Frame math a workshop can trust.

FrameBench turns artwork and framing measurements into a checked long-point and short-point cut worksheet, a moulding stock estimate, and a defensible customer price — with every assumption shown.

What FrameBench does

Plan a framing job with clear, offline cut math. Enter artwork, mat and moulding measurements, and see every component size and cut length with the assumptions shown.

Full cut worksheet

Mat window, mat outside, glass, backing, rabbet opening and outside frame size, plus long-point and short-point rail lengths for 45° joints.

Metric or imperial

Work in mm, cm or inches — no calculation ever mixes units.

Individual or equal mat borders

Set one border for all four sides, or top/right/bottom/left independently, with an optional weighted bottom mat.

Configurable waste allowance

Net moulding length and a with-waste purchase length, shown side by side.

3 saved jobs

Keep up to three framing jobs' full measurements on-device between sessions.

No account, no ads, no analytics

Nothing to sign up for and nothing tracking you. Calculations happen entirely on your device.

★ Pro — one-time purchase, not a subscription

Stock-stick planning

Enter your supplier's stick length, saw kerf and end trim to get whole sticks to buy, purchased length, cut-and-trim loss and usable offcuts.

Profit guard price draft

Materials, labour, markup or target margin and an optional tax rate combine into a suggested customer price — markup and margin are kept as separate, clearly labelled modes.

Unlimited saved jobs

Keep every job's full measurements, notes and price draft on-device, not just the last three.

PDF work order

A shareable, printable work order with the cut list and price summary, generated locally and shared through Android's system share sheet.

How the numbers work

FrameBench shows a planning estimate, not a guaranteed cut sequence. Here's what it assumes, so you know what you're getting before you cut.

What's the difference between mat window, outside size and rabbet opening?

Artwork size, the mat's visible opening, the rabbet opening and the outside frame size are always shown as separate figures — FrameBench never collapses them into one ambiguous "frame size".

Is the stock-stick estimate a cutting sequence?

No — it's a deterministic best-fit-decreasing purchasing estimate: how many whole sticks to buy and the expected offcuts. Profile defects, grain matching and shop-specific chop conventions remain the framer's call.

Why are markup and target margin kept separate?

The same percentage produces a different selling price depending on whether it's applied as markup on cost or as a target margin on price — FrameBench labels each mode explicitly instead of guessing which one you meant.

Should I still verify before cutting?

Yes — always verify actual moulding profiles, rabbet dimensions, saw setup and the final cutting sequence before cutting or ordering material.
