About HangPlanner

HangPlanner started as a weekend itch. I was helping my parents hang a row of family photos, we measured five times, drilled twice, and the line was still crooked. There had to be a way to plan this on screen first — to scale, with real units — before any holes happened.

Most "wall layout" apps are decorator mock-ups: pretty visuals, no calibration. The frames are not 50 cm wide on your wall, they're 50 pixels wide in a JPG. When you tape the print-out up, nothing matches.

HangPlanner is the opposite. The canvas is locked to real centimetres or inches. Snap-alignment uses pixel thresholds that translate back to mm. Export is true 1:1 — you print a multi-page poster the size of your wall, tape it up, mark the hooks, drill. No more "almost right".

Who's behind it

Built solo by Kevin in Sydney, Australia. Previously bouncing between WordPress, Python and Figma. HangPlanner is a side project I dogfood every time I move house — which is more often than I'd like.
