Productivity
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
ShopHelper is the woodworking toolkit built for how you actually work — in the shop, at the lumber yard, and everywhere in between. Whether you're a
weekend hobbyist or a seasoned professional, ShopHelper puts 9 precision tools in your pocket so you can spend less time calculating and more time
building.
------------------------
9 TOOLS INCLUDED
------------------------
CUT LIST OPTIMIZER
Input your parts and get a color-coded visual cut map showing exactly how to lay out each sheet. See efficiency percentages, total cost, and required sheet
counts — then export a print-ready PDF to take to the shop.
BOARD FOOT CALCULATOR
Toggle between Lumber and Log mode, pull species directly from the Wood Database, adjust for quarter scale, rough-sawn buffer, and waste overhead. See line
cost per piece in real time.
WOOD DATABASE
Browse and filter 13 domestic and exotic species by color, Janka hardness, and price. Each entry includes price per board foot, radial and tangential
shrinkage rates, grain characteristics, and a built-in wood movement calculator.
MOISTURE LOGGER
Log readings with density correction factor, EMC, and stability status. Pull local weather data for ambient conditions and use quick capture for fast
entries mid-project.
DIGITAL LEVEL
Machine-grade sensitivity for pitch and roll. Set a relative zero on any reference surface and measure compound angles for crown moulding and complex
joinery cuts.
FRACTION CALCULATOR
Native fraction math with a running history line and instant decimal conversion. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide in fractions — exactly how woodworkers
think.
CUT LIST TO SHOPPING LIST
Organize materials across Lumber, Sheets, and Hardware tabs. Pull quantities directly from your cut list so nothing gets missed at the yard.
FINISHING JOURNAL
Track every project through status stages with finish recipes, hardware BOMs, task checklists, time logs, and attached photos or sketches — all in one
place.
TIME TRACKER
Run multiple named timers that tie directly into your Finishing Journal. Pause, save, reset, or delete any timer with one tap.
