Stop wasting wood. CutPlan tells you exactly how many boards and sheets to buy, and where to make every cut — before you drive to the hardware store. Give it the pieces you need. It gives you the cutting plan that wastes the least material, drawn out cut by cut. TWO KINDS OF CUTTING, ONE APP - Linear (1D): studs, dowels, pipe, moulding — anything you cut to length. Get the fewest stock lengths and where to cut each one. - Panel (2D): plywood, MDF, melamine, glued panels — anything you cut from a sheet. Get a true nesting layout that packs your parts into the fewest sheets. BUILT FOR THE HARDWARE STORE - Pick your stock from presets — 2×4, 1×4 and other SPF lumber, standard plywood sheets, common stock lengths — with one tap - Set the saw kerf (blade thickness) so the plan matches reality. A cut list that ignores kerf leaves you short — CutPlan never does. - Lock grain direction on panels so the wood pattern runs the right way - See your total material cost before you buy: number of stock pieces × price, plus per-cut store charges A CUTTING DIAGRAM YOU CAN FOLLOW - Every board and sheet drawn to scale, with each part placed and labeled - A clear cut list: this length, this many times, from this stock - Offcut (waste) amount and yield for every plan - Export the diagram and cut list as PDF or image to take with you (Pro) OFFCUTS BECOME AN ASSET (Pro) - Save leftover offcuts to a running ledger and pick them for your next project — stop throwing away good material - Cutting order numbers on every diagram so you cut in the order that actually works at the saw HONEST AND OFFLINE - Works completely offline. No account, no ads, no subscription. - One-time Pro unlock for unlimited saved projects, offcut ledger, PDF export and custom stock sizes - Your projects never leave your device - iPhone and iPad Always verify dimensions on the actual material and follow your saw's manual. CutPlan is a cutting-plan aid, not a substitute for safe shop practice. Whether you are building a bookshelf from plywood, framing a wall with 2×4s, or cutting trim for a whole room, CutPlan turns a pile of measurements into a buy list and a cutting plan that does not waste your wood.
