Woodworkers, carpenters, and weekend builders
Worth noticing
A sample plywood layout numbers each cut and estimates savings against cutting as you go.

Field notes

The plywood example lists a 96-by-48-inch sheet, parts, and a numbered cutting sequence; its stated savings are illustrative and depend on the user's own material prices. The site also describes photographing handwritten lists for on-device text recognition, with a review step before parts are filled in. Pro features include PDF layouts and project syncing through the user's iCloud.
