Bernie prepares and runs your laser engraving and cutting jobs, from the first line to the last pass. Free, with no account, no subscription and no ads.
On iPad, the whole workshop: drawing, settings, preview and laser control. On iPhone, Bernie keeps you company next to the machine.
DRAW FOR THE LASER
• A complete vector editor: shapes, nodes, booleans, offsets, arrays, nesting
• Text in your own fonts, text on a path, variable text (serial numbers, dates, CSV files)
• QR codes and barcodes
• Art libraries: your own drawings, plus free libraries to download
ENGRAVE PHOTOS
• Proven dithering (Stucki, Floyd-Steinberg, Atkinson, halftone…) or grayscale
• Brightness, contrast, gamma and sharpening, with a preview of the engraving
• Trace an image into outlines
SET UP EVERY MATERIAL
• 30 color layers: line, fill, image; speed, power, passes, lead-ins and tabs
• More than 1,800 ready-to-use material settings, grid material tests and calibration patterns
CHECK BEFORE YOU SEND
• Path preview and estimated time, accelerations included
• Pre-flight check: job outside the work area, power, machine settings
• Cut order optimization
RUN YOUR LASER
• Over the network (Wi-Fi, Ethernet): Bernie finds the machine and reads its settings
• USB lasers: through Bernie on a Mac (Hub mode) or Bernie Link on a computer or a Raspberry Pi
• GRBL, grblHAL, FluidNC, Marlin, Smoothieware; Ruida over the network; galvo through EZCad export
• Framing, jogging, macros, pause, and STOP always within reach
• Built-in virtual laser: try everything without a machine
ON IPHONE
• Open a project prepared on your Mac or iPad: framed preview, run time, device
• Start and follow the job from the laser panel, with STOP always within reach
AND ALSO
• Camera: the work area under your design, Print & Cut
• Rotary for tumblers and round objects, center finding
• Opens SVG, DXF, PDF, AI, EPS, images and your existing projects; exports G-code
• Your projects in Files and iCloud Drive
• Built-in user guide in English and French
SAFETY
Confirmation before every job, manual firing off by default, and nothing starts remotely without your approval.
Bernie is free. If you like it, an optional tip helps it grow; it unlocks nothing: everyone gets everything.
