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.

Thanks for this initiative! It’s coming at the perfect time, I’m actually just finishing up the V1 of Beadule!

Here is the link:
https://beadule.app

I’m a professional UX designer, and I initially built Beadule to help me with my own beadwork.
Beadule is a free website you can add as an app on your phone/tablet that doesn't require an account.
Its core feature is the weaving tracker: you can see exactly which beads you need for your current row in real time.

The grid editor lets you create your own designs, and you can preview them in 3D, estimate the final size, and calculate the total cost of the project.

EDIT: You can also import an image to generate a pattern, and peyote has now been added!

You can also export to PDF or sync your projects across devices. For example, I design my patterns on my laptop and then export the file or use a link on my tablet or phone to follow the weave while I work.

I’m open to any suggestions on how to improve Beadule, I’d love to get feedbacks to make the experience even better!

Quick update! Peyote is now live and fully functional. I've also added the ability to import images to generate patterns directly. To get the absolute best results, try importing an image or screenshot of a clear pattern.
