## What is 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.
