Everything Stitched Off does today. Each section links to a tutorial that shows you how.

Import and setup

Open a cross-stitch PDF, and Stitched Off picks out the chart, legend and cover pages.
The grid is found from the page's own drawing, not guessed from a picture.
Five guided steps — Pages, Grids, Legend, Join, Stitch — show what was read, and nothing goes ahead until you say so.
Fix a grid by tapping its four corners or stating its size, and fix any legend row by hand.
Image-only, password-protected and very large PDFs are spotted before they open, with a plain explanation.

Tap a square to mark it, or drag across a run — even across page breaks.
Mark a whole area at once: a 10×10 block, a box or a lasso around any shape — and erase the same way. One gesture is one undo.
Pick the stitch kind from one menu: full, half, quarter, three-quarter, petite and beads.
Half, quarter, three-quarter and petite stitches, drawn in their real shapes.
Erase is a tool of its own, and you can undo or redo anything.
Show only the threads you're working on, and jump to the next unstitched square.
A minimap shows the whole design in its thread colours, so you always know where you are.
Mark with Apple Pencil or your finger.

Backstitch and long stitches are read from the lines printed on your chart — trace one to mark it.
Draw your own backstitch where the chart has none.
French knots and beads are read from the chart's dots and marked like any stitch.
Backstitch, long stitches, French knots and beads all count towards your progress, so 100 % means the whole design is finished.

DMC, Anchor and Madeira shade cards built in.
Show any chart's threads as another brand's nearest match.
Tick the threads you own and filter to what's in your box.
A shopping list of the threads a pattern needs that you don't have, ready to copy or share.
Search your library by pattern, designer, notes, or a thread's code or name.
A realistic preview shows the chart in its thread colours.
Change a thread's colour, or pick your own for a hand-dyed thread.
Keep notes with each pattern.

Statistics for each pattern and all your stitching: a 12-month heatmap, stitches per day, streaks and sessions.
Set a finish-by date and see the pace you need against the pace you keep.
A month calendar of your stitching: tap a day for its stitches, minutes and threads.
A history of every session: how long, how many stitches, and where on the chart.
Set a daily stitch target, and get a small celebration when you reach it.

Choose how the chart looks: grid lines, centre lines, page breaks, rulers and guides.
Choose how stitched squares are shown, and the colour of every mark.
Colour-blind-safe palettes for deuteranopia, protanopia and tritanopia.

Your patterns, their PDFs and your progress sync between your devices, privately to your Stitched Off account.
Back up any pattern as a single file.
The backup is plain, documented text, so your progress is never locked in.
