Bead Duck is a mobile workspace for fuse bead creators who want to plan before they build. Instead of acting like a simple pattern generator, it focuses on draft preparation, palette planning, board arrangement, and cleaner project organization. Import a photo, turn it into a bead draft, adjust local color areas, fine-tune the grid, and review bead counts before you start. You can prepare circular or square board layouts, organize palette ideas, save multiple draft versions, and export preview-ready layouts that are easier to review before real assembly. This makes the app better suited for creators who want a planning workflow, not just a template result. If your process includes testing colors, comparing layouts, checking quantities, and refining drafts before placing beads, Bead Duck is positioned as a creation studio rather than another generic bead pattern app. Some advanced features require Pro.
