Pro unlocks larger boards, printable PDFs, unlimited saved projects, and high-resolution exports.

Peyote Studio turns your bead design into a complete, ready-to-stitch pattern. Draw on a bead-accurate grid — or start from a photo — and the app automatically generates everything you need: • Corrected chart that reads in the exact order you stitch • Compressed stitch order — follow along and check off each section as you go • Materials list — beads per row, per repeat, totals, and a per-color count • Front view and a print / PDF sheet you can save or print Built for peyote stitch: flat (even/odd count) and tubular (rope) work, with automatic increase/decrease detection and gentle warnings when a shape needs a closer look. What makes it different: it doesn't just show a chart — it works out the actual stitching order for you, which most bead-charting tools don't. • Works fully offline. Your designs stay on your device. • No account, no ads, no tracking. Free. • English and Japanese. Note: "Peyote stitch" is a beadwork technique. Please use only images you have the right to, and respect the cultural context of the craft (shown in the app).
