Built for the workshop, not the whiteboard
Every layout CutWise produces is one you can actually cut — edge-to-edge guillotine cuts, exactly what a table saw or panel saw does.
Kerf-aware
Reserves the material your saw blade eats on every cut, so plans work in the real world, not just on paper.
Grain direction
Lock rotation for doors, panels and visible faces where grain matters.
Fractional inches
Type 1 3/8 or 3/4 the way you actually measure. Metric fully supported too.
Boards & pipes
1D bar mode optimizes lumber, pipes and extrusions — free and unlimited.

Questions
Does it work without internet?
Yes — the optimizer runs entirely on your device and nothing is ever uploaded. The free version shows a small banner ad when you happen to be online; Pro removes ads completely.
What cutting method does it assume?
Guillotine (through) cuts — every cut runs edge to edge, matching table saws, panel saws and circular saws with a guide. That's why the layouts are actually cuttable.
Can I use feet and inches?
Yes. Switch to inches and type fractions like 1 3/8 or 3/4 directly. Metric (mm) is the default.
iPhone / desktop version?
CutWise is built on a shared multiplatform core — desktop and iOS versions are on the roadmap. Android ships first.
