iThreads - Thread Organizer for iPhone

Quick summary

iThreads is an iPhone utility for people who work with threads — from cross-stitch and satin stitch to knitting and other needle arts. The app helps you catalog and manage thread stocks, prepare materials for projects, and keep shopping organized so you can focus on stitching.

Main capabilities

• Create and manage project kits that gather required threads and flag anything missing.
• Save favorite threads for instant access while planning or working.
• Import prebuilt color palettes (for example from Muline-format sources).
• Maintain an up-to-date inventory of thread quantities so you know when to restock.
• Produce printable project sheets and shopping lists for use offline.
• Export a simple checklist of palette colors to mark up on paper.
• Keep a backup of your data and restore it across devices when needed.
• Attach price information to threads to calculate approximate project costs.

How project setup works

When you assemble a new project in the app, iThreads will collect every thread referenced by that project and compare it to your current inventory. Threads you don’t have on hand are automatically added to a shopping list, saving time when preparing to start. You can then export or print the project summary and the shopping list so you have a physical copy to take with you.

Data protection and cost tracking

Backups are supported so your thread catalog and projects can be restored if you switch devices or reinstall the app. For budgeting, enter the price of individual threads and the app will total the estimated expense for the items on your shopping list.

Where to get help and availability

iThreads is free and available to iPhone users in the Lifestyle section of the App Store. For bugs, suggestions, or support, use the developer contact option on the app’s store page or the in-app support link.
