Purl.

Purl is the ultimate companion for knitters and crocheters. Everything lives locally on your device, with no account, no sign-up, and no ads. All features are completely free, always.

PROJECTS • Track what you're making, from planned to finished. • Add yarn, needle or hook size, and the gauge you actually got.
• View a timeline of all your projects. • Add progress photos with personal notes.

PATTERNS • Keep your own written patterns and imported PDFs in one library. • Open PDF patterns, even very large ones, and pinch to zoom, fully offline. • Draw, highlight, add sticky notes, and drop bookmarks. • Row counters and a chart stitch tracker built for following along.

YARN STASH • Log your yarn with color, dye lot, weight, fiber, and gauge. • See your stash totals in meters and grams. • Sort and filter to find the right yarn, and match it to a pattern in your library.

HANDY TOOLS • Quick standalone counters for anything you need to count. • Craft calculators for gauge, resizing, shaping, and calculation total skeins needed. • A built-in chart maker: design your own chart from scratch, or let Purl generate them directly from a photo. • A comprehensive knit and crochet glossary in both English and Norwegian.

MADE TO FEEL RIGHT • Available in both English and Norwegian. • Switch between light and dark mode. • A two-pane layout on iPad and larger screens. • Easily backup and restore everything to a single file.

Purl is completely free, with no locked features. If the app helps you, there is an option to leave a tip on the Support Purl page, but nothing is ever put behind a paywall.

And lastly, your data stays yours: it lives exclusively on your device unless you actively choose to export it.
