Add lumber
Real stock, real dimensions.
Boards or sheet goods, either way. Set width, length, and thickness. Choose rough or planed and Woodcraft applies standard planing for you, then dial in the edge round-over.
A bench that moves with you.
§01 — Highlights
Repeat
Lay a run in one move.
Pick a direction, then let Woodcraft space the boards: fill a total length, set the count, or fix the gap edge-to-edge or center-to-center. It does the math.
Miter saw
Cut to the length you keep.
Set the exact length to keep on either side of the blade, cut a whole stack at once, dial in miter and bevel angles, and account for the kerf.
Automatic joinery
Joints that cut themselves.
Pick two pieces and the joint you want — mortise & tenon, half-lap, rabbet, dado, shiplap, socket — and Woodcraft cuts both sides to fit, every parameter still yours to adjust. Explode the assembly to see exactly how it goes together.
Drill press
Every hole, exactly placed.
Pick points along an edge or face, then set diameter, depth or through, tip profile, and an optional countersink, just the way you'd set up the machine.
Bill of materials & cut list
From model to lumber list.
Every board tallies as you design, and the cut list breaks it down by stock to the kerf, so the trip to the yard is one and done.
A whole shop, not a demo.
§02 — Features
Cutting & shaping 05
- Miter SawCut across length with a blade you position, miter, and bevel, with kerf width and exact side lengths included.
- Layout SawCut along a line from two picked points, set the kerf, tilt the cut, and choose which side of the line the blade rides, with an optional offset.
- Drill PressDrill holes by picking points along edges or faces, then set diameter, depth, and an optional countersink.
- Automatic JoineryPick the joint and Woodcraft cuts it: mortise & tenon, socket, half-lap, rabbet, butt, through and stopped dado, shiplap. Every parameter adjustable.
- RepeatEvenly-spaced copies along an axis. Lock count, total length, or spacing, and the rest follows.
Stock & surfaces 06
- Add LumberAdd boards or sheet goods — rough or planed — by dimension or preset and drop it into the scene.
- Build SurfaceCreate a flat reference plane for placing and aligning lumber.
- Stair StringerGenerate a stringer from its parameters — number of risers, riser height, tread run, stringer height and thickness, top and bottom extensions, and plumb or level cuts at each end.
- Bill of MaterialsA live tally of every board in the project, updating as you design, ready for the lumber yard.
- Cut ListEvery cut to make, organized by stock and down to the kerf, so the trip to the yard is one and done.
- Recycle PileOffcuts you've discarded stay in a reusable pile, with a visualization to find a piece that fits before you buy more.
Position & align 04
- AlignSnap pieces flush against one another — butt, edge, or face — with automatic rotational alignment so parts seat square without dialing angles by hand.
- MoveMove objects along any axis. Alignment lines and snap points surface as you go, there to use when you want them.
- OrientSnap pieces to the scene’s x/y/z axes in 90° steps to quickly orient and place.
- RotateRotate around a pivot with the dial and optional angular snapping.
Marks & measurement 05
- Add MarksPlace marks on edges and faces with precise fractional readouts.
- Manage MarksSelect, reposition, and delete existing marks.
- MeasureCapture distances between features and stage them for commit.
- AnnotateLabel any operation with its own numbers. Cut, drill, and joinery data pull in automatically.
- Remove MeasureMark committed measurements for deletion and commit to remove.
Camera & navigation 05
- Apple PencilThe Pencil is your selection tool: tap to pick a part, drag to sweep an area, while your fingers keep the camera. Double-tap its flat side to switch between replace and toggle selection. Requires an iPad with a compatible Apple Pencil. Double-tap requires a Pencil that supports it.
- TouchOrbit, pan, and pinch-zoom directly on the iPad screen.
- Mouse & TrackpadFull orbit, pan, and zoom on both iPadOS and macOS.
- Spatial GesturesReach in and navigate the scene with your hands in spatial context.
- Orthographic & PerspectiveSee your work flat with orthographic views, or in true perspective.
Workspace 05
- Viewport LayoutsChoose from a range of preset layouts to see your work from several angles at once.
- Custom ViewportsSet each viewport's camera mode, display settings, and content.
- Assembly ExplodeEase every part away from the others so each joint reads clearly, with a strength you dial to part the pieces further or draw them back together.
- Grid & SnappingAdaptive grids with the precision you set, plus rotational grids for angular snaps and slope.
- Selection ModesReplace, add, or remove from the selection as you tap.
Tooling & control 05
- Contextual HelpAsk what's in front of you and Woodcraft lists everything on screen, with video tutorials built in and a library that keeps growing.
- Value EntryTap any value on screen to open a sheet with every value on that screen, all editable in one go. Add a delta with
+, or go fractional with@1/4and@25%. - Tool SelectorBrowse, search, and activate every tool, grouped by category.
- Contextual ToolbarPer-tool actions with commit and cancel right where you work.
- Tool ChainsStep through multi-stage tools and commit the whole chain at once.
Make it yours 04
- FavouritesPin frequently used tools to a quick-access strip.
- ThemesRecolor the workspace, viewports, and UI to taste.
- PreferencesSet units, tool defaults, and grid settings to match your workflow.
- Mixed UnitsWork in imperial lumber with metric measurements, or any combination that suits how you build.
Share & export 04
- visionOS Live PreviewView your model on a visionOS headset while you work in the macOS app, optionally at real size, with every edit synced live. Requires an Apple-silicon Mac on macOS 27 and Apple Vision Pro on visionOS 27.
- AR ExportExport any model as USDZ to view in AR, drop it in a real room, and share with people who don't have the app.
- Project SharingHand off a fully editable project so others can open it, study it, and build on your work.
- Project GalleryBrowse featured projects from other woodworkers: view, rate, share, and download them to make your own.
The road ahead.
§03 — Roadmap
Woodcraft is built for the long run. Release is just the beginning — here's some of what's coming next, arriving free for everyone who's already on board.
Planned
Curves & turning
Curved cuts and a lathe tool to spin round stock — legs, spindles, bowls, and all the parts that were never meant to be square.
Planned
New power tools
A router to profile edges and cut grooves, and a planer to bring stock down to thickness — more of the shop, modelled the way you'd actually use it.
You should own your tools.
§04 — Pricing
Most CAD is rented, not owned: a monthly fee for the privilege of opening your own drawings, forever. Stop paying and the work you made stops opening.
Woodcraft is a purchase, not a subscription. Buy it and it's yours, with no monthly fee, no expiry, and no holding your projects hostage.
The Mac and iPad versions are each a real native app, built for the way you work on that device, and each is bought on its own. Buy only the one you use, or both if the shop and the desk are different places.
-
01
Buy once, keep it.
One payment per app. It's yours to use for as long as you like, with no recurring bill on the calendar.
-
02
A price that grows with the app.
I'm building Woodcraft for the long run. As real features land, the price will rise gradually to reflect what the tool has become.
-
03
Early adopters keep their price.
Buy in early and every future feature arrives automatically and free. The price you paid is the only price you'll ever pay for that app, however far it goes.
