Questions about StellKlar.
From the first floor plan to a saved project. Here are the most important answers.
Getting started
What is StellKlar?
StellKlar is a floor-plan and moving planner for Mac and iPad. Import a PDF or draw your own plan, then place furniture using its actual dimensions. An additional 3D preview helps you understand the space.
Which devices is the app for?
The native launch is planned for Mac and iPad. No iPhone or Windows app is offered here. Binding system requirements will be published with the approved App Store release.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
The native apps do not require a StellKlar account. You can plan offline with PDFs and project files available locally. App Store downloads and any cloud file provider you choose may need a connection.
Floor plans and furniture
Can I draw a floor plan without a PDF?
Yes. Choose 'Draw your own floor plan', enter the plan area's dimensions in metres and add rectangular rooms. Draw them or enter width, depth and height numerically. Add walls, doors, windows and furniture as needed. A drawn plan uses metric dimensions and needs no PDF calibration. Check important measurements on site.
How do I make a PDF plan accurate to scale?
Import the plan and mark a line whose real length you know. Enter that length and verify the result against a second known measurement. Accuracy depends on the PDF and your calibration; check critical dimensions on site.
Can I use individual pages from a property brochure?
Yes. Select the PDF pages you need and give them names such as 'Ground floor' or 'Bedroom'. Rooms and furniture belong to their respective plan page.
Can I enter my own furniture dimensions?
Yes. Width, depth, height, position and rotation can be entered numerically. The sides of L- and U-shaped sofas and corner cabinets can be adjusted individually. Check the actual dimensions, including any protruding parts.
What does the 3D preview show?
It displays the rooms, walls, openings and furniture you drew using your entered dimensions. Room and furniture heights also drive ceiling warnings. Importing a PDF does not automatically create a fully measured 3D model.
What is the difference between the grid and snapping?
The visible floor grid helps with orientation. Object snapping aligns to existing points and edges. Grid snapping is a separate option that aligns objects to grid positions. Showing the grid alone does not force furniture onto it.
How do I switch the Hand tool off?
Right-click the plan, or click it with two fingers on the trackpad: one click activates Hand, the next restores the selection arrow. This means a secondary click, not a double-tap. Right-drag pans without turning Hand off. Scrolling over sidebars and furniture menus scrolls only the menu, not the plan.
How do I change the app language?
Open Settings > App language and choose German, English, Italian, French, Spanish or Portuguese (Portugal). System language follows your device. Save your plan and restart StellKlar. Your own project, room and furniture names are not translated automatically.
Files and privacy
Where are my projects saved?
The native StellKlar apps save projects locally and do not upload them to StellKlar servers. You choose where to save. Your iCloud folders, other file providers or device backups may create additional copies.
Can I share a plan?
You can export a PDF or PNG and share it yourself. These exports are views, not editable StellKlar projects. Check for personal details or an apartment address before sharing.
Can I switch between Mac and iPad?
Project transfer between Mac and iPad is planned. Direct transfer and AirDrop must be approved on real devices before release. Seamless, already approved device switching is not promised yet.
Does StellKlar save every change automatically?
Save your changes deliberately as a project file and keep backups of important plans. Automatic lossless recovery after a crash or forced quit is not currently promised.
Purchase and availability
Where can I download StellKlar?
StellKlar is being prepared for the Mac App Store and the App Store on iPad. There is no purchase or download link on this website while approval is pending. Verified Store links will be added once both versions are available.
Is one purchase planned for Mac and iPad?
Yes. A paid app without a subscription, with one purchase for Mac and iPad, is planned. This depends on final App Store configuration and approval. The launch price and binding feature list will appear in the App Store.
Why is the website stellklar.app?
stellklar.app is the central address for the app, blog and FAQs. Other StellKlar domains are intended to redirect here. They do not represent different app versions or accounts.
