Useful answers after the market

What happened at your booth today?

The tracker turns quick taps into a timestamped record you can review while the day is still fresh.

Which products did you sample most?

Compare logged sample counts by product. These counts describe sampling activity, not popularity, purchases, or sales.

When did sampling pick up?

Review samples by hour and the busiest sample logging hour. Add Busy or Slow observations when booth traffic changes.

When did a product sell out?

Record the time and product with the Sold Out button. The tracker then removes that product from new sample taps until it is enabled again or the activity is deleted.

What should you remember for next time?

Record positive or negative feedback, weather conditions, and your own custom observation categories. The tracker records categories and timing, not detailed written customer comments.

How it works

Set it up once, then keep tapping.

01

Set up your market

Add your markets, products, and the observation buttons that matter to you.

02

Record market moments

Tap a product for each sample or tap an observation when feedback, weather, traffic, or a sellout is worth noting.

03

Review and export

Review charts and timestamped activity, export selected records as CSV, or download a full JSON backup.

The bigger business picture

Capture the booth in the tracker. Analyze the business in CottageOps.

The free tracker records samples and observations in this browser. It does not sync with a CottageOps account. When you are ready to look beyond field notes, CottageOps helps you analyze sales, expenses, products, customers, markets, weather, and overall business health.

No. Browser records do not sync automatically. Use a full backup if you need to move them to another browser or device.

The activity screen exports the records matching its filters as a CSV file. Settings can download and restore a full JSON backup containing configuration and activity.

Yes. Clearing site data, changing devices, or losing access to the browser can remove local records. Download full backups regularly.

No. It tracks samples and manually recorded market observations. A Sold Out observation disables additional sample taps for that product, but it does not track inventory quantities or sales.
