No. One purchase covers Tondo on every iPhone, iPad, and Mac linked to your Apple ID. iCloud sync between those devices is included in that same purchase.

On Apple devices, yes: Tondo supports Family Sharing, so up to five family members in the same Family Sharing group can use it without buying separately. Google Play does not share in-app purchases through Family Library, so on Android the unlock belongs to the Google account that bought it.

From Tondo 2.0, an App Store or Google Play Pro purchase linked to your Tondo account also unlocks Pro on the other platform. Sign in to Tondo on the device where you bought Pro so the app can link the verified purchase, then use the same Tondo account on your other devices. Apple and Google sign-ins are separate accounts unless you link them on the account page, even with the same email address. Store purchases can still be restored without a Tondo account. From Tondo 2.0, Tondo sync keeps knitting and fabric projects in step on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android. It needs Pro, the same Tondo account on each device and automatic sync enabled in Settings > Tondo-account. Cross-stitch and hand-embroidery projects continue to use your own iCloud on Apple devices with Pro; they do not sync to Android through Tondo sync.

No. Tondo is a one-time purchase: you pay once, and what you buy stays yours. The one-time model is deliberate, not a placeholder.

Refunds go through the store you bought from. Bought on the App Store? Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com and Apple handles it directly. Bought on Google Play? Request one from your order history at play.google.com. If something in the app is not working as expected, feel free to reach out at support@tondomakers.com first and we will try to fix it.

No. Download Tondo with the same App Store account, then use Restore Purchases in Settings or on the paywall if Pro is not shown. To recover projects through iCloud, use the same iCloud account and make sure the old device finished syncing. A .tondo export is another way to move your projects.

Apple and Google each set the local price for their own storefront and currency, so the amount you see at purchase may differ from the euro amount shown here. The price the store shows at purchase is the one that applies.

Open Tondo, tap the gear icon in the library to open Settings, and choose Restore Purchases (it is also on the paywall). This asks the store you bought from (Apple or Google Play) to verify your prior transaction and unlocks the full app. If restore does not work, check that you are signed in with the Apple ID or Google account you bought with, or contact support@tondomakers.com. For a website purchase, sign in to the same Tondo account used for the purchase and refresh its licence status. Store purchase restoration does not restore a website licence.

Apple and Google sign-ins are separate accounts unless you link them on the account page, even with the same email address. Store purchases can still be restored without a Tondo account.

Yes. The native Mac app needs macOS 14.4 or later and supports compatible Intel and Apple silicon Macs. The same App Store Pro purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. iCloud sync uses the same iCloud account on each device.

Your existing projects and progress stay accessible. Your lifetime purchase remains valid; you do not need to buy again. Use Restore Purchases with the same store account if the unlock is not shown.

From version 1.2.0, Tondo can show an Update available row in your library when a newer version is available for your device in its store. Tap the row to open the App Store or Google Play. The cross hides that version for seven days. Checking requires a connection. You can keep stitching without updating. Older versions do not have this notice; check the store to install 1.2.0 first.

Cross stitch uses a counted grid and marks progress cell by cell. Hand embroidery keeps a picture, thread plan, stitch choices and notes while you work the design on fabric. Mark each thread complete instead of counting individual crosses. Both types live in the project library.

Choose Hand embroidery in the new-project flow, or select it after opening a photo. Name your project, choose a hoop, fabric and thread setup, and review the suggested DMC colours or add threads yourself. Preparation is free. Keep one own project free; additional projects require Pro.

It prepares a source preview, a transfer outline and up to twelve suggested DMC colours. It estimates how much of the picture each shade covers and keeps threads you already selected. Review the suggestions and choose stitches yourself. It does not automatically turn every shape into stitch instructions. Processing stays on your device.

Yes. Open the included botanical wreath. It has six thread colours, assigned stitches, artwork, instructions and an actual-size PDF transfer sheet. You can use the example and track its thread completion free. Preparation is free. Keep one own project free; additional projects require Pro.

The library has ten stitches: running, back, stem, split, satin, long and short, chain, lazy daisy, French knot and fishbone. They are grouped by line, fill and decorative use. Each has a diagram, needle directions and advice on when to use it. Assign a stitch to each thread in your plan.

