Draft, model and build — with tools you already know.

CadCraft is a family of eight open-source CAD and BIM apps for architects, engineers, drafters, estimators and detailers. The commands, layers and layouts work the way your hands already expect, your drawings stay in open formats on your own machine, and every app can be driven by a script or an AI agent. Early builds run in your browser today, and CadCraft Studio installs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, with your own files staying on your computer.

The lineup

The tools you already know the names of.

Each app is named for the work it does, in the words drafters, modelers, estimators and detailers already use. Each one owns a layer color, the way a drawing set gives each discipline its own.

    A Licensed Commercial Product

    One app to rule them all

    A separate product, sold under its own commercial license.

    $250 per seat, named seats, 3 years of free upgrades, commercial use.

    The one app that will rule them all. Every tool from the eight apps sits in one window, built from panels you arrange, tear off and save, so a drawing, a model, a markup and a quantity list are never in different programs.

    • One canvas, any view Switch the same model between 2D, 3D, topology and exploded views without leaving the canvas or reopening the file.
    • Report from a single interface Schedules, quantities, markups and plots come out of the same place you draw and model, from the same data.
    • Export to any supported format DWG, DXF, IFC, STEP, PDF and LandXML and the rest of the lineup's formats, from one export dialog.
    • Your layout, saved Workspaces for Layout, Build, Model, Report and Finalize set the starting arrangement; your preferences follow you, in the browser too.

Principles

Rules every app follows.

Six rules hold for every app in the lineup, the way one title block holds for every sheet in a set.

  • Open formats first

    DWG, DXF, IFC, STEP, PDF and LandXML in and out. Your drawings never need us to open them.

  • Works offline

    The desktop apps work on local files on your own disk, with no forced cloud. No sign-in and no license check to open a drawing or plot it.

  • Your muscle memory works

    The commands, aliases, layouts and shortcuts you already use do what your hands expect. Productive in the first hour, not the first month.

  • Scriptable to the command line

    Every app has a command-line interface, a JSON control channel and an MCP server, so scripts and AI agents can draft, check and plot alongside you.

  • Real desktop software

    CadCraft Studio installs all eight apps on Windows, macOS and Linux. Built to run on an 8 GB laptop, not a workstation.

  • Open source

    Every app's code is public on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license, one repository per app. Read it, build it, change it.

In the browser too

Every app also runs in your browser at getcadcraft.com/use, for a quick look at a drawing on a machine you don't own. Saving in the browser will come with the Team Cloud Plan, with drawings stored encrypted in the cloud. You can always export a copy to your own computer.

Own your drawings

  • Open formats

    DWG, DXF, IFC, STEP, PDF and LandXML in and out. A drawing made in CadCraft opens in whatever you use next, including tools that are not ours.

  • Yours forever

    Free and open source. If we disappeared tomorrow, the code and every file you made with it would still work.

  • No middleman between you and your files

    In the desktop apps, drawings live on your own disk. No account to open them, no upload to edit them and no subscription check to plot them.

What should we rebuild next?

Eight apps is the start, not the whole set. Tell us the tool you would rather own than rent, and why. The ideas with the most backing go on a public list for votes.
