Free, no-signup floor planning tool hits 600+ plans in two weeks
The creator built a floor planning tool after struggling to plan a new apartment with existing tools that were either too complex or charged money early (SmartDraw cost about $50 just to draw a single wall). The goal was a Canva-style tool: simple, free, no learning curve. The core rule was that anyone could open it and start drawing immediately, with no account, no paywall, and no limits.
In the first two weeks, the tool generated over 600 plans and . No signup is required to draw or save, since guests get full saving that removes any hard wall to hit. Even so, 102 people chose to create accounts, mostly to keep their plans synced across devices and to export them, a result the creator did not expect.
Nearly all traffic came from a couple of Reddit posts with zero , and a steady trickle of unprompted messages suggesting fixes and features became the most rewarding part of the launch.
