A repeatable input-to-output workflow
- 01
Provide your liftplan and loom constraints as JSON, within the eight-shaft and eight-treadle bounds.
- 02
The tool runs a bounded exact search for a tie-up and treadling that reproduce the liftplan using the fewest treadles.
- 03
You download the resulting draft and verify it against your loom before weaving.
What you receive
- Equivalent tie-up matrix
- Treadling sequence using the minimum treadles found
- A WIF-style draft for review
Supported scope and limits
- Rising-shed shaft looms only, up to eight shafts and eight treadles
- Drafts must be checked against your actual loom limits
- No live loom control or hardware connection
- Search is bounded; inputs beyond the declared size are rejected
Read the exact input profile and examples. Start with the supplied template; this release does not guess missing settings.
Turn your input into a checked artifact
Load the synthetic example to explore the format, or choose your own supported JSON file. Processing happens on this device. Your input is not uploaded. The first run downloads the processing engine.
Step 01
Load an input
Keep your original source. Unsupported inputs return an explanation. These workflows implement the stated mathematical or file-format checks; they do not establish physical performance, language quality or real-world reliability.
Step 02

Optional offline batch kit
TreadleForge automation kit
$249 one time
One-time batch automation kit: a versioned ZIP with an offline CLI runner, the TreadleForge engine module, input fixtures, a verifier, and acceptance tests for compiling liftplans into tie-ups and treadling offline. No recurring updates or support are promised.
Browser processing and result downloads above are free. The kit bundles the same core engine with an offline command-line runner, synthetic fixtures, source, checksums and acceptance tests for repeated jobs.
You pay and download on Gumroad.
Your purchase delivers the named version as a ZIP. No subscription, future updates, hosted storage or hands-on review is included. Pricing is an introductory offer experiment.
Your email app opens a draft. Do not send source files.

Before you start
Will it drive my loom?
No. It produces a draft for you to review and thread yourself; there is no loom control.
Is the treadle count truly minimal?
Within the declared eight-by-eight bounds it performs an exact search for a minimum-treadle solution.
