Built for makers who use
Every maker has this problem
We talked to hundreds of makers in laser cutting, CNC, and 3D printing communities. The same story came up every time: thousands of design files, no way to find them, and hours wasted scrolling through folders.
Files everywhere
“Everything lives in my downloads folder and when I need something I hope and pray the designer named it something helpful.”
Downloads folder, desktop, Dropbox, Google Drive, thumb drives, external hard drives — your design files are scattered across every device and service you own.
No way to search
“I spend a ton of time just scrolling. I have thousands of files and I can never find what I'm looking for.”
Folder names only get you so far. When you have thousands of SVGs, DXFs, and LightBurn files, you need real search — across filenames, tags, notes, and even file contents.
Duplicates piling up
“I feel like I have a ton of duplicate files but I'm not sure if they are duplicates.”
You download the same bundle twice, extract it to different folders, and now you have duplicates you can't tell apart. Without content hashing, there's no way to know.
Organization never sticks
“I sat down a couple nights and spent a few hours organizing, but when I got busy, they all went into folders titled 'to be made' or 'new'.”
Folder systems break down the moment you get busy. You need something that organizes automatically and lets you find files without remembering where you put them.
Stop scrolling. Start finding.
Whether you have 200 files or 50,000, MakerVault keeps them organized and searchable so you can spend your time making, not hunting for files.
Instant Search. Find any file in under a second.
Type a few characters and MakerVault finds it. Search across filenames, tags, notes, and source URLs. Use deep search to look inside LightBurn files for text elements, layer names, and cut settings.
Search filenames, tags, notes, and source URLs. Results appear as you type.
Type "/" before your query to search inside file contents — LightBurn text, layer names, cut settings.
Combine search with filters for file type, tags, sources, favorites, and notes. All filters work together.
Hierarchical Tags. Better than folders. Way better than folders.
Folders force you to put a file in one place. Tags let it live in many. Create up to 3 levels of nested tags (Holiday > Christmas > Ornaments), tag files in bulk, and filter your entire library with one click.
Create up to 3 levels of hierarchy. Click a parent tag to filter by all its descendants.
Select multiple files with Cmd+click or Shift+click and tag them all at once.
Track where files came from — Design Bundles, Creative Fabrica, Etsy, or your own designs. Paste a URL and the source is auto-detected.
Spacebar Quick Preview. See what a file is without opening another app.
Press Spacebar on any file to see a full preview. SVGs, images, PDFs, fonts, LightBurn thumbnails, and G-code files all render natively. Arrow keys to browse, Escape to close.
SVG, DXF, AI, EPS, CDR, STL, 3MF, OBJ, G-code, LightBurn, xTool, RDWorks, VCarve, PDF, PNG, TTF, OTF, and more.
View cut/layer settings, text elements, font names, and embedded thumbnails without opening LightBurn.
Files are hashed with BLAKE3 so duplicates are identified instantly across all your folders.
Local-First. Your files never leave your computer.
MakerVault runs entirely on your machine. No cloud sync, no account required, no data leaving your computer. Your library is stored in a fast SQLite database. Add any folder and MakerVault watches it for changes automatically.
New, modified, or deleted files are detected automatically. No manual re-scan needed.
Scans 5,000 files in under a second. Search returns results in under 30ms for 50,000 files.
Activate your license once online, then the app works fully offline. No internet required.
