Quick start

This is the fastest way to get practical value out of Patcher.

For the shortest overview of the whole ladder — browse, collect, plan, capture, share — see the Docs home.

First useful session

Go to Modules and search for the hardware you already own, want to buy, or want to compare.

Open module detail pages to check:

You can explore public data without an account, but you need one to build your own workspace. See Account and Privacy for sign-in options.

After signing up, your workspace becomes available through User Area.

Your collection is the source list for the rest of the app.

Once modules are in your collection, they become available for:

Create a rack when you want to test fit, compare layouts, or document an existing case.

You can:

add modules from your collection
move modules visually
duplicate modules
replace modules with blank panels for spacing
undo an edit that did not land well
run rack analysis — power, function, layout, and signal — before committing to a layout

Create a patch when you want a reusable memory of a session, not just a temporary note.

Use patches to save:

Repeated copies of the same module stay distinct as numbered instances, which matters when a patch uses more than one copy of the same hardware.

Patches also expose a graph view, a fullscreen mode, and a PNG export when you want to share the layout as an image.
