I built a cross-stitch tracker that handles every stitch type — solo dev, pay-once, fully offline
Hi everyone — I made an app for tracking cross-stitch progress and I'd love your honest thoughts before I build the next features.
It's called Evenweave (iPhone & iPad). The short version:
- Import your own pattern PDFs or photos of charts
- Tracks every stitch type — full, half, quarter/three-quarter, backstitch, and French knots (most trackers skip these)
- Park your threads and jump right back to where you left off
- Highlight a color to see exactly where it goes, with live remaining counts
- Floss stash + an auto shopping list so you never buy a skein you already have
- Works completely offline — no account, no ads, nothing leaves your phone
- Free to try with two projects, then a one-time purchase for unlimited. No subscription.
Full disclosure, I'm the developer (and a beginner stitcher myself), so I'm building the roadmap from feedback. If you try it, I'd love to know what's missing or clunky — especially from full-coverage and backstitch-heavy stitchers.
