Genie Reader

Genie Reader is the ultimate companion for anyone who creates string portraits. Designed by an experienced Artist who knows exactly how frustrating it is to lose your place in massive template printouts and sequences, this app reads your pattern line-by-line with perfect color guidance, audio cues, and smart pause/resume — so you can weave faster, more accurately, and without ever losing your spot again.

Key Features

Smart color detection – instantly shows Previous, Current, and Next color with large, high-contrast buttons
Audio beep before the last loop of every color section (so you never miss a color change)
Automatic pause at every color change – giving you time to switch threads safely
Fully adjustable reading speed (from super-fast to very slow)
Resume exactly where you left off – even after closing the app or switching files
Works with any text-based pattern (supports comma and semicolon separators)
Clean, distraction-free interface designed specifically for long weaving sessions
One-time purchase – pay once, own forever. No subscriptions, no ads, no nonsense.

Perfect for

All kinds of string portrait projects
Anyone who gets overwhelmed by huge sequences and constant color changes

How it works

Save your pattern as a simple text file
Load the file into Genie Reader
Press Start – the app reads each line aloud, highlights the current color, and beeps before the final loop of every color block
Pause or resume anytime – your exact position is always saved

No more memorizing the upcoming loops in your head. No more losing your place after a phone call. No more missed color changes. Just pure, focused, joyful portrait construction.
Genie Reader was born from real frustration on real projects. Every feature was built because the developer needed it himself while weaving massive portraits. Now it’s yours.
Buy once. Create String Portraits peacefully forever.
One-time purchase – unlimited use – lifetime updates
