Your cross-stitch, beautifully kept. Uzora brings your chart onto iPhone and iPad, lets you mark each stitch as you go, and always remembers where you left off — so the needle knows exactly where to return. EVERY STITCH, FAITHFULLY DRAWN Half and quarter stitches, petites and beads appear right where the designer placed them. If a file can't be read faithfully, Uzora tells you honestly instead of guessing. PARKING, BUILT IN Park your needle mid-row and Uzora remembers where every colour left off — the confetti-stitcher's favourite technique, right on the chart. NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE Mark stitches with a tap, or hold to paint a whole run. Your progress saves itself as you stitch, survives interruptions, and can be exported as a backup whenever you'd like your own copy. STAY IN THE RHYTHM Daily streaks, session stats, gentle goals and a projected finish date turn a long WIP into steady, satisfying momentum. See just how much you stitched today, this week and all time. FLOSS TOOLS INCLUDED Convert between DMC, Anchor, Madeira, Cosmo, Sullivans and Gamma, and see per-colour skein estimates for your chart. WORKS WITH YOUR PATTERNS Import OXS and XSD charts, plus supported SAGA and PDF files, straight from the Files app. Uzora shows what it read before you start, and reports anything unsupported honestly. WHAT'S FREE, AND WHAT COSTS EXTRA The basics are free, for good: up to five active patterns at a time, plus one PDF chart import and one photo chart every month — three of each in your first month. • Unlimited — one purchase, no subscription. It lifts every limit and supports the project, and with an account it works on all your devices at once. The price is shown in the app before you buy; payment is charged once to your Apple ID. YOURS ALONE Uzora is local-first: your patterns and progress stay on your device. An account is optional — it carries your purchase and progress between your own devices, and opens the community — and there are no ads. Privacy-preserving analytics is on from a fresh install, stays off for anyone upgrading who never turned it on, and can be switched off in Settings at any time.
