LeatherDraft is an offline app for designing wallet and card-holder patterns. Precise dimensions, stitch-hole calculations and true 1:1 printing — from idea to the cutting bench, no accounts, no cloud.
Every feature is built for the bench: cutting, gluing, punching, hand-stitching.
Canvas in millimeters, a calibration square baked into every PDF — check the printout with a ruler before you cut.
Open and closed curves, with corner, smooth, rounded or chamfered nodes.
Edge margin, spacing and hole count, symmetric edges, and a warning if the spacing doesn't divide evenly.
Snaps, magnetic snaps, eyelets, Chicago screws, rivets, card slots — with diameters and notes.
True scale, large pieces auto-tiled across pages with a 5 mm overlap and alignment marks — print straight to PDF on any printer. For 3D printing, export an STL template with stitch and hardware holes built in.
Portable build for Windows and a native build for macOS — no install, no accounts, no cloud, no telemetry. Project files are a plain, readable .ldraft.
Straight out of recent working builds — already in the app, not a concept.
Features are just the means. Here's why leatherworkers actually sit down and draft here.
What's on screen is what's on paper. Not a single stray pixel between the sketch and the cut.
No accounts, no subscription, no dependency on someone else's server — the app never touches the network.
A PDF with a 50×50 mm calibration square — check it with a ruler, pick up the knife, cut.
.ldraft is plain, readable JSON on your own disk — not a row in someone else's database.
Opens in any vector editor — for your archive, for a laser cutter, for the record.
Every decision was tested on my own bench, not dreamed up in a sales meeting.
Real screenshots at every step — no staged mockups.
The closed testing group is already full. Thanks to everyone who reached out — once spots open up or the app leaves beta, open recruiting will resume here.
