StitchChart reads the cross-stitch chart you already own โ€” a PDF from a designer, a photo of a paper chart, or an .oxs file โ€” and turns it into something you can actually keep your place in. Import it, check the grid, and start marking. Every stitch you complete stays marked, for as many months as the piece takes. READS YOUR CHART, ON YOUR DEVICE โ€ข Symbol charts, color-block charts, and photographed paper charts โ€ข Finds the grid, the symbols, and the thread key, including DMC numbers โ€ข Everything is read on your device. Your charts are never uploaded and never leave your iPhone or iPad. MARK EVERY KIND OF STITCH โ€ข Tap a stitch, or press and hold to drag across a whole run โ€ข Full stitches, quarter, half and three-quarter fractionals, backstitch outlines, and French knots โ€ข A plain drag pans the chart, so you can move around and stitch with the same finger without marking by accident โ€ข Isolate one color at a time when you are working confetti KEEP THE COUNT HONEST โ€ข Stitches remaining, per color and overall โ€ข Park the threads you have set aside โ€ข Back up your progress to a file whenever you like โ€” it is your work PICK UP ON EITHER DEVICE Progress syncs through your own iCloud account, so a chart you started on your iPhone is waiting on your iPad. Sync only ever adds completed stitches, so nothing you have marked can be removed by another device. YOUR WORK STAYS YOURS StitchChart has no pattern library and no catalog. You bring a chart you bought or own; we never host, distribute, or resell anyone's design. And the promise that matters most: the paywall gates starting something new, never continuing something you have already begun. A chart you have started stays fully usable โ€” marking, progress, all of it โ€” with or without a subscription. Months of work are never held hostage. STITCHCHART PREMIUM โ€ข Unlimited projects โ€ข Fractional stitches and backstitch outlines โ€ข iPhone and iPad sync through your own iCloud โ€ข Thread parking $29.99 per year or $12.99 per month, each with a 7-day free trial, or Forever Access as a single $49.99 payment that never renews. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
