In short

Plankly: Woodworking Plans turns a photo of furniture or a written idea into a buildable plan, with sized parts, a cut list, a shopping list and step-by-step 3D instructions. It is aimed at home woodworkers and offers 19 adjustable ready designs. One standout feature is life-size AR, which lets you place the piece in your room before cutting any boards.

About

Snap a piece of furniture you like, or describe an idea — Plankly turns it into a plan you can actually build.

WHAT YOU GET • Real sizes in centimetres or inches (to 1/16″) — switch any time, the whole plan follows. • A cut list that leaves room for your saw blade: sheet and board layouts in cutting order, kerf and waste as a percentage. • A shopping list in your DIY store’s sizes — 2x4s and 4×8 ft sheets in the US, 18 × 95 mm boards and 2500 × 1250 mm sheets in Europe — with screws, glue and finish. • A 3D view: turn it, explode it, watch each step come together. • Life-size AR: place the piece in your room before you cut a single board. • Step-by-step building in 3D: every part labelled A, B, C, every screw shown where it goes — and a PDF to take to the workshop.

HOW IT WORKS AI recognises the kind of piece and its main sizes. Everything after that — parts, joints, cuts, the shopping list — is calculated by the app, not guessed. Change the width, height, depth or the number of shelves and it all recalculates instantly.

19 READY DESIGNS Bookcases, cube shelves, a bedside table, a shoe rack, a TV unit, coffee and dining tables, a desk, a workbench, a platform bed, benches, a raised bed, planters, wall shelves and more — each one adjustable to your space.

MADE FOR HOME WORKSHOPS Pocket screws, dowels, housing joints or plain screws — pick the joints you can do with the tools you have. Tall pieces come with a reminder to anchor them to the wall.
