Stitchwork: Cross Stitch Chart

The cross-stitch tracker for the PDF patterns you already own. Your first 3 patterns are free — then buy once. No subscription, ever.

Stitchwork turns your pattern into a tappable, zoomable chart you mark off stitch by stitch, right through to the last one. And it never loses a stitch.

Import a pattern PDF (or a photo of a chart) and Stitchwork lays a grid over it so every cell becomes tappable. Tap or drag to mark stitches done and watch your completion climb in real time. Your progress syncs across your iPhone and iPad through your own private iCloud — stitch on the couch with your iPad, check a color at the store on your phone, and pick up right where you left off.

NEVER LOSE A STITCH
• Per-stitch iCloud sync built to merge, not overwrite — edits from two devices combine, even offline
• Handoff between iPhone and iPad — carry on at the exact spot in the chart you were looking at
• Your patterns and progress live in your own private iCloud; we never see them
• Export any pattern as a backup file you can re-import — your work is never locked in
• No account to create, nothing to log into

MADE FOR REAL CHARTS
• Imports modern vector pattern PDFs — the grid snaps to your chart automatically
• Scanned and printed charts too — photograph or scan a page and line the grid up
• Opens .oxs pattern files as well as PDFs — WinStitch, MacStitch, FlossCross and Stitch Fiddle exports
• Any pattern works: if auto-detect isn't perfect, just drag the grid to fit
• Smooth on huge charts — 100,000+ stitches, fluid zoom and pan
• Multi-page PDFs stitched into one continuous chart
• See your finished size before you start — Stitchwork reads the fabric count from your chart and works out the inches and centimeters, on whatever fabric you're actually using

EVERY KIND OF STITCH
• Full stitches, plus half, quarter, and three-quarter fractional stitches
• Back-stitch outlines you can tap to track
• Block-fill and a quick-park mode for fast marking
• Parking-method support for confident colorwork
• Mark an area for frogging, then clear it in one step when you've unpicked it

FIND YOUR PLACE
• Row and column numbers down the edges, with a live position readout
• A counting assistant — tap a landmark, tap where you're going, read off the count
• Center marker and crosshair for lining up on fabric
• Rotate the chart to match how you're holding your work

TRACK EVERYTHING
• Live completion percentage — always know exactly how far you've come
• A finished-picture preview — your whole chart rendered in its thread colors, before you've stitched it
• Per-symbol counts — see exactly how many of each symbol are left
• Tap a symbol to highlight every cell that uses it
• A Progress tab that rolls up every project with pace and time estimates
• A home-screen widget with your current pattern's progress
• A stitch journal with your daily history, and a Year in Stitches you can share
• A library that stays tidy — in progress, finished and wishlist, with sorting and bulk actions

YOUR FLOSS, ORGANIZED
• Automatic floss list — every DMC color in your pattern
• A full floss stash: what you own, what you still need, and a cross-project shopping list
• Skein estimates and DMC-to-Anchor / Madeira conversions
• A searchable catalog of 450+ DMC shades

FAIR PRICING
• A one-time purchase — no subscription, ever
• Your first 3 patterns are free — then unlock unlimited with a single one-time purchase
• Your patterns are always yours — nothing is ever deleted, upgrade or not

Built by a stitcher who wanted a great cross-stitch tracker on iPhone and iPad — and decided to make one. Actively maintained, and shaped by what cross-stitchers actually ask for.

Happy stitching!
