StitchTracker is your calm, capable companion for cross stitching on iPad and iPhone. Import OXS cross-stitch patterns and mark every stitch as you go — full crosses, half, three-quarter and petite stitches, backstitch outlines, beads, and other ornaments. Which pattern files can I use? StitchTracker opens .oxs charts (Open Cross Stitch — an open, widely supported pattern format) and .stitchx archives exported from the app. It works from the pattern data itself — every stitch, colour and backstitch — which is what makes exact counts, per-colour progress, part stitches and timelapse possible. Many designers include an .oxs file with the pattern or send one on request, and most desktop cross-stitch design programs can save a chart as .oxs. The built-in demo pattern lets you try everything before you import anything. Designed for real stitching sessions See a clear, easy-to-scan thread list with per-colour progress rings and exactly how many stitches remain in each colour. Park markers show where you left off, and an optional gentle water reminder helps you stay refreshed during longer sessions. Watch your progress come alive Your stitching is recorded automatically as a timelapse trail. Replay your project, scrub through its history, and export an MP4 video in portrait, square, or landscape format — up to 4K on compatible iPads. Statistics for each pattern show your stitching time, pace, longest streak and frogged stitches, and they update as you stitch. Celebrate every milestone Earn pixel-art badges for stitching streaks, colour milestones, and finished projects. Finish a colour for a small burst of confetti, and reach 100% to enjoy confetti and a fanfare. The Year in Stitches recap brings together your progress across all projects. Your patterns, your choice StitchTracker works offline, with no account, sign-up, or third-party tracking. Your patterns are stored on your device. If you choose iCloud sync, you can keep selected patterns and their progress up to date across your iPad and iPhone.
