Basic calculator always free. • One-time purchase to unlock. No subscriptions. No ads. • Free updates included • Works on iPad and iPhone • English and Spanish language included Whether you're framing walls, cutting stringers, laying out rafters, ordering roofing and block, or squaring foundations, CutOnce gives you accurate answers in the units you actually use.

• Five memory registers. Store and recall up to five separate values with the new M1 through M5 keys, so you can hold a few running totals at once instead of just one. • New trig calculator. A dedicated Trig mode handles sin, cos, and tan plus their inverses, with degree or degrees-minutes-seconds entry, and your work prints to the tape and PDF like every other calculator. • Rake wall PDF. Export a rake wall as a dimensioned elevation with a full, paginated stud schedule you can hand to the crew or the yard. • Clearer rake wall angles. Cards, tape, and PDF now spell out which angle is the pitch off square and which is the bevel from the stud's edge, and any value that had to be rounded is marked so you know when to trust the exact number. • More accurate rafters. Ridge height now includes height above plate, ridge boards are sized from the real plumb-cut depth, board layout edges are corrected, and the lumber PDF now shows the length, spacing, and rafter-count assumptions behind the list. • Cleaner keypad labels. Separator keys now read ft-in and a/b across every calculator, matching the main keypad. • Your work is saved. If your phone closes the app to free up memory, CutOnce now brings back your inputs and results right where you left them.
