Bead Board, a serious planning canvas for bead crafters
An offline bead-design tool for planning colors, patterns, stitch structure, and printable pattern sheets before buying materials.
Field notes
The canvas combines bead placement and editing tools with catalog-aware color selection, finish filters, realistic rendering, palette generation, and pattern export. Its catalog covers more than 4,500 colors across seven Miyuki and TOHO groupings, while exported PDFs include legends, counts, symbols, and tiled pages with overlap for taping. The site also describes device-local storage, offline operation, single-file library backups, and optional anonymous analytics rather than account-based syncing.
