The Home tab opens by default when you start Markup R-XP. It gives you quick access to your current and recent projects, and is the starting point for creating a new project or importing an existing one.

You’ll see a friendly greeting and, occasionally, a message of the day before your projects appear. Tap any project cover image to jump straight back into setup or continue stitching where you left off. See The Project Wizard for more.

The Current Project Card

Open the project

[Screenshot: the current project card with cover image, dates, stats and icons]

Your most recent piece is always front and centre. Tap the card and you are back to stitching in one move.
Rename it
Tap the project title to give the piece a name you will recognise.
Edit the dates
Tap the start or finished date to set it. Setting a finished date can optionally mark every remaining stitch complete, taking the piece to 100%.
View statistics
The chart icon opens the Statistics screen for this project: progress, pace and history.
Archive or delete
The zipper icon exports the project to a shareable backup file. The trash icon deletes it, after a confirmation, so a piece is never lost by accident.

Recent Projects

Up to five recent pieces
Your most recently opened projects, each on a compact card. Jump back into any of them without hunting through the full list.
Same controls per card
Each recent card carries the same actions as the current one: open, rename, edit the start date, statistics, archive and delete.

Live Read-Outs

Progress bar
A bar on each card shows percent complete, refreshing as you mark stitches. A visible finish line that keeps you motivated.
Live stitch statistics
Total, completed and remaining stitches, plus estimated days and date to finish. The app does the maths for you.
Last markup date
When you last marked a stitch on each project. Spot at a glance which pieces are active and which have gone quiet.

  • It greets you by name: join the community on the Profile tab and the dashboard welcomes you personally, morning, afternoon or evening.
  • Estimates show a dash until a project has some stitch history. Mark a few sessions and the finish forecast appears.
