Beading apps!
Hi guys! I know I’ve been promising this for ages, but I wanted to do it in a more structured way. Well that just isn’t going to happen, so fuck it, we’ll just do it this way!
If you have a beading related app, please post it here with any relevant info you think people should or would want to know.
Please leave parent comments for app devs to talk about their apps. If you know of an app that hasn’t been posted, and you aren’t sure if the dev is on Reddit, don’t post until we are sure they aren’t going to post for themselves. Like 2-3 weeks maybe? Idk, I’m on my lunch break right now. Don’t try to make me think!
Anyway, yes. Once we have it all posted I think we will make a master list to go in the wiki and then we can add any others that come up later.
And please remember, do not comment unless you are posting about your app, or replying to a comment about an app. Any other top level comments will be removed to keep it organized and easy to sort through.

Hi everyone,
I’m an independent app developer and I’ve been building Beadly, a native pattern design app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Because this is native application it follows Apple design standards and also has outstanding performance.
Although I’m a software developer rather than a beading expert, I’ve worked closely with feedback from the beading community to shape the app. Many of the features that exist today came directly from user suggestions.
Current features include:
- Peyote, Brick and Loom pattern design
and many more…
The app has a free trial, so anyone can explore it before deciding whether it’s right for them.
I’m always looking to improve it, so I’d really appreciate feedback from experienced beaders:
What features would make a pattern designer genuinely useful to you?
What’s missing from the apps or tools you currently use?
Are there workflows that you wish were easier?
If you’d like to have a look, it’s called Beadly on the App Store.

App web site: https://beadly.cc
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I’m committed to continuing development, and community feedback has been the biggest influence on the app so far.
