SpriteWood is the all-in-one toolkit for Fuse Beads / Perler / Hama / Artkal crafters. Pixelate any image into a bead pattern, convert between five palette systems, track your stash, and build shopping lists — all on-device. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Image → Bead Pattern: Import a photo, choose a 14×14 / 29×29 / 58×58 / 87×87 grid, and pick "Cartoon" (dominant-color BFS) or "Realistic" (average-color) pixelation. • Cross-Palette Conversion: Switch a pattern between MARD / COCO / Manman / Panpan / Mixiaowo using a 290+ row mapping matrix. No more guessing equivalents. • Inventory Tracking: Record bead codes, quantities (accurate or estimated), and brand labels. Inventory is palette-aware. • Shopping List: Compare project demand against your stash and export to CSV — or jump straight to Amazon / Taobao with one tap. • Material Library: Save processed patterns to a private on-device library for reuse. WHY SPRITEWOOD • One-time purchase. No IAP. No ads. No subscription. • Privacy first: All image processing happens on-device. Your photos never leave your phone. • iPad-ready: NavigationSplitView three-column layout for productivity; smooth pinch-zoom on iPhone. • Bilingual (Simplified Chinese + English) with native Dark Mode. WHO IT'S FOR • Pixel art & retro gaming enthusiasts mapping screenshots to Perler. • Rave / Kandi crafters needing fast pattern turnaround. • Hardcore mini-bead (2.6mm) creators juggling 100+ shade gradients. ROADMAP (v1.1+) AR translucent overlay alignment, brush/eraser/eyedropper edit mode, bead-along gamified progress mode, full Perler / Hama / Artkal international palette expansion, anonymous community sharing. If you've ever wrangled bead palettes in a spreadsheet or held your phone over a pegboard squinting at colors — this is built for you.
