A cross-stitch chart in Flossva. The red stitches still to sew are highlighted in yellow, everything else is dimmed.

Three crafts, two ways to follow a pattern

Bring the PDFs you already own. Flossva reads them on your device.

A chart with one thread colour highlighted across the grid.

Chart mode

Cross-stitchCharted knit and crochet

Flossva rebuilds your PDF chart as one continuous grid you can tap, even past 50,000 stitches. Tap a legend colour to highlight it, tap or drag cells to mark them, and park a stitch to come back to. If a cell can’t be read for certain, Flossva flags it for you to check. It never guesses.

Written mode

KnitCrochet

Your pattern PDF with a highlighter band on the row you are working, which you move yourself, line by line. Up to four counters, and you can link them, so Repeat goes up every 8 rows and Row starts again. Big mode turns one counter into the whole screen: tap anywhere to count.

How a session goes

  1. Import a PDF you own

    From Files, the share sheet, or by dropping it on your iPad. Flossva tells you what it could read and what needs a look. Scanned and paper charts work too: scan them with the camera and line up the grid.

  2. Work one colour or one row

    Highlight a floss colour and mark stitches as you sew them. Or move the highlighter to your row, tap once per finished row and let the counters track repeats and shaping.

  3. Stop whenever you like

    Zoom, position, highlight and counters are saved as you go and sync through your own iCloud, so your phone opens to the same stitch.

Your patterns and your progress are none of our business.

No account

There is nothing to sign up for. The app works the moment it opens.

No server

Sync runs through your own iCloud, or you keep everything on one device. Flossva never receives your patterns or progress.

Nothing in the app watches what you do. No ads, no tracking. It works fully offline.

Questions

What if my chart is a scan, or on paper?

Scan the paper with the camera, or import the scanned PDF, and use overlay mode. Flossva looks for the printed grid and proposes where it sits; you check the four corners and the row and column counts, then mark cells on top of the page image. The pictures stay on your device.

What if Flossva can’t read part of my chart?

It says so. Unsure cells are tinted on the review screen with a plain reason, so you can check them or line that page up by hand. Flossva never fills in a cell it isn’t sure of.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Everything except buying and syncing works offline.

Which devices does it run on?

iPad and iPhone, in English, French and Spanish. There is no Android, Mac or Apple Watch version.

What happens to my projects if I stop using it?

They are yours. Export any project as a single backup file to Files or iCloud Drive at any time, including after the trial.
