The map.
Each sheet is drawn to scale. Pieces carry their name and cut size, waste is hatched, and offcuts big enough to keep are outlined with their size. Pinch to zoom, or tap a piece to see what it is.
CutMap
Plywood cut list and sheet layout
Every part on the sheet, and the order to cut it.
Type in your parts and the sheets you have. CutMap lays them out with the blade’s kerf allowed for, numbers every cut in a suggested order, and steps you through them one at a time.

What it does
The cuts, in order.
Every cut is numbered in a suggested order, and each one runs edge to edge of the piece you are holding, so the whole plan can be made on a table saw or with a track saw. Step through them at the saw: “Crosscut at 34 1/2", cut 6 of 9, across 23 1/4"”.
How your saw cuts.
Set the blade kerf, a trim for factory edges that are not clean, and the smallest offcut worth keeping. Choose what the layout favours: fewest sheets, rips first or crosscuts first. Parts marked to follow the grain are never turned; the rest can turn to fit.
Edge banding.
Tap the edges of a part that get banded and set the tape thickness. CutMap can take the tape thickness off the cut size, so the cut size allows for the banding.
Boards and bars too.
A lengths project lays parts along boards, studs, pipe or profiles, with the kerf between every cut and the offcut at the end.
What to buy.
A summary per project: sheets or lengths used for each material, yield, number of cuts, total cut length, material cost from the prices you enter, and the offcuts left over. One project can mix materials, such as 3/4" plywood for the cases and 1/4" hardboard for the backs.

Why it works this way
It works in the workshop.
No connection needed and no account. Sizes go in as 48 1/2, 4' 6" or 1231 mm, with a row of fraction keys under the size box, and fractions round to 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32.
It tells you what it is.
The layout tries many arrangements and keeps the one that uses the least stock among those it tries. That is a good layout, not a promise of the fewest sheets possible, so check the map before you buy or cut.
Existing projects stay open to you.
Every project can still be opened on every plan, and a project built past the standard limit still opens and still maps. Backup makes one file you can restore on another phone. Restoring removes nothing already there; a project on both takes the backup’s copy.

Questions
Does CutMap find the fewest sheets possible?
No tool can promise that for every job. CutMap tries many arrangements and keeps the one that uses the least stock among those it tries, then draws it so you can check it before you buy.
Is the plan made for a table saw?
It is planned for one. Every cut runs edge to edge of the piece you are holding, the kind of cut a table saw or track saw makes. The order is a suggestion, not a safety procedure.
Can I work in inches and fractions?
Yes. Use millimetres, centimetres, decimal inches or fractions rounded to 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32, and type sizes like 48 1/2 or 4' 6".
Can I import a cut list?
Yes. Import a CSV with name, length, width and quantity columns, plus grain and banding if you have them. Import works on every plan, up to the standard piece limit.
What is on a part label?
The part name, its size, which sheet it comes from, its copy number such as 2 of 6, the banded edges and the project name.
Does it need an account or a connection?
No. CutMap works offline and asks for no account. Your projects stay on your phone, and a backup file moves them to another one.
