Step 1: Tell It What You're Building

Type in your piece sizes using fractions: “10 3/4” works just fine. Or, pick a common project from the list: bookshelf, cabinet box, storage bench, and more.
Think of it as turning your napkin sketch into a real plan.

Step 2: Pick Your Saw

Choose what’s actually in your garage: circular saw, table saw, or CNC.


Every saw cuts differently. 


This step makes sure your plan is safe and realistic for your setup. It’ll flag any cuts that could get awkward or dangerous before you’re standing at the blade.

Step 3: Check If Your Wood Fits in Your Car

Select your vehicle type. 


The optimizer finds the one cut you can ask the lumber yard to make at the store, so a full 4×8 sheet fits in your SUV without throwing off your entire layout.


Skip this step if you have a truck or a delivery coming.

Step 4: Get Your Visual Cutting Plan

A numbered blueprint appears on screen in the exact order you should make them: :  — Cut 1, Cut 2, Cut 3 etc. 


No more staring at the sheet and wondering which end to touch first. You’ll know exactly where to start every single time.

Step 5: Take Your Phone Into the Shop

Switch to Shop Mode. Tap each piece as you cut and it turns green on screen.


Your whole plan lives on your phone. No printed paper, no sticky notes, no “wait — which piece was that?”
