Nookshift

A personal layout worktable

Shift the nook.
Keep the change visible.

Declare a room and its unit, move ordinary furniture blocks, observe the gaps created by your entries, then save tracing-sheet variants without turning the result into a score.

Try the lightweight board

Illustrative paper model. Your values stay native and editable in the app.

Interaction first

Move one block. The observation follows.

This page demo uses a simple illustrative board. In Nookshift, the room, object and unit values come from the fields you enter.

Illustrative entered gap: move the sofa to update this note. No standard is applied.

01 / DECLARE

The sheet begins with your rectangle.

Width, depth and the explicit unit sit beside the work—not behind an automatic scan. Re-declaring a value changes the model because you chose it.

02 / PLACE

Direct when you want it. Labeled when you need it.

Drag a block on the native board, or use the nudge cross. Rotate a rectangular footprint, edit its fields and keep the selected object unmistakable.

03 / OBSERVE

A gap is an entered relationship, not a verdict.

Nookshift describes wall-edge gaps, the nearest entered block and overlaps from the same rectangles you supplied. Add an Open, Tight or Recheck note in your own context.

04 / SAVE

Dock a state without freezing the idea.

Name a tracing sheet, keep working, reopen an earlier state and continue from the board you choose. Local state survives an ordinary relaunch.

05 / COMPARE + UNDO

Only the changed fields speak louder.

Align two saved sheets, read the values that differ, restore one, or undo a recent board edit. There is no winner, safety grade or professional recommendation.

Keep the boundary close

A visualization built from your entries.
