Why I'm Building Sketrix

It Started with Frustration

As a master electrician and vocational trainer, I’ve been working with ECAD software for years. And for years, the same problems have been driving me crazy: expensive licenses, Windows-only support, and bloated interfaces that confuse more than they help.

The Mac Moment

I use a Mac for both personal and professional work. And every time I needed to draw a schematic, it meant: boot up Windows. Open Parallels. Wait. There has to be a better way.

The Idea

What if there was an ECAD app that actually felt like a real Mac app? Native. Fast. Intuitive. Without all the bloat nobody needs — but with everything practitioners actually use.

Sketrix Is Born

That’s how Sketrix came to be. A SwiftUI app, built on Apple Silicon, with a clear focus: professional schematics for people who work with them — not for people who sell software.

Who Is It For?

  • Trainees who need an affordable solution
  • Small businesses that can’t afford enterprise software
  • Mac users who finally want to work natively

The beta launches in summer 2026. Stay tuned.
