Field notes
The described workflow extends beyond track placement: users can define named board modules, room obstacles, layers, and reusable assemblies. The site also says the app can record owned track, pack sizes, and prices to prepare a shopping list that accounts for flexible-track cuts and offcuts. These are feature descriptions on a page that labels the Mac App Store release as coming soon.
