Cross-stitch chart tracker for iPhone & iPad. Buy once. Synced everywhere.
Open the PDF charts you already own, tap stitches as you go, and watch every colour count down to zero. Your progress follows you from iPhone to iPad automatically — no subscription, no manual export, no rent.
The same project on both. Put your iPad down, pick your iPhone up at lunch — you’re exactly where you left off.
Reads the charts you bought
Import any designer’s PDF chart — Etsy, magazines, indie designers. Aida detects the grid, the symbols, and the thread key, and stitches multi-page charts into one continuous canvas.
Synced across your Apple devices
Progress lives in your own iCloud and moves between iPhone and iPad by itself. No export buttons, no email-it-to-yourself, no account to create.
Pay once. It’s yours.
€14.99, one time. Every feature, forever, with Family Sharing. The free version lets you stitch your first charts and check that your PDFs open — before you pay a cent.
Why stitchers switch
The subscription tracker
€19.99 per year, and moving a project between your iPhone and iPad still means exporting and importing by hand.
The beloved Android one
Wonderful — and still not on iPhone after five years of “coming soon.”
Aida
Buy once. Reads your PDFs. Syncs through your own iCloud, automatically. Made by an indie who answers messages.
Works with your charts
Aida is built for standard PDF charts — the grid-with-symbols-and-thread-key format that Etsy designers and magazines publish. Full-coverage, confetti-heavy, multi-page: the free tier exists so you can confirm your own charts parse before unlocking.
Questions stitchers ask
Is it really one-time? No subscription hiding anywhere?
Really. €14.99 once, every feature, forever. There is no subscription tier, and our written promise: no converting to one later, no removing paid features, no selling data.
Will it open my Etsy PDF charts?
Yes — Aida reads standard PDF charts (grid, symbols, thread key) from any designer. Try yours in the free version first; if a chart of yours won’t parse, tell us and we make it work.
iPhone and iPad?
Both, as one purchase — and your progress syncs between them automatically through your own iCloud. No account, no server of ours.
Backstitch and fractional stitches?
On the roadmap. Version 1 nails full-stitch tracking, colour highlighting, and flawless sync first; specialty-stitch marking follows.
When can I get it?
It’s in the final stretch. Join the waitlist and you’ll hear the day it ships.
