RETROBEADS PRISM
Every maker — Free or Prism — can publish and share patterns, get gallery attribution, and let others fork their work. No payment needed. Prism adds up to 50 active project backups with cross-device restore, richer exports, BOM planning, and separate My Beads sync.
Maker-friendly accounts
Free and Prism have the same publication rights: a public page, gallery attribution, and forkable snapshots anyone can remix. Prism also adds explicit project backups — choose Back up project for a project, then Update backup after local changes. My Beads sync is a separate Prism feature.
Backup choices
Prism backs up only the projects you explicitly choose. My Beads sync is a separate choice.
Projects stay on this device until you choose Back up project or Update backup.
Sync your bead library separately when you want it across devices.
Logged-out local making stays free: import images, edit patterns, use palettes, and export PDF or basic CSV from this browser. Create a Free account when you want sharing and attribution.

Add a creator identity to local-first making so your patterns can be shared, credited, and forked.
