Building a pedalboard? You're in the right place.
Rig Planner makes it easy to design your perfect board before you buy a
single cable. Drag pedals around to scale, plug in your signal chain with
a tap, and share the finished rig with your bandmates — all from your
phone.
WORKS WITH ANY PEDAL YOU OWN!
Boutique builds, vintage classics, that weird DIY fuzz you etched in your
kitchen — Rig Planner welcomes them all. Pick from thousands of pedals in
the built-in library, or snap a photo of any pedal and add it yourself.
The app cleans up the background for you, right on your device.
DESIGN TO REAL-WORLD SCALE
• Pick your board — the most popular boards are built in, or you can pick a custom size for your garage made 2x4 build.
• Drop pedals down at their true size, in inches. If it fits in the app,
it fits in real life!
• Rotate, nudge, and pack the board like a puzzle. Switch board styles to
match your real-world setup.
SIGNAL CHAIN, SORTED
• Tap a pedal, pick a jack, tap the next pedal. That's it.
• Cables route themselves around the board so things stay tidy.
• Missed a connection? Rig Planner flags it so you don't discover it
mid-set.
• Hook up your guitar, amp, and FX loop with side-of-board endpoints.
DIY AND BEGINNER FRIENDLY
New to pedalboards? Welcome. Rig Planner is built to be approachable — no
jargon walls, no signup gates, no "pro tier." Experimenting with a hand-
wired one-off, building your very first board, or designing a fly rig for
tour? Same friendly workflow.
KEEP AS MANY RIGS AS YOU WANT
• Gigging board, practice rig, dream build — save them all.
• Share a snapshot of any rig in two taps.
• Export a rig file to back it up or move it to a new phone.
• Light mode and dark mode, both gorgeous.
FREE FOREVER
Rig Planner is free to download and free to use. No premium tier, no
upsells, no account required.
ZERO DATA COLLECTION
Everything lives on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. The
app works fully offline after install — the only network calls are
optional ones you explicitly trigger (like searching for a pedal photo).
OPEN SOURCE
Released under the GNU AGPL-3.0. The source is public, the build is
reproducible, and the project is committed to staying free and open.
BUILT FOR PLAYERS, ON A PHONE
Mobile-first and thumb-friendly. Plan your board from the couch, the
green room, or the line at your favorite music store.
