First the room and the alcove
Walls, angles and openings go in with the millimetre keypad. The app checks that the measurements agree before you draw the first wardrobe.
From alcove measurements to cut list
Dowelly is an iPad and Android tablet app for designing built-in wardrobes. For furniture designers, interior architects and carpenters: enter the alcove, lay out the carcasses and get the panels with edge banding and drilling.
In development. Tablet testing starts soon.

Carcasses total 2400 mm, flush with the alcove

From measuring to export
Then carcasses that fit the alcove
The wardrobe width follows the alcove minus the fitting gap, the carcasses split it evenly, and a top filler comes as a suggestion to accept. Interiors and fronts follow.
Finally the cut list and printouts
Panels with edge banding go to a CSV file for a board supplier, PRO100 or CutList Optimizer, and to a PDF for the carpenter. You confirm warnings before exporting.
What the carpenter gets
Example: an alcove wardrobe 1950 × 2500 × 697 mm with sliding doors. The figures come from a real cut list we check the calculations against.

For furniture designers and carpenters
Dowelly is made for people who measure the alcove with a laser, draw the wardrobe at the client’s home and cut the boards in the workshop. One tool from measuring to cut list, without heavy CAD software.
- Works offline, no account needed. Projects stay on the tablet. An account is optional and only syncs them.
- Millimetres as on the drawing. Plain numbers, the way carpenters write them: 2400.
- No ads, tracking or AI. The results come from construction rules built into the app.
- Poland first. Other European Union countries next.
