Stop losing jobs
on the whiteboard.
Swarf is the dead-simple job tracker built for small machine shops. See every job, every machine, every due date — in one board. No ERP. No bloat. No per-user pricing.
Up and running before your coffee gets cold.
Create your shop
Pick a name, invite your team. Everyone gets access — no per-seat fees.
Add your jobs
Job number, customer, due date, machine — that's it. Attach drawings, photos, whatever you need.
Start tracking
Drag jobs through columns, see what's running on every machine, catch overdue work before it's a problem.
Sound familiar?
You're running a 6-figure shop off a whiteboard and your memory.
Papers get lost
Job tickets fall behind machines. Notes get smudged with coolant. Customer calls about status — you're digging through a pile.
ERP is overkill
JobBOSS wants $500/mo. MRPeasy charges per user. You just need to know what's running and when it ships.
Excel locks you out
One person has the file open, everyone else is locked out. By Friday it's a week behind reality.
"When's my job done?"
Customer calls. Walk to the floor. Check the board. Call them back. Repeat 10 times a day.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Built for shops with 1–50 people. Replaces whiteboards, spreadsheets, and sticky notes.
Job Board
Drag jobs through columns. Queued, Cutting, QC, Ship, Done. Customize for your workflow.
Everyone Sees the Board
The whole shop on one board at the same time. No fighting over the spreadsheet.
Search Everything
Customer, PO, part number, machine, assignee, notes. One search box finds it all.
File Attachments
Drawings, photos, G-code, CAD files. Attached to the job, viewable on any device. Search by filename.
Machine View
What's running on every machine. Priority queue so operators know what's next.
Works on Your Phone
Native iOS and Android apps. Snap a photo, check a job, move a card — right from the floor.
Works Offline
Spotty shop WiFi? No problem. The board syncs locally and catches up when you're back online.
Notes & Audit Trail
Notes on any job. Full history — who moved what, when. Nothing falls through.
Due Date Alerts
Color-coded urgency on every job. Get notified before things go overdue. No surprises.
Shop Floor TV Mode
Mount a monitor in the shop, open TV mode, walk away. The board stays live 24/7 — auto-refreshes, no login screen, no screensaver. Every operator sees what's running, what's next, and what's overdue. No more walking to the whiteboard.
