## What is Woodworking Calculator Dead On?

Dead On is the woodworking calculator that thinks like a woodworker.

FRACTION CALCULATOR
Mixed fractions are first-class. Type 5-3/4 + 2-1/8 and get an instant answer in fractions — chain math with parentheses, down to 1/32. No decimal conversion, ever.

VOICE INPUT
Hands full of sawdust? Tap the mic and say "five and three quarters plus two and an eighth." Dead On writes 5-3/4 + 2-1/8.

SHOP MODE
Step-by-step cut guidance in giant shop-floor type. It reads each step and listens for "next" — eyes on the blade, not the phone.

18 TOOLS BUILT FOR THE SHOP
• Board feet with cost — know the bill before the register
• Lumber yield with waste factor
• Cut list optimizer and glue-up panels
• Miter and compound angles with live diagrams
• Dovetails, box joints, dados, mortise & tenon
• Shelf sag, drawer slides, pilot holes, taper, epoxy pour, wood weight, wood EMC

JOINERY WITH LAYOUT MARKS
The only woodworking app with built-in joinery math — and the diagrams are drawn from your numbers, with layout marks you can transfer straight to the board.

WOOD MOVEMENT
Select from 30 wood species and calculate seasonal dimensional change from USDA data. Know exactly how much your tabletop will move, and how much gap to leave.

PROJECT ORGANIZATION
Save calculations to projects. Your blanket chest keeps its board feet, dovetail spacing, and wood movement in one place — with seasonal movement reminders and iCloud sync.

BUILT FOR WOODWORKERS
• Fraction-native input and display
• Imperial and metric support
• 30-species North American wood database
• Apple Watch companion with a Digital Crown running total
• No subscription — pay once, own it forever
• No ads, no account required, and nothing sold to data brokers

Measure twice. Calculate once.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-11

The biggest update since launch: 18 tools, an Apple Watch app, and voice input.

NEW CALCULATORS
• Cut List Optimizer — lay your cuts out across boards or sheet goods and see the waste before you make it
• Lumber Yield — what you actually get out of rough stock
• Wood EMC — equilibrium moisture content from temperature and humidity
• Pilot Holes — bit sizes by screw gauge and species
• Epoxy Pour — volume and mix for river tables and voids

NEW
• Apple Watch app with a Digital Crown adder for running totals at the bench
• Voice input — say a measurement instead of typing it
• Shop Mode — big targets and haptics for when your hands are full
• Projects now open your saved calculations back up where you left them
• Help on every calculator, with worked examples

FIXED
• Dovetail diagrams label the flank slope correctly — it no longer reports the tail-to-pin ratio as though it were the slope
• Cut List respects the number of boards you actually have on hand, and tells you when a plan needs more
• Prices enter correctly in regions that write 12,50 instead of 12.50
• Result numbers and verdict banners are readable in Light Mode
• Shop Mode asks for microphone permission instead of silently hearing nothing
• The first Quick Save goes to a real project, not the read-only sample
• Settings → Rate Dead On opens the right App Store page

Pro is still a one-time purchase. If you already bought Pro, you keep it — there is nothing to do.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-06-27

Small updates and improvements.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-04-22

No release notes.