In the project setup, choose a hoop from 3 to 12 inches; centimetres are shown too. Select the fabric and whether it is dark, then the thread type and strand count or thickness. Tondo uses this setup for cloth-size and needle guidance. Hand embroidery uses uncounted fabrics such as cotton, linen, denim or felt rather than a cross-stitch fabric count.

Assign a stitch and enter an area, line length or stitch count to calculate a thread estimate. Photo plans suggest colour coverage, which you can adjust. Hoop size, strands and thread type affect the result. Area coverage is saved with the plan; line lengths and stitch counts are calculation inputs. Some thread types have no supported skein length, so a buying estimate may be unavailable. Allow for your own technique and waste.

Open the design or the Transfer to fabric section in a hand-embroidery project. Choose a picture and Simple, Balanced or Fine detail, then export a one-page PDF sized for your selected hoop. Print at actual size or 100%, without Fit to page. Larger hoops need suitable paper or tiling in your print software. Check the printed scale before transferring it to fabric.

Record your fabric and whether it is dark. Tondo offers suitable choices from window tracing, dressmaker’s carbon paper, water-soluble stabiliser, an iron-on transfer pen, tissue paper and prick and pounce. Follow the guidance for the selected method and test your material on a scrap, particularly if heat, water or permanent marks are involved.

The iron-on transfer pen method applies the design ink-down, which reverses it on the fabric. Tondo mirrors that sheet so the transferred design reads correctly. Other methods use a normal-facing sheet. Check the selected method before printing, especially for lettering.

Mark each thread done as you finish its work. Open a thread to choose its stitch and coverage. Progress on existing projects stays accessible; adding or changing the thread plan requires Pro. Project notes and finishing steps stay alongside the design. Apple devices can sync through your own iCloud with Pro; Android uses local storage and manual Tondo-file transfers.

Try Simple for fewer edges or Fine for more, and use a clear, well-lit picture with a distinct subject. The outline follows visible image edges, so shadows and textured backgrounds can create unwanted lines. Compare the preview with the source and simplify the design before transferring it. The botanical wreath includes a prepared outline you can use to try printing.

Tondo can read PDF cross-stitch charts from many designers, shops, magazines and books. Compatibility depends on the layout and quality of the file. Preview the grid, symbols and thread key before saving; some charts need review or calibration and some cannot be read reliably.

Tondo attempts to read scanned or image-only charts by finding the grid and matching the printed symbols. Scans always require review. Resolution, blur, perspective and missing grid lines can prevent a reliable result. Check the preview against the original and use grid calibration when it is offered.

On a phone or tablet, use the camera or pick a photo of a printed chart. Tondo attempts to read its grid and symbols and asks you to check the result. A photo of a subject can instead become a counted cross-stitch pattern or a hand-embroidery plan: choose the craft in the photo flow. On Mac, choose an existing image; there is no in-app camera capture.

Use the page picker to choose the pages you need. Separate charts in a book can become separate projects; tiled pages belonging to one chart can join into a continuous canvas. Where a page contains distinct motifs, Tondo can offer them individually. Preparation is free. Keep one own project free; additional projects require Pro.

Tondo supports large full-coverage charts, but import and scrolling depend on the file and device. Preview your own chart before buying. Highlight one colour, lock marking to it and use find-next or the magnifier for dense sections. The confetti assessment and Highlight confetti option help locate isolated stitches.

Yes. The original PDF stays attached to the chart and is one tap away at any time, so you can cross-reference the designer's colour notes, copyright page, or any detail that did not come through in the parsed canvas.

Compare the preview with the original. Use grid calibration for a misplaced scan grid and confirm uncertain thread assignments. On a saved chart, you can change a thread, merge entries or correct a single misread cell; design changes require Pro. If the same file keeps failing, send its format, app version and a description to support@tondomakers.com.

Tondo supports OXS, Pattern Maker XSD, supported PCStitch PAT versions, FlossCross, KXStitch, Crosti, Stitch Art Easy and other chart formats. Support can differ by file version. Review the imported result and its warnings. Encrypted or unsupported formats may need a PDF or OXS export from the original program. The Formats page lists the supported and recognised formats.

