Keep your colors, your cut lengths, and your current move together while you make the common eight-strand round Kumihimo disk braid. The disk on screen follows your braid. It tracks where every cord actually is, so the diagram always matches the disk in front of you — including the halfway position with three cords at the top, the one braiders use to hold their place by hand. FOLLOW THE MOVES • Each move names the cord by color: "move the Teal cord", not "the lower-left cord" • See where the mark on your own disk should be pointing right now • Lower-left up, upper-right down, then a quarter turn • A checkpoint saves after every move; undo one, or reset • The screen stays awake while your hands are busy PLAN YOUR COLORS • Choose from twelve named cord colors, or start from the Sunset, Tide or Checker presets • See what your arrangement makes, and the order the cords lay into the braid • Save separate projects and duplicate one to try another setup CUT ONCE • Work in inches or centimeters and switch without changing the stored plan • Adjust the cord multiplier and the finishing allowance • Get the cut length for each cord, and totals grouped by color The same eight-strand disk braid is used for satin cord bracelets, paracord keychains and lanyards. MADE FOR THE WORKBENCH • Notes for cord, findings and tension • iPhone and iPad • No account, ads, analytics, tracking, or internet connection. Your projects never leave the device. This app covers the common round eight-strand disk workflow. It is not a bead-pattern designer, a photo-realistic finished-braid preview, a marudai guide, or a universal Kumihimo pattern generator. It names the resulting pattern only for the color layouts with a documented result, and tells you to braid a sample for anything else. Material use varies with cord, beads, tension, and structure. The estimate is a starting point, not a guarantee. Make a short sample and adjust the multiplier before cutting valuable material.
