## What is KumiBead?

Plan the bead order for all eight strands, then keep your place while you make the braid. KumiBead connects a visual design or strand sequence to loading lists, saved preparation progress and guided moves on your kumihimo disk.

Made for 8-strand beaded Kongo Gumi on a 32-slot round kumihimo disk, with uniform seed beads.

DESIGN, LOAD, BRAID
• Recolor a pattern and turn its cylindrical preview to explore every side.
• Work in the Visual Pattern Designer or edit individual strand sequences.
• See exact bead counts and ordered loading instructions for all eight strands.
• Load one bead or a same-color group, enter an exact count and undo a step.
• Save your loading and braiding progress. Pause, check your physical position and continue from your recorded place.
• Keep notes and project photos, or make a fresh project from a saved recipe. Existing projects retain their original instructions when you edit a design.

START FREE
Enjoy eight starter patterns with four colorways each, recoloring, previews, bead counts, included-pattern loading instructions and Learn tutorials. Save three custom experiments and keep one active starter project; complete or archive it to free the slot. Try both designers and keep your custom preview before deciding to upgrade. Free features remain available indefinitely.

KUMIBEAD PRO — UNLOCK FOREVER
One Lifetime Pro purchase unlocks all 24 core patterns and 96 colorways, the full Visual and Sequence Designers, custom-pattern loading instructions and project creation, Pattern Lab, Colorway Explorer, unlimited designs and projects, advanced editing and target-length calculations, A4/US Letter PDF export, clean preview images and .kumi import/export.

Design something you love first. Choose Pro when you're ready to make it. Lifetime Pro permanently includes the complete core toolset and core library, with their improvements. No subscription or free trial. Optional future themed collections may be separate one-time purchases; they will never be required for core Pro. Apple shows your local price before purchase. Restore purchases in Settings.

YOUR MAKING WORKSPACE
Use English, German, French, Spanish or Italian, with light and dark appearance. Choose mm, cm or inches. Projects stay on your device: no app account, ads or automatic cloud synchronization. Existing progress, notes, photos, text instructions and whole-library backup/restore stay accessible without Pro. Restoring a purchase restores access, not your projects; keep a library backup when moving devices. Exports and backups are not encrypted.

Previews are schematic. The app supports one documented braid direction and records your actions; it cannot detect your physical braid position. Bead finish, tension and finished length vary. Use your own measurements for calibration.
