### Pixel Canvas & Drawing

Design stunning bead patterns on a fully customizable pixel canvas — up to 280x280 cells.

- **Multiple drawing modes**: Single-cell fill, rectangle batch draw, flood fill, eraser, color picker, and move tool
- **Mirror modes**: Left-right and top-bottom symmetry drawing — create symmetric patterns in half the time
- **Multi-select mode**: Select multiple cells at once for batch fill or erase
- **Auto Draw**: Import a reference image and automatically convert it into a pixel bead pattern
- **Noise optimization**: Intelligently detect and merge similar colors to reduce bead variety and simplify your project
- **Layer management**: Stack multiple layers for complex pattern design
- **Undo / Redo**: Unlimited undo steps — create freely without worry
- **Coordinate system**: Display row and column coordinates to precisely locate every bead
- **Grid customization**: Set bold grid intervals for easy bead counting

### Charts & Symbol System

- **Knitting & Crochet Symbol Handbook**: 500+ professional symbols with Chinese/Japanese/English trilingual reference
- **Custom symbols**: Combine base symbols and decorators to create your own unique symbols
- **Text charts**: Add text annotations directly on the canvas
- **Crochet chart creation**: Supports circle, square, ellipse, spiral, and other shape elements
- **Shared charts**: Browse and use chart templates shared by other users (rabbit, tiger, dragon, snowflake, and more)

### Bead Counter

A smart counting tool designed specifically for the bead-placing process — never lose count again.

- **Row & bead dual-axis counting**: Track both current row number and bead count per row simultaneously
- **Change mode**: Set initial bead count, trigger rows, bead change amount, and repeat times — get automatic prompts for increase/decrease operations
- **Stable mode**: Fixed bead count mode, ideal for regular patterns
- **Auto count**: Set a countdown interval to trigger counting automatically — hands-free operation
- **Chart sync**: When the row count changes, the chart automatically scrolls to the corresponding row — what you count is what you see
- **Operation log**: Full record of every add/subtract action, with one-tap clear
- **Vibration alerts**: Subtle phone vibration when a row goal is reached or a bead change is needed

### Project Management & Analytics

- **Full project lifecycle**: Track every project from preparation through in-progress to completion
- **Multiple charts per project**: Link multiple bead charts to a single project for complex creations

### Data Management
