StitchBuddy Lite vs Thread Colour Picker

Keep your knitting and crochet projects, patterns, and yarn stash in one simple app. This app is for makers who are tired of juggling notes, photos, and PDF readers. Create a project, attach your pattern file, and track every row from cast‑on to bind‑off—all in one place. When you start a new project, you can import a pattern (PDF or image) directly from your device. Your pattern stays linked to that project, alongside notes, photos, and yarn details, so you always know what you’re working on and how far you’ve come. Switch to Work Mode while you’re stitching: use a large, easy‑to‑tap row/round counter (with undo and multiple counters per project) to keep your place, and jot quick notes for modifications or sizing changes. Build a yarn stash you’ll actually use by logging your yarns with brand, color, weight, quantity, and more. When inspiration hits, you can see what’s already in your stash and pick the right yarn for your next project. Everything is saved locally on your device—no account, no logins, and it works offline. Features Project-based pattern import: Create a project and import its pattern as a PDF or image from your device; the pattern lives with that project. Project tracker: Track project status (planned / in progress / finished), size, yarn used, notes, and progress photos. Work Mode: Use large row/round counters, multiple counters per project, decrement and undo, repeat counter, and quick notes while you knit or crochet. Yarn stash manager: Record brand, name, color, weight, quantity, needle/hook size, fiber, and notes so you always know what’s in your stash. Offline & private: All data is stored on your device in a local database—no accounts, no cloud sync.

Thread Colour Picker helps stitchers and embroiderers quickly find DMC thread shades that closely match colours in your photos. Pick an image from your library, pinch to zoom for precision, then tap anywhere to sample. Instantly see the hex value and the five closest thread brand matches — complete with code, name, and a colour swatch. Save favourites with a tap and export a clean, printable PDF of your swatches, optionally including a thumbnail of your sampled photo for easy reference. Use the inventory section to keep track of your threads and add custom entries including pictures and notes. Designed to be simple Thread Colour Picker works entirely on‑device. Your photos never leave your iPhone, iPad, and there’s no account, sign‑in, or analytics.
