Cut-list optimization for Mac and tablet - no install required
Zuschnix calculates cutting plans for sheet goods (wood, particle board, MDF, furniture making) right in the browser - with kerf and grain lock, no download and no account. Built for anyone who used to have to choose between Windows-only software and a bare-bones online calculator.
Is there a cut-list optimizer that runs on Mac and iPad?
Yes: Zuschnix runs as a web app in any browser, so it works on macOS just as well as on iPad/tablet - no native install, no Windows needed.
Can I sync a cutting project between devices without creating an account?
Yes. "Save project" generates a code instead of a login. Entering this code on another device loads the same project - e.g. plan on the Mac, continue on the iPad in the workshop.
Can I print labels straight to my Wi-Fi/network printer instead of via a PDF file?
Yes. "Print labels" opens the normal browser print dialog with a ready-made label sheet (part name, dimensions, rotation, sheet number) - the browser talks directly to any network or AirPrint printer, no Avery template or PDF detour needed.
What does Zuschnix cost?
Calculation, label printing and project sync are free to use up to 8 parts per project. For larger projects, a one-time Pro license removes the part limit.
Can I use multiple sheet sizes at once?
Yes. Add one row per available sheet size and enter how many you have in stock - if the amount isn't enough, a warning appears before you start cutting. Leave the quantity empty for unlimited.
Is my data stored on the server?
Only when you press "Save project" or print (which saves automatically for you) - that creates a code the project can be retrieved with. Without saving, everything stays in the browser only; nothing is sent to the server automatically.
Tips for cutting sheet material
Make the long, straight cuts first, then the short ones - this keeps the sheet stable on the saw for longer.
Fewer cuts overall means less waste from the blade width (kerf).
Enable "Grain locked" for visible grain - otherwise a part may be rotated for a better fit.
Keep offcuts - a scrap piece is often enough for the next small project.
