Know exactly how to cut the log before the blade touches wood.
Measure a log and LogPlan lays out the whole cut — every pass, every rotation, and the exact leg heights for your mill. You see the board count and yield before you start, not after. Wood decides; we do the math.
More yield from every log. Less time and money lost to guesswork.
One app, from the first measurement to the last board.
LogPlan
Measure a log, get the plan, run the cut. LogPlan works out the block geometry, fits recovery boards into the slab wood for extra yield, and walks you through the mill cut by cut — block, through-and-through, or quarter-sawn, metric or imperial.
Point the phone at the end grain.
LogPlan finds the cross-section, traces the bark line, and reads the diameters — max and min, to the millimetre. Tap each end and the length works out from there. No tape, no chalk, no guessing.
Prefer to key the numbers in by hand? That works too.
Every board has a history. LogPlan keeps it.
From the round you just bucked to the plank in your workshop — three stages, one thread.
Forest
Measure a freshly bucked log where it lies. Point the camera at each end — diameter, taper, and length before it leaves the forest.
Mill
Follow the plan, cut by cut. LogPlan lays out the boards and the exact leg heights to get the most from every log.
Drying Yard
Stack it, scan it, and let LogPlan call the ready date — drying targets and an estimate that factors in your local weather.
Know when it's dry. Not guess.
The hard part of milling your own timber isn't the cut — it's the wait. LogPlan watches the weather at your location and forecasts a moisture curve for every stack, so you plan around ready dates instead of stabbing a meter into a random board and hoping.
Start free. Get the full mill, or the whole lifecycle.
Every plan syncs across web and iOS, with Android on the way. Paid tiers are bought inside the app — no card details on the web.
Prices vary by region — the exact amount is shown in the app at purchase.
Everything in Starter, plus harvest site and drying yard.

The tool I wanted for my own logs.
I own land in west Norway, planted thick with Sitka spruce in the 1950s and '60s — trees that had grown almost too big to handle. I started milling them on a Logosol where they fell, went looking for software to plan my cuts, and didn't find anything I liked. So I built it.
LogPlan is the tool I wanted for my own logs, from the woods to the dry board.
