Questions people ask before they start.

What the planner knows, what it costs, and what you walk away with. If your question is not here, the support page has a way to reach a real person.

The cases, the tool, and what it costs.

Ten answers, and none of them promise anything the tool does not already do.

Which tool cases does it know?

217 cases today, across Festool, Benchdogs UK, Lamello, TSO Products and UJK. Each one carries its real footprint, so the cabinet is sized to actually hold it with working drawer slides. More case families are on the way.

Which brands are in the inventory?

The inventory holds 217 Systainers today, and it keeps growing. The brands in it right now are Festool, Benchdogs UK, Lamello, TSO Products and UJK. New case families get added as they are measured, so a brand that is not on the list yet is usually waiting on a set of real measurements.

What is a sysport?

Sysport is what the Festool forums call a cabinet built to hold Systainers on pull-out trays. The name comes from Festool's own SYS-PORT, a rolling Systainer cabinet the company sells, and woodworkers borrowed it for the ones they build themselves. That is what this planner sizes, whether you call it a sysport, a Systainer wall or a bank of drawers.

Are you affiliated with Festool or TANOS?

No. This is an independent planning tool. SYSTAINER is a registered trademark of TANOS GmbH, and Festool is a separate brand. We name them only to say which cases the planner is sized for. We are not endorsed by or connected to either company.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your web browser on a computer or a tablet. Your projects are saved to your account, so they follow you between machines.

Can I choose my own materials?

Yes. Materials live in a shared library you add to once, and every component picks one: the carcass, the back, the nailers, the stretchers, the trays and the shelves. A box can mix 3/4 inch sides, a 1/4 inch back and 1/2 inch trays. Edgebanding is worked out per exposed edge rather than chosen per component.

What does the free trial include?

Everything. For 7 days you get the whole planner with no card needed: the full catalog, the sizing math, the stock list, the cut list and the sheet layout. Sign up, and the first thing you see is a finished sample wall you can take apart.

What does it cost after the trial?

Nineteen dollars a month for unlimited projects, cancel any time. If you only want to plan one wall, a one-time payment of forty-nine dollars covers a single project and nothing renews.

Can I get the cut list for the wall I planned?

Yes. The whole bank goes to the Cut List Optimizer in one step, where every part is arranged onto your sheets with the saw kerf and the edgebanding already taken out. It reports how many sheets you used and how much of them became parts, and it offers any usable offcut back as a remnant you can spend on the next job.

Where do I sign in?

Right here on stackdesign.app - sign-in stays on this site and lands you in the planner. One login is one person, and the same sign-in also works on cabdesign.app. Sign in on a second computer and the first one signs out - each person on a team has their own login and subscription.

Not covered here? How it works walks the five stages, pricing lays out all three plans, and support and guides has the step-by-step articles and a way to write to us.
