What fits

Wood Craft Pro logo
Wood Craft Prostrong · 88

It’s an offline woodworking app that’s built specifically to manage projects and materials, with cut lists as a first-class feature. It also stores everything locally on your device and supports backing up/restoring your database, which fits your goal of having one place for ongoing workshop info.

Best for: Keeping your woodworking projects, lumber/material inventory, and cut lists in one offline place.

Partly fits

CutList: Wood Project Plannerpartial · 62

It focuses on organizing woodworking project details and cut lists, but it doesn’t clearly present lumber inventory tracking as part of the core workflow.

Won’t cover: It emphasizes cut-list and project organization more than managing lumber inventory alongside them.

Lumber Logic: Cutlist Calcpartial · 51

It’s designed around calculating and planning cut lists (and supports importing cutlists via CSV), but it’s more a calculator/planner than a dedicated lumber-inventory-and-project hub.

Won’t cover: It’s centered on cutlist calculations rather than a unified lumber inventory tracker tied to your projects.

CutList Pluspartial · 49

It generates optimized cutting diagrams and material cost details and can export cut lists, but it’s primarily sheet-layout optimization software rather than a single app to manage both inventory and project cut lists together.

Won’t cover: It’s optimized for cutting-layout and reporting rather than consolidating a lumber inventory database with your projects and cut lists.
