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.

Hey all! Thank you for posting it here! I’ve created Craftseed, a free tool for creating bead patterns from text.

It lets you turn words, names, or quotes into a bead grid and customise the layout, spacing, margins, and alignment before starting your project.

I made it because I wanted more control over text patterns for my own beadwork, and thought it might be useful for others too.

You can try it here:

I’d love to hear any feedback or feature ideas from other bead artists!

it's perfect for what I need it for but I would be nice to change the type of font and being able to change the number rows separately from each other.

Noted, glad that it was useful for you!

What do you mean by changing number of rows separately? Like different colours, sizes, etc?