Yes. Choose Draw your own to start with a blank grid and DMC colours. Use the brush, fill, eyedropper and undo, and add colours as you work. You can also turn a photo into a counted pattern and tune it. Saved charts support thread replacement, merging and individual cell correction. Preparation is free. Keep one own project free; additional projects require Pro.

Tondo can join tiled pages into one canvas, but overlap and layout vary by designer. Compare the preview with the original and review any alignment warning before saving. Separate designs from a book should remain separate projects. If pages are joined incorrectly, contact support@tondomakers.com with the file and the pages involved.

When Tondo recognises an already imported file, it offers the existing chart. To start again, use Duplicate from the project menu for a fresh copy, or re-import the kept original. Saving a new copy requires Pro; the original project and its progress remain available.

One own project can stay saved for free. Deleting it frees the slot. Failed imports do not use a slot. Existing projects, progress and purchases stay accessible.

If a multi-page import was interrupted, look for Continue import in the library. It resumes the pending import. Preparation is free. Keep one own project free; additional projects require Pro.

Adjust the width in stitches, number of colours, fabric shade, dithering and confetti reduction. Reframe the subject, lock a colour you want to keep, replace or merge threads, and use the cell editor for details. These are counted-pattern controls; a hand-embroidery photo plan provides an outline and thread suggestions instead.

Use Adjust pattern from the project menu when Tondo has kept the generation settings. It reopens your settings and edits. Saving replaces an unstitched original; if it already has stitching progress, the adjusted pattern saves as a copy. Saving either change requires Pro.

When the import flow offers manual reconstruction, use the original page under a grid and place the stitches yourself with the drawing tools. Check its dimensions and thread assignments carefully. This is manual chart creation; Tondo has not verified the unreadable symbols. Preparation is free. Keep one own project free; additional projects require Pro.

You can tap a cell to mark it, or swipe across a row (including diagonals) to mark several in one stroke. For larger areas, a flood fill marks every connected cell sharing the same symbol, and a block-fill covers a 10×10 square at once.

Undo steps back through your last ten marking actions; Redo reapplies an action you undid. On iPad or Mac with a keyboard, use Cmd+Z and Shift+Cmd+Z. On Android with a keyboard, use Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z.

Tap a colour in the legend to activate the marking filter: a lock badge shows which colour is highlighted, and all taps and swipes then mark only that symbol. Tap the badge again to release the filter.

While a colour is highlighted in the marking filter, use the find-next button to scroll the canvas to the next remaining cell of that colour; it pulses briefly so you can spot it quickly, and it wraps around when it reaches the edge.

Long-press a cell to set its stitch type and track specialty completion. Supported imports can also bring in separate backstitch lines, knots, beads or fractional elements, which you mark individually. These contribute to overall progress. Check the import report for details the file reader could not place.

Parking is a stitching method where you leave a thread resting in a nearby corner while you move across the fabric. Long-press a cell in Tondo and choose any of its four corners to place a coloured dot; Tondo shows a per-colour parked count and lets you jump to any parked position.

It is neither. The calm estimate is based on your own recorded pace over real stitching days and is shown only after you have two or more active days logged. Tondo never assigns a deadline or sends reminders; it is there if you find it useful, not to create pressure.

Canvas settings let you control grid weight and interval, toggle centre lines, adjust colour strength and switch mark style. High-contrast marks and the symbols-only view help when colour alone is hard to read. The progress display chooses its percentage precision automatically.

Bulk-clear removes every marked stitch for a given colour in one step. It is available from the colour's entry in the legend, and it counts as a single undoable action within the 10-step undo ring.

Yes. Alongside tapping single cells, you can swipe (including diagonally) to mark a run of stitches in one gesture.

Yes: use area-fill to flood a whole connected region of the same symbol, or block-fill to mark a 10x10 grid square at once.

Undo steps back through your last ten marking actions; Redo reapplies an action you undid. On iPad or Mac with a keyboard, use Cmd+Z and Shift+Cmd+Z. On Android with a keyboard, use Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z.

On supported Apple devices, add Tondo’s resume-chart action in Shortcuts. You can run it through Siri or assign the Shortcut to the Action Button on a compatible iPhone. It opens your current chart. Android does not use Apple Shortcuts.

Supported phones give a small haptic tap when you mark a stitch. Availability depends on the device; a Mac does not provide phone-style haptic marking feedback.

