Bead Time: Pattern Maker

Turn a photo into a pattern you can actually make—processed on your device, editable bead by bead, with material counts, guided progress, and PNG or PDF export.

Bead Time is an offline companion for making real fuse-bead projects. Choose a photo and create an editable bead pattern directly on your device, then prepare materials and track every step of the build.

Privacy first:

No account, ads, third-party analytics SDKs, or tracking. Photos, patterns, and progress are processed and stored on your device. Content leaves the app only when you explicitly save an export to Photos or choose a destination from the system share sheet.
