STUDSHEET
Every tool. Every piece. One sheet.
The whole job on one sheet: the drawing, every piece counted with the math shown, the tools and the order of work. No account needed.

How it works
1
Tell it what you’re building
Plain words, like “carpet a 12×14 bedroom”. It asks only the questions that change the answer.
2
Get the Sheet
A drawing, every piece counted with the math shown, the tools to own, buy or rent, and the mistakes that ruin the job.
3
Shop once, build with the checklist
One shopping list in store order, then the steps in order with cure timers. Save it to your jobs, no account needed.
