TrueCut: Construction Calc

Free 14-day full trial. Then $24.99 once. No subscription, ever. Basic feet-inch math and the baluster solver stay free forever.

Pro construction calculator. One-time purchase. No subscription.

Free 14-day full-featured trial. Basic feet-inch calculator and baluster solver free forever. One-time $24.99 unlock — that's it. No subscription, ever.

TrueCut shows you the cut, not just the number. Every trade calculation renders a live, dimensioned diagram — a rafter triangle, a stringer profile, a baluster layout — so you see the answer before you make it.

Built for gloves, thumbs, and full sun: a fraction-native keypad (tap 5, then 1/2 — done), 56pt keys, haptic feedback on every press, and a one-tap high-contrast Site Mode for the jobsite.