Long-press the cell and choose the unpick or frogging flag. It marks the work you want to revisit without changing the stitched count. You can check the flagged count for a colour and clear the flag after correcting your work.

Use the floating magnifier to inspect a small area, or choose Symbols only in the canvas appearance settings. You can also adjust grid lines and centre marks, jump to the chart centre and use high-contrast marks. On iPhone and iPad, VoiceOver reads and marks visible cells when you zoom in far enough.

Tondo uses DMC colours and conversion tables for Anchor, Madeira, COSMO and Olympus. Conversions are nearest-shade matches, not identical physical threads. Check the displayed match quality and compare your actual thread or the designer’s key before substituting.

You can manually override the colour code for any symbol: tap the symbol in the legend, re-assign it to the correct DMC, Anchor, Madeira, COSMO, or Olympus code, and the canvas updates immediately. If you stitch across devices, that override syncs to your other Apple devices and back via your own iCloud. Automatic iCloud sync requires Pro on Apple devices; Android keeps this data locally.

Colour strength changes the background colour behind the chart symbols. Choose the strength that helps you read the chart, or select Symbols only for a black-and-white grid. Mark style is a separate setting for how completed work appears.

Yes. The library search accepts both project names and floss codes; typing DMC 310, for example, surfaces every chart in your library that uses that colour. Sort options (name, progress, or recently opened) work alongside search.

The original PDF stays available one tap away from the chart view, so you can check the printed shade card, thread key, or any other detail from the designer at any time without leaving the app.

Yes. iCloud sync uses your own Apple account and Apple’s CloudKit. Tondo does not have access to your private iCloud charts or progress. From Tondo 2.0, the separate, optional Tondo sync route uses Tondo’s servers for knitting and fabric projects when enabled; it requires Pro and a Tondo account.

It uses conversion tables to display a corresponding DMC shade while retaining the thread code. A conversion can be an approximation; the app shows match quality or an unresolved entry where appropriate. Compare physical threads before making a substitution.

Yes: tap a colour in the legend to activate the marking filter, and from that point taps and swipes mark only that colour. A lock badge shows which colour is active. You can also use the find-next feature to jump straight to the next unmarked stitch of that colour, which wraps around when it reaches the edge.

Cross-stitch and hand-embroidery charts, progress, notes and thread colours can move between Apple and Android as a .tondo file. Export from the project menu or Settings > Move charts to another device, then open it in Tondo on the other device. Later changes need another export. On Apple devices, these projects can sync through iCloud with Pro. From Tondo 2.0, Tondo sync keeps knitting and fabric projects in step on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android. It needs Pro, the same Tondo account on each device and automatic sync enabled in Settings > Tondo-account. Cross-stitch and hand-embroidery projects continue to use your own iCloud on Apple devices with Pro; they do not sync to Android through Tondo sync.

Yes. Tondo includes COSMO and Olympus conversion tables alongside Anchor and Madeira. These map to the nearest supported DMC shade; they do not guarantee an identical physical colour.

A manual colour override applies to the chart you're working on, and it syncs to your other devices via iCloud; it doesn't touch your other charts. Automatic iCloud sync requires Pro on Apple devices; Android keeps this data locally.

Yes. A high-contrast / colour-blind mode adds a bold outline and a shape-based glyph to each mark, so colours aren't the only thing distinguishing symbols.

Mark the threads you own in the stash and add dye-lot notes. The project’s thread list compares required colours with your owned threads and shows what you still need. It does not track stock quantities. You can sort and search the list, and thread-use estimates depend on your fabric and strand settings.

Supported two-thread blends appear together as one palette entry with both codes. Check the component threads before stitching. With Pro, you can also merge two palette entries or replace a thread on a saved chart. The change applies to that chart; your other projects keep their own palettes.

Set the project fabric count, whether you stitch over one or two threads, the strand count and the mounting margin. The fabric calculator shows finished and cut dimensions, and the thread list estimates skeins. Treat these as estimates and compare them with the designer’s instructions. Hand embroidery has its own hoop and coverage settings.

