History

Began with a simple question:

“Are we still choosing — or are we just being shown?”

In a world where algorithms dominate what we see, click, and buy, we felt something was missing. The thrill of discovery. The joy of browsing without being predicted. The satisfaction of finding something not because it was trending, but because it resonated with you.

Founded by a small team of curators, designers, and digital skeptics, Maktone is a response to recommendation fatigue. We believe good ideas shouldn’t be buried by AI. We believe products should be picked with care — not popularity metrics. And we believe that things made with soul, craft, and purpose deserve to be seen.

Every item on Maktone is personally screened. No data-driven shortcuts. No algorithmic feeds. Just a carefully built collection of things we love — and think you might too.

From clever tools to thoughtful tech, from small appliances to cultural finds from the East, our catalog is built slowly, intentionally, and honestly.

Maktone isn’t trying to sell you more. We’re just trying to show you better.
