You can build this.
Sawvy is a woodworking app for your iPhone. Design a piece in 3D, see it at true scale in your room, and build it with an exact cut list and step-by-step plans.
The hard part of woodworking was never the wood. It's the math, the guesswork, and not knowing where to start.
Sawvy takes an idea and turns it into something you can actually cut. No CAD to learn, no formulas to memorize — just a piece you can shape, price, and build with confidence.
Shape it in 3D. No CAD required.
Start from a real project and make it yours — change the size, the legs, the joinery, the species. Turn it in your hand and watch every dimension update live.
- 7 species · walnut, oak, maple, cherry & more
- Live dimensions in fractional inches
- Tables · shelves · nightstands · trays · boards
See it in your room before you cut a board.
Preview a piece at true scale with AR, or drop a photoreal render right into a photo of the spot it's headed. Get the proportions right while it still costs nothing to change.
Sawvy already did the math.
Every board, every dimension, board-feet and rough stock — generated the moment your design is done. No more guessing at the lumberyard.
| Part | Qty | Dimensions (T × W × L) | Stock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top (glue-up) | 1 | ¾″ × 30″ × 60″ | 4/4 walnut |
| Legs (tapered) | 4 | 1¾″ × 1¾″ × 34¼″ | 8/4 walnut |
| Aprons — long | 2 | ¾″ × 3½″ × 52″ | 4/4 walnut |
| Aprons — short | 2 | ¾″ × 3½″ × 22″ | 4/4 walnut |
| Corner blocks | 4 | 1½″ × 2½″ × 5″ | offcuts |
And the right tools for the job.
Every project lists the tools it needs. Check off what you already own, and Sawvy lines up the rest — with an honest "you really need this" vs. "nice to have."

Then it walks you to the finish.
Clear, ordered steps in plain language — with the techniques that actually matter for your piece, and short videos for the joinery and finishing moves.
