Tools for managing woodworking projects

The problem, in plain words: “I need a single place to track my woodworking projects, lumber inventory, and cut lists.”

Wood Craft Pro fits best.

You want a single tool to manage woodworking projects, keep a lumber/material inventory, and create/edit cut lists in one place.

Updated August 2026.

What fits

Wood Craft Prostrong · 86

Its stated feature set explicitly combines project management, material inventory (wood, hardware, supplies) and cut lists, which directly maps to your requirement for a unified woodworking workspace on a single device.

Best for: Hobbyist woodworkers and carpenters who want project tracking, lumber/parts inventory and cut lists in one offline app.

Caveat: Data is stored locally on the device with backup/restore; it is a very new listing with ads and may not offer seamless cloud sync.

Partly fits

Lumber Logic: Cutlist Calcpartial · 65

Strong cutlist generation and material optimization features that address cut lists and board-foot calculations, but its core focus is calculators and cutlist optimization rather than a unified project+inventory workspace.

Won’t cover: Focuses on calculators and cutlist optimization but does not provide a unified project management workspace or a full lumber inventory system.

CutList Pluspartial · 62

Desktop-grade sheet-layout and cutlist optimizer that produces detailed cut lists and material-cost calculations, which meets the cut list and material-usage part of your need very well.

Won’t cover: Provides powerful cutlist and material optimization but is primarily desktop software and does not include integrated project management and a lumber inventory built for workshop-level tracking.

KerfMaker Woodworking Plannerpartial · 60

Positioned to plan projects and estimate wood needs so you buy just enough material, which helps with cut lists and material estimation.

Won’t cover: Designed around estimating and planning material needs rather than offering a single app that also manages multiple projects and a persistent lumber inventory.

Krafio – Craft Project Trackerpartial · 58

A multi-craft project tracker that centralizes project details and progress, which matches the project-management part of your need.

Won’t cover: Covers project tracking across crafts but does not explicitly provide a dedicated lumber inventory and cutlist-generation workflow for woodworking.
