NDOT — Bead Pattern Studio
Design, build & print charts
Free · In‑App Purchases
A one-time-purchase bead studio: real color codes from six brands, from drawing a pattern to placing every bead. Built separately for iPhone and iPad.
NDOT is an offline-first studio for fuse-bead patterns — from drawing a design dot by dot to placing real beads against the chart, in one app.
DESIGN
• A pro-grade editor: brush, eraser, fill, eyedropper, selection, line/rectangle/ellipse, mirror, layers
• Real color codes from six brands: Perler, Hama, Artkal, MARD, CoCo, DoDo — 900+ colors in production
• Custom palettes: build your own from the beads you actually own
• Text tool with bitmap fonts, CJK included
• Photo import: auto-matched to the nearest real bead colors, optional dithering
• 6 built-in designs, ready to edit, build, or delete
BUILD
• Build mode: row by row, tap a cell for every bead you place — never lose your spot
• Materials counted automatically: per-color totals and what's still missing
• Bead inventory & shopping list: know what to buy, down to a bead
• Board splitting: large patterns paginate per physical pegboard with alignment marks
EXPORT
• PNG at print-grade resolution, with optional grid and color codes
• Vector PDF: crisp at any zoom; color or codes-only for B&W printing; optional materials page
MADE FOR IPAD
• Three-pane workspace: canvas, colors, layers and materials on one screen
