About the App

Beadographer is a fun app for creating and sharing beading designs. It is simple to use, but has a lot of powerful features, too.

The app is developed for Windows, Mac OS X and iPad. You may encounter errors when trying to use it with other devices. We recommend using Chrome with Beadographer.

In the membership version, the app can export a PDF with diagrams and instructions for how to bead your design.

Information we collect from you

In general, you can use our website without providing personal data. With the exception of your IP address, we only use personal data when you volunteer to provide it to us, for example by signing up for a membership or when you contact us by email.

In order to create a membership account, we ask for your name, email, and a username. We may collect further information that you provide in the course of corresponding with us (for example, by email). We are husband and wife team and only we have access to this data.

Our servers automatically log information provided from your browser, such as your IP address, browser type, and the URL that you requested. This is standard practice for most websites you visit. Log files are stored in an anonymous form.
