BeadFlow is an offline-first bead pattern generator, editor, and physical assembly tool. Every core creation feature works on the device. Start in several ways: - Import a photo and control canvas size, color count, dithering, crop mode, and background removal - Turn text into pixel lettering, signs, and labels - Generate high-contrast bead QR codes from a URL or text - Draw freely on a blank canvas - Browse built-in offline templates and copy them into editable projects - Use randomized themes, sizes, color limits, and symmetry rules for local practice The full canvas editor includes: - Pencil, eraser, fill, picker, line, rectangle, circle, stamp, and mirror tools - Numeric canvas sizes from 1 to 512 cells, plus pan, zoom, and double-tap fit - Selection, copy, cut, paste, delete, duplicate, and directional nudging - Real independent layers with visibility, locking, opacity, duplication, reordering, merging, and deletion - Grid, coordinates, bead codes, symmetry drawing, and palette replacement When the design is ready: - Count total beads, colors, reserve quantities, and estimated boards - Build by color, row, or 30×30 board area - Export PNG images, PDF sheets, CSV material lists, and editable BeadFlow project files - Export and restore a complete local backup Projects, preferences, and photo conversion are processed locally by default. BeadFlow includes no advertising SDK or third-party analytics SDK, and it does not automatically upload your designs.
