Crafty Amigo Is Now Crafti

In October 2026, Crafty Amigo became Crafti. The app, the team and your designs are the same. What changed is the name and the look, and we want to explain why.

A brand that grew up a little

We’ve always wanted the brand to feel approachable. Designing something you’re about to build with your own hands should feel inviting, not intimidating. But looking back, we went a bit too far: Crafty Amigo ended up feeling slightly childish, and it didn’t match what the software can actually do.

Crafti keeps the friendly spirit, and reflects how powerful the tool has become. It’s still for anyone who wants to make something. It just looks the part now.

From a hobby project to a tool for everyone

Crafty Amigo started as a hobby project, built on the side while our founder, Navid, was building a farm. It was designed around one simple question: what part fits into what? Knowing which pipe goes into which fitting, and planning a build around that, without needing professional CAD software.

Over the past two years, we decided to invest heavily, in both time and money, to make the project useful for a much broader group of people. That meant building more of everything, and building it so that anyone could use it.

Design tools anyone can use

A lot of that investment went into the interface. We wanted features that everyone could pick up, not just CAD pros: snapping parts together, measuring, cutting and drilling, grouping a design into assembly steps, and getting a parts list and cut plan at the end.

AI that helps turn an idea into a real build

Many people know what they want to make but have a hard time picturing how a project idea turns into real materials: which parts, what lengths, how it all connects. That’s why we spent a long time on AI features that help bridge that gap, from a rough idea to a design you can actually build.

Real parts for almost any project

Since then, Crafti has grown well beyond pipes. It now supports all kinds of parts: PVC and fittings, lumber, 80/20 and T-slot aluminum, black steel pipe, ductwork, hardware and more, and it still knows what fits into what.

We’ve invested in bringing in more real parts and scaling the catalog, so that whatever your project is, the parts you’re looking for are there. We’re working toward a library of up to 20,000 parts, covering the most common parts you’ll find in most hardware stores.

Making Crafti sustainable

Finally, we want to turn this project into something that can last. That’s why we started offering Crafti Pro, a plan we hope resonates with the people who use Crafti the most. You can still start designing for free, and many features work in the free version. Pro unlocks more and includes monthly AI credits.

Put together, a more capable app, a much bigger parts catalog, AI features and a Pro plan, we felt the project had outgrown its old name. Crafti fits all of it better.

Thank you for building with us, whether you’ve been here since the Crafty Amigo days or you’re just finding us now.

Frequently asked questions

Is Crafti the same app as Crafty Amigo?

Yes. It’s the same app, made by the same team, with the same account. Only the name and the look changed, along with a lot of new features. Sign in the way you always have at make.crafti.com.

Is Crafti turning into just another AI app?

No. AI is one way to design in Crafti, not a replacement for the rest. You can design however you’re comfortable: use the hands-on tools you already know, use the AI features, or combine them. Start with an AI idea and fine-tune it by hand, or start by hand and bring in AI when you get stuck. We’re not taking away the hands-on tools to make room for AI.

Are my designs lost?

No. Every design you saved is still in your account. Old links to craftyamigo.com and make.craftyamigo.com, including links to shared designs, redirect to the new addresses automatically.

I made more than three designs. What happens to them?

Nothing is deleted. You can still open and edit all of the designs you already have. The free version lets you save up to three designs, so to make new designs beyond that, you’ll need to upgrade to Crafti Pro.

Why isn’t Crafti free forever, or a one-time purchase?

We get this question a lot, and it’s a fair one. At its core, Crafti is a web-based app. It runs on servers that we pay for to keep live and maintained, and we regularly upgrade and expand the parts library. Those are ongoing costs of keeping the service going.

You can still start designing for free. Crafti Pro is $12 a month or $99 a year, which we think is very reasonable for the time and effort it takes to keep the service up for you.

Where did the tutorials and project plans go?