You can sort your library by name, progress, or recently opened, and search by project name or floss code; typing DMC 310, for example, surfaces every chart that uses that thread. Tags (WIP, On Hold, Finished, plus any custom ones you add) let you group charts by status, and they sync to your other devices through your own iCloud. Automatic iCloud sync requires Pro on Apple devices; Android keeps this data locally.

Open the project, tap the tag area, and choose WIP, On Hold, or Finished; you can also create your own custom tags. Tags sync automatically across your iPhone, iPad and Mac, so the status stays consistent wherever you stitch. Automatic iCloud sync requires Pro on Apple devices; Android keeps this data locally.

Yes, each project has a notes field you can write freely in. Notes sync via iCloud alongside your progress, so they travel with the chart to your iPad or Mac. Automatic iCloud sync requires Pro on Apple devices; Android keeps this data locally.

Add stitch-along parts to your project, record their dates and mark each part complete as you work. Project metadata can sync through your own iCloud on Apple devices with Pro. This is your own checklist; Tondo does not share a live group schedule with other stitchers.

The stats screen shows today's stitch count, your current streak, a 7-day bar chart, and a 52-week heatmap so you can see patterns in your own stitching pace over the year. Each chart also has a palette ring that shows progress broken down by colour. All stats are stored locally on your device and are not synced.

Yes. The search field in the library accepts a floss code such as DMC 815 and returns every chart in your collection that includes that colour. This works for DMC codes natively, and Tondo resolves Anchor, Madeira, COSMO, and Olympus codes to their verified DMC equivalents as well.

Open the project’s menu in the library and choose Delete. On Apple devices with Pro and iCloud sync, deletion can propagate to your other devices. Android deletes the local project. Use Archive if you just want it out of the active list, or keep a .tondo export before deleting it.

Only completed syncs, exports or backups can restore lost data. From Tondo 2.0, sign in to the same Tondo account with Pro and enable Tondo sync to restore synced knitting and fabric projects, including on Android. For cross-stitch and hand embroidery on Apple devices, use the same iCloud account. Check sync status before removing the app or changing devices and keep a .tondo export. Device-local statistics are not restored by either sync route.

Try the examples and keep one own project free. Stitch, close and resume it. Buy the full version once for more projects and advanced design tools. No subscription. Your existing projects and progress stay accessible. Your lifetime purchase remains valid; you do not need to buy again. Use Restore Purchases with the same store account if the unlock is not shown.

For a counted chart, use Export progress for a CSV of per-thread progress. For a transferable project or backup, open its menu in the library and choose Share as Tondo file, or export the library from Settings > Move charts to another device.

No. Daily counts, streaks and activity history stay on each device. Project data and stitching progress can sync through your own iCloud on Apple devices with Pro. Android keeps its project data locally and uses manual .tondo transfers.

Sort your library by name, progress or recently-opened, and search by chart name or by floss code; searching DMC 310, for example, surfaces every chart that uses it.

Use Archive to move a chart out of your active library and return to it from the archive. You can also rename projects or organise them with tags. Deleting is different: synced deletions can reach your other Apple devices, so export a project first if you want to keep a separate copy. Automatic iCloud sync requires Pro on Apple devices; Android keeps this data locally.

Keep reference photos and notes with the project, record its designer or source, and use the finishing checklist for steps such as washing, blocking, framing or gifting. The original imported chart remains available for checking instructions. On Apple devices with Pro, supported project data and reference photos sync through your own iCloud.

On a completed counted chart, use the sharing action in the finish screen to share a progress image. This is a picture to show someone; use Share as Tondo file from the library menu when you want to transfer an editable project and its progress.

Check that the file is a chart format Tondo supports and that any cloud download has finished. Scans need a readable grid and symbols; some layouts need calibration or manual correction. Read the import message. If it still fails, contact support@tondomakers.com with the app version, device, file type and the message shown.

Compare the thread key in the original file with the imported palette. Incorrect symbol matching, an unreadable key or a nearest-shade conversion can produce unexpected colours. With Pro, correct the thread assignment or a misread cell. Send a reproducible example to support@tondomakers.com if the import repeatedly assigns the wrong thread.

Check the sync route for this project. From Tondo 2.0, knitting and fabric projects need Pro, the same Tondo account and automatic Tondo sync enabled on both devices. Cross-stitch and hand embroidery use the same iCloud account on Apple devices with Pro; check iCloud storage too. Open Tondo on both devices with a connection and read the sync status. If it stays stuck, send support@tondomakers.com the device names, app versions and sync message.

