ABOUT PLAINHANDY

PlainHandy is a home for practical everyday tools. Garden Measures turns garden measurements and local prices into a material shopping list. Quilt Measures turns finished quilt and fabric measurements into a cutting and buying plan. Baking Measures compares pans and scales your own ingredient quantities.

How your information is handled

Calculations run on our server. Your measurements and prices are submitted in URL query parameters. This application does not store plans in a database, create accounts, use tracking cookies, or include third-party analytics.

The browser history, server hosting logs, and anyone receiving a shared link may contain or see the entered values. Do not enter private information in area or ingredient names. The site uses locally hosted browser libraries. A hosting provider may keep technical access logs under its own policies.

When you choose a language, we remember it in a preference cookie for one year. It is used only to select your language, not to track you.

We count successful calculations by UTC day, tool and language. These totals do not contain your measurements, prices, ingredient names, IP address or a visitor identifier. The default retention is one year. No tracking cookie or external analytics script is used for these counts.

What an estimate means

Quantities use the geometry and values you provide. Product density, compaction, settlement, minimum orders and coverage vary. Confirm the product and quantity with your supplier before buying.

A small collection, built around one job

Our tools cover garden materials, quilt fabric, baking pan comparisons and ingredient scaling. The name is a working brand; no affiliation with material suppliers or extension services is implied.
