WindingStick Twist

WindingStick Twist is an offline-first bench workbench for hand-tool woodworkers, cabinetmakers, furniture builders, and stock millers who true boards with a pair of winding sticks. Cold start opens a fullscreen board face—not a list. Four large corner hit-zones map near-left, near-right, far-left, and far-right. After you sight the sticks across the stock, one primary tap locks the high corner. Optional dual-end mode takes a second far-end pair so twist direction (clockwise vs counter) is computed right on the face. A pinned stock lock strip keeps length, width, thickness, species tag, and grain direction above the board while you work. You note plane-pass direction and cut count, then lock a single verdict card with stick-offset severity and a clear next-pass cue. Severity bands (slight / medium / heavy) come from your feeler or shim gap estimate and color the board overlay. The plane-pass prescription card suggests which corner to plane first, a pass-count band, and the stop condition when corners read coplanar. A seed library of 12 common board sizes and typical wind patterns loads length and a demo high-corner in one tap—maple slab, oak rail, pine shelf, and more. Save, rename, pin, and reopen completed cards on-device; compare two cards side-by-side for before/after plane work. Persistence is fully local via Room—no accounts, no cloud, no IAP required. Illustrated technique guides cover stick placement distance, eye-line height, common false reads, and a true-board exit checklist. Units and bench prefs (inch/mm, default stock presets, haptics on corner lock, keep-screen-on) live in Settings beside always-available Privacy Policy and Terms, with a first-run acknowledgment gate. Built for the moment at the bench when you already know how to sight sticks and only need a fast, clear record of high corner, severity, and the next plane pass.
