Start with the free cut worksheet

The checked cut worksheet, the frame drawn to scale, a work order PDF with your workshop name and up to three saved jobs are free. Type inches the way you write them — 13 5/8, 13-5/8 or 13⅝ — and read results to the nearest 1/8″, 1/16″ or 1/32″, or switch to millimetres or centimetres.

Pro for the business side, without a subscription

FrameBench Pro is an optional one-time purchase, not a subscription. It adds a stock-stick plan with saw kerf, end trim, remnants already on your shelf and a labelled cut map, a profit guard for materials, labour, tax and minimum charge, a client quote PDF and unlimited saved jobs. Current prices appear in your local currency in the App Store. Already upgraded on another device? Use Restore purchase with the same Apple Account.

No account, no ads, no analytics

Jobs, rates and workshop details stay on your device, and FrameBench works without a connection. Buying or restoring Pro needs internet. FrameBench is a planning aid: always confirm the moulding profile, saw setup and final measurements before cutting valuable material.

Available for iPhone and iPad

FrameBench 1.1 runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 16.4 or later. On iPad, measurements sit on the left and the checked cuts update on the right.
