Independent craft tools · iPhone & iPad focus
Thoughtfully made apps for real crafts.
Broken Man Studios builds offline tools for makers and workshops. Current development focuses on iPhone and iPad, without app accounts, ads or tracking SDKs. Every result shows its assumptions, so you can double-check a plan before you buy materials. Feedback is always welcome.
The apps
Each app tackles one craft's math honestly, with a full page of its own — features, how the numbers work, and how to try it.

Broken Man Studios is an independent studio run by one person, building offline apps with an iPhone and iPad focus for makers and small workshops.
Who's behind it
Broken Man Studios is led by a solo creator, who builds and maintains every app in the lineup — currently QuiltMath, KnitMath and FrameBench, with iOS development prioritised.
Why it exists
Craft and workshop materials are expensive, and getting the math wrong mid-project is frustrating. Every app in the lineup shows its assumptions and rounds to practical purchase amounts, so you can double-check a plan before you buy.

Questions, bug reports and verification requests are welcome at contact@brokenmanstudios.com. You can also follow the studio on Facebook.
