Help with private pattern import, on-device text recognition, verification, planning and export.
Choose a pattern envelope, instruction page, image or PDF. Review every extracted field, confirm the fabric plan and notions, then save the verified project.
Getting started
Choose a pattern envelope, instruction page, image or PDF. Review every extracted field, confirm the fabric plan and notions, then save the verified project.
Import and text recognition
Use the camera, Apple's system photo picker or document picker. Vision text recognition and the complete rule-based fallback run on your device.
Review and editing
Confirm the title, company, pattern number, size, fabric width, fabric length and notions against the original source before saving.
Fabric and notions planning
Compare required fabric with fabric already on hand, record owned notions, and see only the remaining purchase gaps.
Export and sharing
Create a PDF project packet or CSV shopping list. Apple's share sheet lets you choose the destination after an explicit export action.
Privacy and security
There is no account, analytics, advertising, tracking, document upload, backend, cloud sync or external AI provider.
Purchase
PatternPilot AI is a paid App Store download. There are no in-app purchases, subscriptions, credits or external checkout.
FAQ
PatternPilot AI organizes user-confirmed pattern facts. Always verify measurements, fabric quantities, notions and instructions against the original pattern before cutting.
Does the app guarantee extracted measurements?
No. Recognized fields are editable and must be checked against the original pattern before saving and cutting.
Is Apple Intelligence required?
No. Apple Vision OCR, deterministic local rules and manual editing provide the complete workflow. Apple Intelligence can improve only visible identity-field organization on supported devices.
Does the app work offline?
Import, recognition, review, calculations, local storage and export work without an account or app server. Public support links require internet access when opened.
Does PatternPilot AI include or sell sewing patterns?
No. The app contains no third-party patterns or pattern marketplace. It works only with sources the user selects or details the user enters.
Troubleshooting
If recognition fails, use an evenly lit image with readable contrast, flatten the page, or import a text-based PDF. Manual entry remains available. If export fails, confirm the project was saved as verified and that the device has available storage, then create the PDF or CSV again.
