Threadlet
Color by number, one thread at a time
Every chart is a grid of numbered cells. Choose a thread color from the palette, then tap or drag to fill each matching cell. A progress bar shows how far along the piece is.
A cozy cross stitch game for tiny pixel charts
Pick a small stitch-style chart, tap the matching thread color, and watch a handmade-looking pixel piece come together. Pixel color by number, one stitch at a time.
Free to download for iPhone and iPad (iOS 17 or later). Optional in-app subscription: Threadlet Plus.

Frequently asked questions
Is Threadlet free?
Threadlet is free to download. An optional subscription, Threadlet Plus, unlocks the premium pattern packs. Prices and terms are shown in the app and on the App Store page, and you can cancel in your App Store account.
Is this real cross stitch?
No. Threadlet is a coloring game inspired by cross stitch. You fill pixel charts on your screen; there is no needle or thread to buy.
Can I turn my own photo into a pattern?
Not inside Threadlet. Make pixel art from a photo in PixelMe, another app by Sato Apps. Patterns imported from PixelMe are kept in their own pack in Threadlet.
Which devices and languages does it support?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later. The app is available in English and Japanese. There is no Android version at the moment.
Does it need an account or an internet connection to play?
The App Store listing says Threadlet works locally on your device. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what data is handled.
