Getting Started

Go from zero to managing your first subnet in under 5 minutes.

1. Create Your Account

Go to app.ipcraft.io/login and enter your email address. You'll receive a magic link to sign in — no password needed (the link expires after 15 minutes). You can also sign in with Continue with Google. On your first login, an organization is automatically created for you.

2. Create a Folder

Folders are top-level containers that organize your subnets. Think of them as categories: "Production", "Development", "Office", etc.

Click Subnets in the sidebar, then the Folder button in the toolbar to create one inline. You can also create a folder from within the subnet create dialog — click the + button next to the Folder dropdown, type a name, and hit Enter. Folders are optional; subnets can exist without one.

3. Add Your First Subnet

Click Subnet in the toolbar and enter your network in CIDR notation:

IPCraft automatically detects parent/child relationships. If you add 10.0.1.0/24 after 10.0.0.0/16, the /24 will nest under the /16 in the tree.

4. Manage IP Addresses

Click a subnet in the tree to see all its IP addresses. For subnets /22 and smaller, every usable IP is shown, with available addresses highlighted in green.

5. Split Subnets

Hover over any subnet in the tree and click the scissors icon. Choose how many parts to split into (2, 4, 8, up to 64). The original subnet is replaced with the new smaller subnets.

Splitting deletes the original subnet and all its IP assignments. Make sure to export or note any assignments before splitting.

6. Search

Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K) anywhere in the app to open the search palette. Search by subnet CIDR, IP address, hostname, or description.
