What Aida does
Aida turns the PDF charts you already own into a living workbench: mark stitches as you go, watch every colour count down to zero, and pick up on your iPad exactly where your iPhone left off. Here’s the tour.
Import any designer’s PDF
Pick a chart from Files and Aida reads it: the grid, every symbol, the thread key with its floss colours. Multi-page charts are stitched into one continuous canvas — no more flipping between page 3 and the key on page 7.
A workbench, not a PDF viewer
Tap a square to mark it stitched — marks stay translucent so the symbol underneath stays readable. Pinch to zoom from whole-chart overview down to comfortable one-square-at-a-time, on a warm paper-like canvas that’s easy on the eyes.
Follow one colour at a time
Tap a colour in the thread key and the whole chart highlights just those stitches — the “cross-country” way of working. Every colour shows a live count that falls to zero as you stitch, next to your overall progress.
Synced through your iCloud
Progress moves between iPhone and iPad by itself, through your personal iCloud. Offline first — stitch anywhere, it syncs when it can, and a quiet status icon always tells you where you stand. No account, no server of ours.
A library built for WIPs
Stitchers run many works-in-progress at once — Aida’s library shows each chart with its own progress, remembers exactly where you stopped on every one, and keeps the original PDF one tap away for reference.
Yours, properly
€14.99 once. Family Sharing included. Free updates. A Settings page with a human behind it, a privacy policy that says “we collect nothing” and means it, and charts that never leave your devices.
Try yours before you pay
The free tier opens your first two charts with the full workbench — import, zoom, mark, highlight. If your PDFs parse (they almost certainly will), you’ll know before spending a cent. If one doesn’t, send it to us — unparseable charts are bugs to fix.
