LayerMate indexes every STL, OBJ, 3MF, and G-code file on your drive — real thumbnails, true duplicate detection, tags, and a print queue — without uploading a single file anywhere.
Not a slicer, not a cloud service — a fast local index of the files you already have.
Matches on file contents, not just filenames — so "dragon_v2 (1).stl" and "dragon_final_FINAL.stl" get caught even when nothing about the name matches.
Embedded previews from 3MF and G-code files where they exist, and a real software-rendered preview generated locally when they don't.
Queue what you want to print, then mark it printed once it's done. Two lists, always in sync with the rest of your library.
LayerMate runs entirely on your machine. If you turn on sharing to browse your library from another device on your network, it's password-protected and off by default.
Every file is parsed in an isolated process. A corrupt or oversized model gets skipped and logged — the rest of a 40,000-file scan keeps going.
See your whole library grouped by designer, with the option to name creators yourself when a file only carries an ID.
Real screenshots of LayerMate running against a real library — no mockups.
One payment, whatever amount feels fair — $10 minimum. Every future update is included, forever.
Choose your price →No — the app itself runs standalone. An account is only needed to buy it and download updates from here.
No. Scanning, thumbnails, and search all happen locally on your machine. The only network activity LayerMate does on its own is checking for app updates.
A license to install and use LayerMate, plus every update released afterwards — no separate upgrade fee, no subscription.
Email support@layermate.app and we'll take a look — refunds aren't automatic, but every request gets a fair, individual review.
