WoodyLite — cut plan optimizer
Free cut plan optimizer for woodworkers, no login, no ads
Most cut-list optimizers are $50-80/month desktop apps with license headaches (SketchList 3D users report perpetual licenses breaking on upgrades), or Windows-only tools that haven't been updated in years (CutList Plus fx). WoodyLite is free, runs entirely in your browser (no install, no account), and keeps all your project data local nothing is ever uploaded. You can now also generate a shareable link to any cut plan so a teammate or fellow woodworker can open your exact layout instantly.
Hey everyone 👋 Maker of WoodyLite here.
I started this because every cut-list tool I found for woodworking was either $50-80/month (SketchList 3D), or a Windows-only app that hadn't been updated in years (CutList Plus fx). As a hobbyist, that felt like a lot to ask just to figure out how to lay out sheets of plywood without wasting material.
WoodyLite is free, runs entirely in your browser no login, no install, nothing ever leaves your device and gives you an optimized cutting layout with waste percentage, cut order, and offcut tracking. You can also generate a shareable link to any plan now, so you can send a finished layout straight to someone without exporting/emailing files.
Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's fought with cut-list software before what's missing that would make this an actual daily tool for you?
Been using something similar and the share link feature is genuinely useful. One thing that would make this way better for me: let me set kerf width per material, since hardwoods and plywoods behave differently and it throws off my yield estimates when everything assumes the same blade thickness.
runs right in the browser without signing up which is honestly rare for this kind of tool, and the shareable cut plan link is a really nice touch for showing a layout to my shop partner
Love that it runs in the browser with no account needed, that was the dealbreaker for me with the desktop tools. One thing that would make this a daily driver for my shop though is the ability to import a cut list directly from a CSV or spreadsheet, since I usually plan parts out in a spreadsheet before opening the optimizer. Drag-and-drop or paste from clipboard would save a ton of typing.
Finally a cut optimizer that just works in the browser without begging for my credit card. The shareable link feature is a genuinely nice touch for sending layouts to my shop partner.
