Genie Reader

Genie Reader is the ultimate companion for anyone who creates string portraits.

How it works

Save your pattern as a simple text file
Load the file into Genie Reader
Press Start – the app reads each line aloud, highlights the current color, and beeps before the final loop of every color block
Pause or resume anytime – your exact position is always saved

No more memorizing the upcoming loops in your head. No more losing your place after a phone call. No more missed color changes. Just pure, focused, joyful portrait construction.
Genie Reader was born from real frustration on real projects. Every feature was built because the developer needed it himself while weaving massive portraits. Now it’s yours.
