Overview

Version:

4.1.1

Last updated: 2026-08-06

Features & Capabilities

Version 4 is here: faster layouts, per-part grain locks and edge banding, plus cut-by-cut measurements you can follow at the saw.

SmartCut is a cutlist optimizer for iPhone and iPad. Enter your parts and the sheets or lengths you can buy, and it works out how to cut them with the least waste.

You get the cutting diagrams, the number of sheets you need, where every offcut falls, and a cut-by-cut sequence you can follow at the saw.

MATERIALS

Sheet materials such as plywood, MDF, chipboard, acrylic, glass and sheet metal, and linear stock such as construction timber, bar, pipe and extrusion. Work in decimals or fractions, in whichever units you use.

CUT TYPES

• Guillotine — for saws that cut edge to edge in a straight line, such as a table saw or beam saw. Choose length cuts for ripping, or width cuts for cross-cutting on a mitre saw or a cross-cut sled. • Efficiency — the default. Prioritises the fewest cuts and the least waste, ideal for a jigsaw, laser cutter or CNC.

REAL-WORLD DETAIL

The plan matches how the material will actually be cut:

• Blade width, so the kerf is not quietly ignored • Grain direction, with a per-part lock to length or width • Edge banding on any side of a part • Stock trim, to skip damaged or unsquare edges • Infinite stock, when you can buy as many sheets as you need

FEATURES

• Fast and accurate layouts • Sheet / 2D / boards / panels • Linear / 1D / bars / rods • Decimals and fractions, with quick fraction entry • Colour-coded materials, so a mixed job stays readable • Stack identical layouts • Save and reopen projects • Export to PDF to print for the workshop

AT THE SAW

Step through the cuts one at a time, with measurements shown from both sides so you can check yourself against either edge. Or print the PDF and take it to the bench.

ALSO AVAILABLE

Cutlist Evolution runs the same optimizer in any web browser, on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook, with nothing to install. cutlistevo.com

User Reviews

Users broadly praise Cutlist Optimizer V2 for saving time and money, ease of use, and strong optimization that maximizes material yield. PDF export is a frequent plus for sharing plans, and support is generally responsive. Recurrent concerns focus on unclear units/metric support, occasional reliability glitches when editing or saving data, and some branding/identity confusion between CutList Optimizer V2 and Smart Cut. Feature requests include clearer unit usage and improved reliability.

Pros

Saves time and money by optimizing cuts and material usage.
Easy to use with a short learning curve and intuitive data entry.
Strong optimization that maximizes material usage and reduces waste.
PDF export/printing of plans for sharing and reference.
Responsive support and generally reliable data entry and usage.

Cons

Unclear units and lack of explicit metric support; users report not knowing which units are used.
Occasional reliability glitches (e.g., editing/deleting parts can cause data changes; occasional PDF issues).
Branding/identity confusion: described as CutList Optimizer V2 but noted by reviewers as Smart Cut, leading to mismatched expectations.

Recent reviews

I’ve used the app for several years I even pay for the subscription. If your total sheet Goods is over 9 sheets you cannot see or scroll over to see the 10th sheet. Also, if you have all your parts put in and then you need to delete one or two it glitches and changes the part name and the measurements on the previous parts
