Intuitive 2D Rapid Layout Tool for Flooring or Tiling: Version 1.0

(Written February 3, 2026 by Jason Cousineau)

A small, focused tool that removes friction between idea and execution: fast, precise, and unpretentious.

It exists to make good decisions easy—showing exact cuts and counts so layouts are intentional, waste is reduced, and craftsmanship is respected.

Designed so a person who knows how to tile and can use a mouse gets useful results in minutes. No tutorials, no downloads, no setup, no fiddling — just faster, more confident planning.

Features:

• Simple and immediate — Why learn a whole CAD package for one shower? Complex desktop apps with steep learning curves waste time and attention; this planner is intentionally minimal so a competent tiler can get actionable results in real-time.

• Opens instantly in a browser — Web‑based and lightweight: no installs, no signups, no paywalls.

• Compatible with mobile devices - the PC version works better - but this does work on mobile.  An Android App will soon be available in the Play Store.

• Handles real, irregular surfaces —Freeform polygon drawing with snapping and vertex editing models real surfaces quickly.

• Uses the units you already use — Accepts mm, cm, fractional inches, and decimal inches at all times so measurements stay intuitive.

• Lets you nudge the pattern precisely — simple and effective alignment controls make small adjustments fast, preventing thin edge pieces and ugly finishes.

• Provides an exact tile count (full + partial) — You get the exact number of tiles, not an estimate that makes you overbuy or run back to the store.

Instructions:

3. Surface Design

•     Use Add Line to trace the surface you’re tiling.

  • •         You don’t need to draw perfectly — the line auto‑straightens.

    •         Hold Shift to disable auto‑straightening.

    •         After drawing each segment, you’ll be prompted to enter its exact length.

    •         If you make a mistake, hit "Esc" (keyboard) or the "X Cancel" button on mobile.

•     To connect lines cleanly:

  • •         Hover over a vertex (endpoint) to start the next line there — it will turn green.

    •         Hover over an existing line to connect the new line to it — the line will turn green.

•     Use Edit to move or delete lines:

  • •         Click a line and press Delete to remove it.

    •         Drag a vertex to adjust the shape.

    •         Drag a selection box to move multiple vertices at once.

•     Use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out, pinch to zoom on mobile.

•     WASD can be used to pan on desktop, two-finger pan works on mobile.

•     Use Recenter View if the layout drifts off‑screen.

•     The Distance Tool shows how far your cursor is from nearby lines.

4. Tile Alignment

•     Use the arrow keys or the alignment controls to shift the tile grid under your surface.

•     This helps you avoid tiny, difficult, or awkward cuts and plan a clean layout.

5. Finalize

•     Click Detect Surfaces.

•     Select the areas you want tiled.

•     The tool will show the exact cut‑tile measurements inside those surfaces.
