Calculators & Business Tools

Features & Capabilities

Join over 8,000 woodworkers using the ultimate ad-free shop assistant! Now featuring seamless, secure auto-backups via your personal iCloud or Google Drive. 100% free.

Woodworker's Companion is your all-in-one shop assistant: calculators built for woodworkers, a full business suite, and utilities that stay out of your way—100% free. No subscriptions. No ads. Your data never leaves your device unless you choose to move it.

PRIVACY FIRST Everything is stored strictly on your phone. Clients, projects, inventory, quotes, and journal entries stay locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded to the cloud unless you explicitly export a backup. There is zero in-app advertising—no banners, overlays, or videos. Any hard-coded affiliate links are only for products I genuinely recommend, and your data is never used to target you. I’m committed to keeping it that way.

7 CALCULATORS BUILT FOR THE SHOP All calculators support both metric and imperial measurements. • Board Foot: Calculate lumber volume, cost, and waste. Save board lists with custom statuses (shopping list, ordered, received). • Fraction Calculator: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide in fractions. Includes a kerf mode for cut counts with precision that matches your tape measure. • Project Pricing: Multiple pricing models so you can quote accurately and profitably. • Cut List Optimizer: Minimize your waste with 2D layouts and visual cutting diagrams. • Wood Movement: Calculate seasonal expansion and contraction for 20+ species. • Finish Mixing: Determine shellac and custom finish ratios with clear mixing instructions. • Epoxy Resin: Exact resin and hardener amounts for any size pour.

FULL BUSINESS SUITE • Project Management: Track tasks, time entries, and expenses. Use custom statuses (Quote, Design, Construct) and document change orders to track scope and price changes. • Inventory: Manage lumber, tools, consumables, and hardware. Create custom fields, log storage locations, and get low-stock alerts. • Quotes & Invoices: Create quotes, convert them to invoices, and track payments. Customize your business profile with your name, address, and logo. Print, export as PDF, or share via email and Messages. • Clients: Keep contacts, notes, and project history organized in one place.

WORKSHOP JOURNAL • Log notes, photos (with annotations), voice memos, and milestones. • Record measurements with specific labels and units. • Organize your thoughts by project or date using the active-build dashboard.

UTILITIES & CUSTOMIZATION • Decibel Meter: Measure shop noise, save readings, and use A‑weighting for consistent results. • Unit Conversions: Swap instantly between length, area, volume, weight, temp, and speed. • App Settings: Customize your theme (light/dark), currency (USD/EUR), project statuses, and inventory fields.

DATA & BACKUPS You own your files. Enable automatic cloud backups to securely sync your shop data across devices using your personal native iCloud or Google Drive account. Because there is no centralized backend server, your data stays strictly between your phone and your private cloud—I never have access to it. Prefer to do things manually? You can still manually export a full backup (JSON or a ZIP including your photos and voice memos) directly from Settings to store on-device or move to a new phone.

BUILT BY A WOODWORKER, NO LOCK-IN I’m a one-person team and a professional builder. I built this app to solve real problems in my own shop, and I am focused on making it the most useful, fast, and respectful tool for other woodworkers. There is an optional Support/Donate section if you want to buy me a beer, but you will never be forced to pay a fee or subscription. Honest feedback is always welcome!

Love the app. I only have one hangup. I'd like to suggest being able to go back and edit everything in the cutlist optimizer. As of now, (unless I'm mistaking) I can't go back and edit the stock sheet size, or say, the blade kerf, after I save my cutlist. So I'd have to recreate the entire cutlist again if I want to change those options. I'm still enjoying the app so far. Very useful!

Great app! Love all of the options available. Cut sheet optimizer is great for figuring out projects the easy way. Many different calculators for figuring out different projects. Able to be in imperial or metric unit conversions. An amazing way to send estimates and invoices. Can figure hourly rate and markup into it.

This app is a rare gem. Not only is the app useful, easy to use, and free but, it’s also built by a woodworker. The app developer is very responsive to any feedback, comments or suggestions, good and bad, and communicates on progress. I’ve never experienced anything like it from an app developer and I’m pleasantly surprised and impressed. If the app doesn’t work the way you want it to or the way you feel it should work, send James a note, and he’ll either make it right or explain why it works the way it does. It’s opened my eyes to different (better?) ways of tracking my shop’s inventory as well as handling sheet goods. A++ all around. I highly recommend this app!
