A personal finance simulator showing side by side how kids, debt and your retirement timeline affect long-term wealth. A free consumer app, not a professional financial-planning tool.
Watch out · Built by a solo developer in SwiftUI — a personal modeling tool, not licensed financial advice.
FreeNo ads
What to know▼
How it works
Shows two side-by-side scenarios modeling how debt payoff timelines, child costs (using real county-level NDCP childcare data), and retirement timing interact, with a financial-independence age based on the 4% rule that updates in real time as you adjust inputs.
What's different
Compares two scenarios side by side rather than showing a single projection like most financial simulators.
Pricing
Free, no ads, no purchases.
Best for
People trying to see how having kids, carrying debt, or retirement timing would change their long-term wealth.

Upload a floor-plan photo and it auto-detects rooms and walls, then furnishes the space to true scale with AI, with no sign-up and processing kept on-device.
No sign-up
What to know▼
How it works
Upload a floor-plan photo or scan and AI vision detects the rooms and walls automatically, then furnishes the space at true dimensions based on a description of how you live there.
What's different
No tracing or CAD work needed, and no sign-up is required for the core tool; plans are processed on-device.
Best for
People planning a room layout who want true-scale furnishing without learning CAD software.

Opens, measures and marks up DWG/DXF CAD files in the browser without installing AutoCAD; parsing happens locally so files aren't uploaded. Aimed at contractors and reviewers, not software developers.
FreeNothing to installWorks offline
What to know▼
How it works
Opens DWG and DXF CAD files directly in the browser without AutoCAD, letting you view layers, search labels, measure distances, mark up issues, convert between DWG/DXF/PDF, and share view-only links. Supports DWG formats from R12 through 2024.
What's different
Parses files locally in the browser by default rather than uploading them to a server, and requires no AutoCAD license or install.
Pricing
Free.
Best for
Contractors, engineers, and reviewers who need to view or mark up CAD drawings without owning AutoCAD.

A simulation and AI toolkit for robotics developers to build, train, test and deploy robots, not a ready-made robot itself.
What to know▼
How it works
An integrated environment for building, training, testing and deploying robots, combining simulation, AI-driven workflows and simulation asset sharing.
What's different
Bridges simulation, learning and real-world deployment in one environment, versus tools that focus only on hardware or isolated simulation.
Best for
Robotics developers who want to build and train robots without stitching together separate hardware and simulation tools.

Tools for engineering simulation and CAD — the short answers
Every number here comes from our own daily check — not from a vendor list.
Tools for engineering simulation and CAD — how many are there?
Tablif is tracking 40 of them. 40 answered our check today.
Which ones are still maintained?
Tablif knocks on every door once a day and records the answer. 40 of these 40 responded on the latest run, so that number is what "still here" means on this page — not a review score.
Are any of them free?
10 of the live ones say so in their own words, and 1 let you start without making an account. Tablif records the claim the product makes; we don't verify pricing.
Any open-source options?
2 of the live ones on Tablif mention being open source.
What's the newest one?
PartFit 3D — Tablif first saw it today.
Did a person actually look at these?
40 of them Tablif opened and read, then wrote a one-line summary in our own words instead of reusing the founder's tagline. The rest carry keyword labels we haven't confirmed by reading yet — and we say so rather than hiding it.
