Privacy by design
Your artwork stays on your Mac.
Last updated July 16, 2026
Local processing
StitchPlot reads source images, generates charts and calculates palette and thread estimates locally on your Mac. The core app does not require an account or upload your artwork to Shipmac.
Encrypted project storage
The app encrypts its local project archive with authenticated encryption and keeps the encryption key in macOS Keychain. You remain responsible for protecting your Mac account and exported files.
Exports
StitchPlot writes PDF patterns, shopping lists, project JSON, manifests and backups only when you request them. Source images remain untouched.
Website and checkout
This website may produce ordinary server access logs. Purchases are processed by Polar as merchant of record under its own privacy terms. Shipmac receives the purchase details needed to deliver and support the app; payment-card details are not handled by the app.
