Pocket Draw helps stretch ceiling measurers, installers and teams manage each project from the first enquiry to installation. Save client details, draw a room outline, calculate materials, prepare an estimate and schedule the work. With Pocket Draw you can: • manage projects, clients, lead sources and work stages; • draw rectangular and complex ceiling outlines; • save side lengths, area and perimeter; • calculate ceiling film, materials and labour; • build room and project estimates; • share estimate PDFs and contracts signed by both parties; • schedule measurements and installations; • track purchase costs, installer wages and profit; • switch between Russian and English; • choose Russia, Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan with RUB, KZT or UZS. Language and country are separate settings. The selected currency appears in estimates, finances and PDFs. Existing amounts stay unchanged; no exchange rate conversion is performed. Your own project names, notes and catalog items stay as you entered them. You can start without signing in. Optional Pocket ID provides cloud backup and sync across your devices. The same Pocket ID works in Pocket Draw and Pocket Smeta, while their project data stays separate. All features in this version are free. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions.
