Field notes
The catalog separates household tasks into five visible groups, from surfaces and textiles to garden beds and picture frames. Several tools expose practical assumptions rather than hiding them: users can set a tile-waste margin or provide gravel density, while the wallpaper estimator accounts for cutting height and an optional pattern repeat. The page also says calculations stay on the device and offers save and share controls.
