Why the desktop app?

Works offline

No internet, no problem. Open, edit, export — on a plane, in the woods, or just because.

Your files, your machine

Patterns are saved as .stitchmate files on your disk. Open with double-click. Back them up however you like.

Lifetime ownership

One license, forever. Auto-updates from GitHub Releases — install once, get every update.

Same editor as the web

All the same tools, color quantization, PDF export. Auto-saves every 3 seconds. Crash recovery included.
