The promise
A tool you can simply use.
No onboarding maze, locked features, or hidden storage model. Just a focused tool with clear ownership of your work.
No registration
Open the editor and start building. There is no account to create or sign in to.
Your project stays local
Project data and autosaves remain in your browser instead of going to a cloud.
Readable JSON files
Download an open, plain-text project file that you can inspect and keep forever.
Made for real projects
More than a picture of a dial.
Define the value system once, then build a complete design from reusable vector layers. Every change stays editable and every preview updates live.
Precise ranges
Build circular or rounded-square value paths with linear, logarithmic, or custom mapping.
A real layer workflow
Combine ticks, numbers, arcs, labels, needles, shapes, lines, and Lucide icons.
Visual editing
Adjust properties and drag editing handles while the fitted canvas updates immediately.
Useful exports
Keep the editable JSON source or export finished artwork as SVG, PNG, and PDF.
Editable examples
Open complete projects, inspect how they work, and turn them into your own design.
Community translations
The language catalogues are open for contributors to translate and improve.

Built around the way gauges work.
Shared Ranges keep ticks, numbers, arcs, labels, and needles aligned. Layer controls provide precision, while on-canvas handles make experimentation feel immediate.
Explore every layer typeRebuilt from scratch
A 2019 desktop idea, reimagined for the web.
Gauge Generator began as a PC application in 2019. This edition keeps the original goal—making custom gauges approachable—but rewrites the project for the browser with a broader layer system, live editing, modern exports, and a cleaner project format.
It remains a small independent project: practical, transparent, and built for people who would rather make something than create another account.
Open source by default
Inspect the code. Keep your files. Help shape what comes next.
The editor, documentation, and language catalogues are developed in public. You can report an issue, improve a translation, add a new language, or contribute code.
Your next gauge can start right now.
Open an example, move a few layers, and export the result. There is nothing to install, nothing to sign up for, and nothing to pay for.
