More tools, same approach

We're working on the next set of workshop apps — same offline-first, anti-SaaS philosophy, different domain. If you'd like to influence what we build next, drop us a line.

Tell us what's missing

Our story

We were tired of seventeen browser tabs.

OneCut Studios started in a workshop in Michigan, not a coworking space. The first product, OneCut Shop, came out of frustration: every time I needed to figure out a miter angle for a segmented bowl, calculate how much epoxy to mix, or remember which dovetail angle works best for hardwood, I'd end up with seventeen browser tabs open and a notepad full of scribbled math.

So I built one app that does all of it. Then my business partner Bert started using it and asking for things. Then I realized other woodworkers probably had the same problem. Then we incorporated.

OneCut Studios LLC is a 50/50 partnership between two people who actually use the things we build. Teagan writes the code. Bert breaks it on a real workbench, then tells us what's missing. We don't have a CEO. We don't have a marketing department. We don't have a Slack workspace. We have a workbench, a laptop, and a long list of tools we wish existed.

What we believe

A few things we hold to.

Build it for yourself first.

If we wouldn't use it in our own shop, we don't ship it. Every feature in OneCut Shop exists because Teagan or Bert needed it for an actual project. No focus groups, no roadmap meetings.

Offline first, always.

Workshops have terrible WiFi. Lathes are loud. Glue is sticky. The last thing you need is an app that won't work because you're standing next to a band saw. Everything we make runs without internet.

Your data is yours.

No tracking, no analytics, no "anonymous usage data." Your project plans, photos, and notes live on your device. If we ever add cloud features, they're opt-in and you can export everything at any time.

Free for hobbyists, fair for pros.

The core tools in our apps will always be free for personal and small-business use. If we add premium features (cloud sync, sharing, gallery hosting), they fund development without locking out the hobbyist who just wants to figure out a miter angle.

Made by hand, on purpose.

We don't outsource design. We don't use SaaS templates. The apps and this website were all built by Teagan, in evenings and weekends, with input from Bert. If something looks rough, it's because a real person made it rather than a committee.

No dark patterns.

No fake countdown timers. No "365 people are looking at this right now." No subscription rage-quit screens. No forced account creation. Just tools that work and a way to pay us if you want to.
