Plank turns a list of parts into a printable cut diagram for the boards and sheets you already buy at the lumberyard. Type in your parts and the stock you have on hand, then let Plank pack them onto your boards. The math matches the shop, the diagram prints, and nothing leaves your device. - Grain direction is a per-part toggle the solver actually respects - Saw blade kerf is subtracted from every cut, so the layout matches your blade - Fractional inches are the primary input, with millimeters and centimeters - Per-part stock thickness, so a thin part never lands on a thick board - The solver runs on device, with no network and no account - Every solve shows a receipt - boards used, total waste, and any parts that did not fit - Export a printable diagram with labels, dimensions, and a summary block - Round-trip projects through the Files app, and export parts as generic CSV Try your first project and check the math before you decide.
