LaaBeady is a free set of browser-based tools for MARD fuse bead crafting: a Stock tracker for your bead colours, a Designer for drawing pixel-art bead patterns, and Projects for organising every design you've saved.

The colour palette built into every page — 291 colours, the series letters, the finishes like Pearlescent or Glow-in-the-dark — is the MARD range specifically. Colour codes, stock tracking and beads-needed counts are all matched against that same palette, so a different brand's colours won't line up with it.

No. Everything runs in your browser and saves to your browser's own storage — no sign-up and nothing to install.

Each packet is treated as roughly 1,000 beads. Packet counts on the Stock page and the beads-needed estimates in the Designer are both based on that.

A colour is flagged as low once its count drops to or below the threshold you've set. A colour you've never logged at all isn't counted as low — only ones you actually keep.

Ticking a colour on any "beads needed" list — in the Designer, or on a project — adds it to your reorder list on the Stock page, starting at 1 packet, which you can then adjust with +/-.

The "Add short colours to reorder" button on those same lists queues however many packets you're short of, for every colour that isn't already covered, without ever lowering a quantity you've set higher by hand.

Those series are named for a finish rather than a colour family: P is Pearlescent, Q is Thermochromic, R is Jelly (a translucent finish), T is Transparent, Y is Glow-in-the-dark, and ZG is Photochromic (develops colour under UV light).

Open the beads-needed panel — it lists every colour used in the design, how many beads and packets that comes to, and, once you're tracking stock, how many more of each you need to buy.

Save updates the design you're currently editing. Save as always creates a new, separate design under a new name and leaves the original untouched.

Not once it has a name — a brand-new board saves itself the moment you type a name for it, the same way typing a new name into an already-saved design renames it live.

Yes — Export… in the File menu produces a printable chart, with an optional translucent watermark of your own text.

Folders (including folders inside folders) let you organise your saved designs. Moving, renaming, or deleting a folder never deletes the designs inside it.

Yes — select several designs in Projects and open "Beads for N designs" to see the combined total across all of them.

One file covers your stock entries, saved designs, folders, reorder list, and settings (grid colours, beads-per-packet) — everything, in one file, restorable from Home, Stock tracker, Designer, or Projects, whichever you open it from.

Downloading (or copying to clipboard) makes a one-off snapshot you save somewhere yourself. Linking connects the page to a file on your computer that it writes to automatically after every change, so you don't have to remember to back up.

No — each device keeps its own local data. To move data between devices, back it up on one (download it, or copy it) and restore that same file on the other, using Copy/paste-restore or Connect to an existing file.

Only if there was no backup. Anything kept purely in the browser's own storage is lost when that site data is cleared. A downloaded backup file, or a linked file, survives that.

Linking a file needs a browser with the File System Access API — currently Chrome or Edge. Safari and Firefox can't do it; downloading a backup file still works everywhere.

Some browsers forget file permission between sessions. Click Reconnect — in the warning banner, or inside the Backup and restore dialog — and allow access again.
