Itadori
Cut list optimizer for iPhone

Cut lists that count the kerf,
so the last piece is never short

Enter the stock you have and the parts you need, in fractional inches or millimeters. Itadori returns a cutting diagram that subtracts the saw blade (about 1/8 in) at every cut.

Works offline No account One-time $9.99 iOS 17 or later

The free version includes the full optimizer and cutting diagram. The App Store link will be added at launch.

Why

No more “the last piece is 1/8 in short”

How many 2x4s do I need? Which cuts leave the least waste? Do it on paper and the classic mistake is forgetting the blade kerf, so the board runs out one piece early.

Pencil and calculator

Four 24 in pieces from a 96 in board

24 × 4 = 96, so it looks like a perfect fit. Three cuts at 1/8 in each eat 3/8 in, and the fourth piece comes out 23 5/8 in.

Kerf is part of the layout

Every cut subtracts the kerf. End trimming and the minimum usable offcut are part of the plan, so you get the real board count and cut order.

Two boards. The 71 7/8 in offcut from the second board goes into your next project.

Features

Only what the shop needs, done right

Several stock lengths at once

Register 2x4 8 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft and more. Add unit prices and Itadori picks the cheapest combination.

Kerf, end trim, usable offcut

Set the kerf per cut, trimming at both ends and the length below which an offcut is scrap. Layouts that leave usable offcuts win.

Plywood sheet layouts

Nest shelves and sides on a 4x8, 4x4 or 5x5 sheet. Guillotine cuts only, so a track saw or panel saw can follow the diagram as is.

Material groups

2x4 and 1x4, pine and oak never get mixed. Parts are only placed on stock from the same group.

Boards, yield and offcuts at a glance

Board count, yield, cost estimate and the offcut list sit at the top of the result. The diagram is color-coded by part.

PDF / PNG exportPro

Export the diagram and the lists as a PDF or PNG to print for the shop or share with a friend.

Backup export / importPro

All your projects in one file. Move to a new phone without going through any cloud.

Fractional inches

Type 35 3/4 or 35.75 and see everything to the nearest 1/16 in. Presets for 2x4 8 to 16 ft, studs and 4x8 sheets.

How it works

A cutting diagram in 3 steps

Register your stock

Pick from presets (2x4 8 ft, studs, 4x8 sheets) or type a length and price.

Enter the parts

One row per part: name, length such as 17 3/4, quantity.

FAQ

FAQ

Does it run on iPad?

iPhone only. iPad is not supported.

Does it handle fractional inches?

Yes. Type 35 3/4, 35-3/4 or 35.75 and everything is shown to the nearest 1/16 in. You can also switch to mm or cm at any time.

Can it optimize sheet goods (2D)?

Yes. Set the project type to Sheet, enter sheets as long × short side and parts as length × width, and Itadori lays them out with guillotine cuts. Turn off Rotate for parts whose grain must run one way.

How far does the free version go?

The optimizer and the diagram are fully available. Limits are 1 saved project, 2 stock types and 5 part rows.

What happens when I get a new phone?

Export a backup file with Pro and import it on the new phone. The Pro purchase carries over with Restore Purchases.

Where is my data stored?

Only on your phone. Nothing is sent to anyone, including the developer.
