SketchForge3D

Open-source CAD that runs right in your browser

What it does

SketchForge is an open-source CAD tool that runs entirely in your browser. It’s built to sit between beginner 3D tools and heavy desktop CAD. It's easy to start with, but capable enough for real projects. Create with primitives, sketches, extrusion, booleans, fillets, chamfers, STEP import/export and more. No installation, no locked-down format, and no paywall to start designing. Built for makers, students, classrooms and anyone who wants CAD to feel simpler.

Create, edit, combine, import, and export 3D models with SketchForge, a free Tinkercad alternative that works directly in your browser—no account required.

Shape, combine, refine, import, and export models in one focused workspace. No account or payment required. SketchForge keeps the first step simple, whether you are creating from scratch, importing a model, or returning to a workplane. Find recent projects and return to the latest version quickly. Build directly on the workplane while the selected group, material state, and exact dimensions stay visible beside the model. Keep the workplane, view cube, zoom controls, and selected geometry in one clear canvas. Adjust length, width, and height while switching the selection between solid and hole. Group, combine, modify, arrange, and export from the same focusedfrom sketchforge3d.com

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
