Learn to needlepoint, one stitch at a time. Needlepoint Studio teaches you the whole stitch library with animated, step-by-step lessons. Every stitch draws itself on the canvas, stroke by stroke, with a needle that shows exactly where the yarn goes. Play it, pause it, step through a single stitch, or slow it to half speed until it clicks. No other needlepoint app teaches this way. FOLLOW A GUIDED PATH Start with First Stitches, free for everyone. Then work through curated lessons in Beautiful Backgrounds, Texture Sampler, and Decorative Accents. Each path builds real skills in the order a teacher would give them. KEEP YOUR WHOLE CRAFT IN ONE STUDIO • Track every canvas from "kitted up" to finished, with progress photos and a before/after compare. • Time your stitching sessions and watch your streak and weekly minutes add up. A running timer stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Give a canvas a finish-by date and see, in plain language, whether you're on pace to make it. • Organize your fiber stash and stretcher bars: brand, color, count, and how much you have left. • Flag what you're low on, then take the whole To Buy list to the shop as a shopping list, so you never buy the same thread twice. KNOW WHAT IT'S ALL WORTH See the value of your collection at a glance, and export an insurance-ready CSV or PDF report: proof of everything you own, ready when you need it. CELEBRATE EVERY FINISH Finished canvases join a gallery grouped by year. Share a single project's before-and-after, or a whole year of stitching, as a card made for the feed. YOURS, EVERYWHERE, FOREVER Everything backs up privately through your own iCloud account. Get a new iPhone and your studio is already there. Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, including a new stitch to learn every day. Log a session with one tap or by asking Siri, and jump to any project or stitch from Spotlight search. GO PRO YOUR WAY: SUBSCRIBE, OR PAY ONCE AND OWN IT FOREVER Studio Pro unlocks the full stitch library, all learning paths, unlimited projects, finish-by pacing, collection and shopping-list export, the Year-in-Review card, and nine extra studio themes. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription (yearly starts with a 3-day free trial), or make a single lifetime purchase that's yours forever. Every plan works on all your devices and shares with your household through Family Sharing. Your data is never locked behind Pro: everything you've made stays visible, editable, and synced even if a subscription ends.

CanvasMark

CanvasMark is a private needlepoint canvas session map for stitchers who work from a real physical canvas. Import your own canvas photo, divide the surface into zones, track stitch and fiber notes, park thread positions, resume exactly where you left off, and prepare a clear finisher handoff when the piece is ready. Everything is designed around your own work-in-progress: local canvas photos, manual zone mapping, session history, progress snapshots, backup and restore, and exportable handoff notes. CanvasMark does not provide pattern libraries, designer canvases, social sharing, or copyrighted chart content.
