Plugins & companions

What plugs into MarkupClaw, and what each one is for

MarkupClaw is the host: the drawing surface, the markup model, the PDF read and write. Everything below is a separate program with one job. Each page says what it does, what state it is in, and what the app does when it is not there.

Three kinds of thing plug in. Editor plugins ship inside the app (the Seal Maker is the first). Companion programs are separate installs or services MarkupClaw calls. Services are hosted things we would run for you — none of those exist yet, and they are listed as such.

Companion programs

Companion · detail library

DetailClaw

The detail library: 929 starter details with DXF and previews, served to MarkupClaw's picker.

Partly shipped Companion · document review

PDFWhisperer

Document review: compare a contractor submittal against the contract documents and land every deviation on the sheet as a reviewable markup.

In development Companion · model seed

IFC Coordinator

Synthesise geometry and IFC entities from a PDF or DWG where none exist — a model seed for CAD and BIM tools.

In development Companion · Revit plug-in

Revit Whisperer

The redline round-trip: Revit families and detail assemblies into MarkupClaw, edits back to Revit.

In development Secondary product · interoperability

Tool Set Bridge

Read and write the tool sets, stamps and profiles of other markup software, and drive it from an agent, so a team can adopt MarkupClaw without abandoning its setup.

Services in design

Nothing here is built. They are listed so you can tell us which one matters.

Live SessionsSend a link; the recipient opens the marked-up sheet in a browser, reads layers, replies. No install, no account. The desktop app keeps the file.
Cloud tool + profile storageYour tool sets, seals, stamps, keyboard profiles and layouts follow you to any machine and can be shared to a team. Files stay local.
Procore connectorPull drawings and RFIs from a Procore project; push sealed deliverables and markups back.

In the app today
