch actions reduce repetition. This is an existing development screen, and the interaction is still being refined for the beta.
- Today
- Choose assets and apply shared metadata.
- In progress
- Simpler batch flows, safer undo, and clearer activity feedback.
Designed for actual work
Local first
Your library and source files stay on your machine. Cloud features should be optional, visible, and under your control.
Files stay usable
Copy or drag originals into a folder, listing tool, or conversation. No locked-in assets and no mystery duplicates.
One system, many modules
3D, ecommerce, images, video, PDFs, and spreadsheets each get focused preview and action modules.
Feedback and bug reports
Help shape the beta with real use, not guesses.
Early feedback is most useful when it includes the task you were trying to finish, what happened, and what you expected instead. Screenshots, app version, Windows version, and a small sample file help us fix bugs faster.
Bug report
Something broke or feels wrong.
Best for crashes, preview failures, import problems, slow 3D thumbnails, drag/copy issues, and broken file handling.
Feature requestA workflow should be easier.
Tell us which repeated task should take fewer steps: organizing, previewing, listing, exporting, or preparing files.
Beta feedbackTell us what actually matters.
Useful for general product feedback, onboarding friction, missing modules, unclear wording, and beta rollout expectations.
Windows beta
Test the early build and tell us what breaks.
MakerHoard Beta is an early Windows test build. It is free to try, still changing, and not ready for paid production use. Direct downloads will open after update hosting is enabled.
