  • Lengths, areas, counts, and calibrated scale
  • Project cost database with vendors
  • No account. No subscription. MIT licensed.

Unsigned builds, on purpose

macOS may ask you to allow Zigplan in Privacy & Security, or to right-click and Open. Windows SmartScreen can appear on unsigned installers — choose More info, then Run anyway.
