Open CAD drawings anywhere on site
Built for professionals who work with blueprints every day
DWG files shouldn't require a desktop
Construction professionals need access to drawings on site — but existing solutions are clunky, require internet, or force you to convert files first.
No internet on site
Cloud-based viewers are useless in basements, remote sites, or areas with poor connectivity.
Forced file conversion
Converting DWG to PDF loses layers, dimensions, and metadata — exactly what you need on site.
Chained to a laptop
AutoCAD and desktop viewers aren't practical when you're walking a job site with dirty gloves.
Your drawings. Your device. Zero dependencies.
PlanInspect reads DWG files natively on your iPad or iPhone using a custom-built Swift parser. No uploads, no third-party servers, no waiting.
100% on-device
Your drawings never leave your device. Works completely offline.
Instant rendering
Native Metal rendering for silky smooth pan, zoom, and interaction.
Full DWG fidelity
See every layer, block, and entity. No conversion artifacts.
Privacy first
No cloud accounts, no data collection, no analytics on your files.
