Markup is the Markup you know, completely rebuilt from the ground up. Your existing projects and purchase carry over, and I’ve tried to include many of the features and improvements you guys have asked for over the years.

New to Markup instead? Start with Welcome to Markup.


Markup Overview at a Glance

One App, Two Parts

Main Dashboard
all your projects and more
New Project Wizard
set up and stitch

Open a project to move between them.

The Dashboard
Plan, track and browse. Five tabs: Home, Statistics, Settings, Profile and Tutorials. Everything outside a single project lives here. Take the Dashboard tour.
The Project Wizard
Set up your chart and start stitching. First import your pattern, align the grids, set up your symbols and colours, then move straight into Markup to begin stitching. The Wizard guides you through everything, step by step. Take the Wizard tour.

Your Projects and Purchase

Existing projects carry over automatically.
Your existing Markup projects are carried over into the new version, including your markup and progress. Each project is tagged so you can easily see whether it has already been converted to the new format.
Purchases carry over automatically
The new Markup will simply update your existing app. Your current subscription or lifetime purchase will carry over automatically, so there’s nothing you need to do and nothing to buy again.

Marking Up, Reinvented

No more mode switching
Two fingers pan and zoom, one finger always marks. The old markup/symbol/pan-zoom buttons are gone. Full guide.
Backstitch you can mark off
Draw backstitch on its own layer, solid or dashed, and mark it off as you go. Fractional stitches and French knots too. Full guide.
Stop the wrong-shade mistake
Pick a colour and only that symbol lights up across the whole chart, matched to your key. Stitch one clean colour at a time. Full guide.
Never lose your place
A ring flashes on your last stitch and one tap jumps straight back to it. Guide bars frame your working area. Full guide.
Parking and notes
Parked stitches get their own marker, and movable text notes live right on the chart. Full guide.

Load Any Chart

Stitch from a photo
Photograph a chart in a book or magazine, then crop, straighten and split it into markable pages. Full guide.
Straighten crooked charts
A skewed scan or photo warps back to square, a step no other app has. Full guide.
Colour charts welcome
Blocks of colour instead of symbols? Symbol search can match by colour as well as by shape. Full guide.
Build charts from images
Add pages from your camera or gallery and the app assembles them into a single project. Full guide.
Password protected PDFs
Charts from designers like Golden Kite now open directly.

Progress and Peace of Mind

Setup and stitching are separate
Set your chart up in the wizard, and once you are happy, stitching is just stitching. A stray tap can never change your symbols, colours or grid. Full guide.
Motivation that lasts
A daily goal ring, a stitching calendar, your pace and a live forecast of your finish date, with celebrations at milestones. Full guide.
Your work, safe and portable
Back up a project in a tap and move it between devices. Full guide.
Easier on your eyes
Colour themes, chart rotation in 90 degree steps, and display settings tuned for long sessions. Full guide.

Did you know?

  • The project limit has gone up from 150 to 200 projects.
  • The stitching session timer is adjustable from 5 minutes to 2 hours, so short breaks no longer split your session.
  • More thread lists: many manufacturers beyond DMC, including Mill Hill beads.