Open Settings > Canvas & stitching and check Keep screen on while stitching. The setting applies to the counted chart workbench. You can also open stitching settings from the chart menu. If the chart still dims, send your device, system version and Tondo version to support@tondomakers.com.

Use Restore Purchases in Settings or on the paywall, with the Apple or Google account you used to buy Tondo. You do not need to pay again. If your purchase is still missing after reopening the app online, contact support@tondomakers.com.

Very large charts can place more load on older devices. Reopen the app and check whether the slowdown affects one chart or every project. Contact support@tondomakers.com with your device, system and Tondo versions, chart size and the steps that slow down. If possible, include the chart so we can reproduce it.

Only completed syncs, exports or backups can restore lost data. From Tondo 2.0, sign in to the same Tondo account with Pro and enable Tondo sync to restore synced knitting and fabric projects, including on Android. For cross-stitch and hand embroidery on Apple devices, use the same iCloud account. Check sync status before removing the app or changing devices and keep a .tondo export. Device-local statistics are not restored by either sync route.

The easiest way is to export the PDF from your Files app and email it to support@tondomakers.com along with a description of what goes wrong during import. If the chart is from a specific designer or is a scanned image, mention that too, as it helps us reproduce the issue faster.

You can send feedback directly through the TestFlight app using the shake gesture or the feedback button, which captures a screenshot automatically. For more detailed reports, especially if you have a problem chart to share, email support@tondomakers.com and mention you are on the beta build so we can match it to the right version.

Frogging flags are in the cell’s long-press menu. Reference photos are kept with project notes. Counted charts have fabric-size and floss estimates; hand-embroidery projects use hoop, fabric and thread setup with stitch-specific estimates. Check that you have the latest Tondo version, and contact support@tondomakers.com if you cannot find a control.

Scanned and image-only charts always go through a review step rather than being auto-accepted, because recovering a grid from an image isn't perfect. Correct anything off in review before you start; if a page has no detectable grid, Tondo tells you honestly rather than guessing.

Choose Sewing and open the fabric stash. Give each piece a photo or colour, its size in centimetres or inches, the material and a count; Tondo gives it a short code such as L-001. For an irregular piece, mark the usable regions and keep holes and seams outside them.

For the project you pick, Tondo sorts your pieces into fits, fits after a change you confirm, too short and unsuitable, with the reason for each piece. Stretch knits, pile, leather and heavy fabrics are never planned automatically.

An envelope cushion cover, a lined drawstring project bag and a quilted table runner, laid out as a square grid, rail fence or log cabin. Each recipe lists every piece, the materials and the steps. The cutting plan includes seam allowance, grain, print direction and a safety margin. Tondo checks every plan but does not claim it is the best possible one.

Export the cutting plan as an A4 or Letter PDF with full-size templates and a 5 cm (2 inch) check square. Print at 100% and measure the square before you cut. The plan and the sewing checklist open offline on the step where you stopped.

Cutting records the pieces you used and keeps named remnants; you correct stock explicitly. Deleting a fabric project releases what it reserved, and the library offers Undo so you can restore it.

Open Settings > Tondomakers community, sign in with your Tondo account, choose a handle and accept the community rules. You must be 16 or older to join. The community is optional and free; the rest of Tondo works without it.

Your profile, posts and comments are visible to signed-in community members, not on the open web. Before you share a project, a preview shows exactly what is sent: title, caption, milestone, row progress if you choose, materials and work photos. Pattern files, imported PDFs, scans, notes and a project's recipient are never shared, and photos lose their location data.

Open the menu on a post, comment or profile and choose Report or Block. A blocked member's posts and comments disappear for you, and yours for them; you can undo a block. For a copyright problem, use the rights claim. Reports reach a moderator by email, and each report is handled within 24 hours.

Yes, patterns you designed in Tondo. A new version is published as an update to the same pattern. Only your own designs can be published, and paid sales are not available.

Delete a post or comment from its menu; it goes offline at once and its photos are erased from storage. Deleting your Tondo account removes your profile and everything you shared. Questions about moderation go to support@tondomakers.com.
