Stair Geometry Desk

Turn a cellar opening and floor-to-floor height into riser counts, pitch options, stringer step-off marks, and a waste-aware cut list—offline, in one sitting, with teaching drills that catch unsafe layouts before you cut.

Honest geometry before the first cut

Stair Geometry Desk is an offline Utilities workbench for DIY remodelers, cellar-access planners, and trade students who need honest stair geometry without scattering codebooks across the bench. Enter height, total run, opening width, target riser band, tread depth, and nosing; the app recomputes integer risers, exact rise and run, pitch angle, headroom envelope, and footprint live. Side-by-side Compare pins a steeper short-run against a gentler longer-run. Stringer mark lists, rough-cut material sheets, seeded bulkhead and low-headroom scenarios, and “spot the unsafe layout” drills ship on first launch. Local SwiftData only—no accounts, no cloud, no IAP. Export a multi-page educational stair sheet PDF with a fixed non-certification disclaimer on every page.

Workbench modules

Torch-lit tools · never a maze game
01 · SCENARIOS

Seeded cellar & remodel scenarios

Duplicate 12+ first-launch projects—bulkhead cellar, steep remodel, loft ship-style sample, low-headroom problem case, metric twin—each with teaching notes and pass/fail bands.

02 · LIVE

Live geometry workspace

Set floor-to-floor height, run, width, riser band, tread, nosing, and in/mm units; instantly get integer riser count, exact rise, tread depth, pitch, and total footprint.

03 · HEADROOM

Headroom diagram & band charts

Inspect a side-view envelope with clearance callouts plus a rise-per-step chart so out-of-band pitches shout before lumber hits the saw.

04 · STRINGERS

Stringer marks & Compare A/B

Generate along-stringer step-off lists and square-cut refs; pin steeper vs gentler configs to see angle, footprint, headroom, and tread deltas on one screen.

05 · MATERIALS

Waste-aware rough-cut sheet

Build stringer, tread, riser, and optional handrail totals from active geometry with adjustable offcut factor and bundled board-length stock assumptions.

06 · DRILLS · PDF

Unsafe-layout drills & PDF export

Submit riser/tread calls on seeded drills, then unlock step-by-step rationales. Preview multi-page stair sheets—summary, diagram, marks, materials, disclaimer—for shop or class.

Built for the bench, not the cloud

Bright Chicken Road–inspired cartoon cellar chrome—torch orange, lantern gold, cream stone, slime green—with a torch-and-tunnel motif that stays warm and instructive. Projects stay on-device in SwiftData. Educational PDFs carry a fixed non-certification disclaimer on every page.
