BoardFoot: Lumber Tally

Tally the stack on a fraction keypad and watch your board feet next to the yard's, then check their ticket before you pay. Works fully offline.

BoardFoot is free. Every tool, no in-app purchases, no ads, no account, and it all works with no signal.

TALLY THE STACK, AND SEE BOTH NUMBERS

Set thickness and price once, then type each board's width and length on a real fraction keypad and tap Add. BoardFoot runs two totals at the same time: your measured volume, and the same stack under the yard's own arithmetic (NHLA surface measure rounded to the whole square foot, anything under an inch tallied as 4/4, the rough quarter billed even on surfaced stock, width rounded to the inch, length rounded down to the foot). Both totals stay pinned on screen and the keypad can never cover them.

THEN CHECK THEIR TICKET

At the register, type the board feet and dollars on the yard's ticket. BoardFoot itemises the difference: surface-measure rounding, billed rough thickness, width rounding, price applied. Anything still unexplained is shown as an honest remainder rather than hidden, and there is no slider to drag until the numbers agree. On a $600 hardwood order, an 8 to 10 percent gap is $50 that no app has ever helped you find.

TYPE IT THE WAY YOUR TAPE MEASURE READS

5 3/8. 5-3/8. 1' 6 1/2". 3/8. 18.5. 470 mm. 47cm. Dictation too. Results come back as reduced fractions, with an approximation marker when the rounding actually moves the number, and a decimal toggle whenever you want one.
