Native fraction math with a history line and decimal conversion. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide — no decimal conversion needed.

ShopHelper is built privacy-first. All your data stays on your device — here's exactly what the app can access and why.
Used only when you attach a photo or sketch to a journal entry. Photos stay on your device and are never uploaded to any server.
Only requested when you tap "Get Weather" for EMC calculations. Your approximate location is sent to wttr.in to fetch local temperature and humidity. We do not store your location.
Reads your device's accelerometer to provide real-time pitch and roll measurements. All sensor data is processed on-device only — nothing is transmitted.
Used when you export a cut list layout to PDF. Saves the file to a location you choose on your device. No files are uploaded externally unless you share them yourself.
Have a question, feedback, or found a bug? We're a small team that genuinely cares about making the best woodworking app possible.
