Finally, a home for all your crafting supplies. Lattice is the craft inventory app built for makers who have too much yarn, fabric, thread, or notions to keep in their head — and too much love for their supplies to let things get lost or forgotten. MANAGE YOUR STASH Your stash is your collection: every skein of yarn, bolt of fabric, spool of thread, and bag of beads you own. Catalog each item with photos, quantities, color, brand, and location notes. Set low-stock thresholds so you always know when it's time to restock, then search and filter by category to find exactly what you need before your next project. TRACK YOUR PROJECTS From first idea to finished object, Lattice keeps your projects organized. Create a project, link the supplies and patterns you're using, set a due date, and track progress with todo lists. Keep notes on modifications, yarn substitutions, and the story behind each piece. BUILD YOUR PATTERN LIBRARY Save your favorite patterns with details like designer, difficulty level, and material requirements. Import from URLs, link patterns to active projects, and build a searchable library you'll actually use. BUILT FOR EVERY FIBER ARTIST Whether you knit, crochet, sew, embroider, or weave, Lattice is designed to handle every type of craft. One app for your whole creative life.

About

Visual Archive

Features
Read full description

Visual Archive is a visual-first item organizer built around the way people actually remember things. Most belongings do not live in neat spreadsheets. They sit inside closets, drawers, boxes, medicine kits, suitcases, and shelves. When you need them again, you may not remember the exact name — but you remember what they look like. Visual Archive is designed for that kind of memory. Take a photo, create a clean cutout thumbnail on device, and place the item where it belongs: socks inside a storage box, medicine inside a kit, cables inside a drawer, accessories inside a case. Any item can contain more items, so your digital archive can follow the structure of your real space. It is not a heavy inventory database. It is a pocket-sized visual archive. Open it and you see the objects themselves: clear thumbnails, readable shapes, and simple location paths. When you need to find something, you can follow the image in your memory instead of guessing the perfect keyword. Useful for organizing: • Closets, drawers, and storage boxes • Medicine, supplies, and spare parts • Collectibles, figures, models, and accessories • Cables, adapters, and electronics • Moving boxes and home inventory • Items you keep forgetting, misplacing, or buying twice Key capabilities: • Capture items with photos and build a visual archive • On-device smart cutout to highlight the subject • Clean thumbnails with white outlines for quick browsing • Nested item structure that mirrors real-world storage • Tags, search, and filters for faster retrieval • Expiration dates and reminders for medicine and supplies • Batch move, batch organize, and undo recent moves • Cleanup flow and attention scoring to surface forgotten items • iCloud sync and advanced capacity features available with Premium • Photo processing is designed to stay local and private Visual Archive is not about filling out more fields. It is about remembering where things are, what they look like, and whether they still deserve a place in your life. When a box is closed, its contents should not disappear from memory.
