Stitchlog
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stitchlog is a thoughtfully designed knitting tracker for makers who want a calm, beautiful space to log projects and reflect on their time spent stitching. Whether you are knitting socks, sweaters, or something entirely your own, Stitchlog helps you keep track of every project from start to finish. Record when you begin, mark when you complete, and organize your knitting in a way that feels simple and clear. Pattern sizes are automatically detected and highlighted, so you can instantly see which size you are making without manually marking up your pattern. Add notes, create highlights, and use built-in counters for rows or repeats — all customizable to match how you knit. Stitchlog also lets you see your knitting over time. View your activity by year, month, week, or day and watch your progress build stitch by stitch. Explore breakdowns by category or time spent and see what truly defined your knitting year. At the end of the year, export your “Year in Stitches” summary and share it — a beautiful reflection of the projects you completed and the time you dedicated to your craft. Designed with a minimal Scandinavian aesthetic, Stitchlog offers warm and cool palettes, optional pastel highlights, and support for light and dark mode. The interface stays quiet so your knitting can take center stage. Stitchlog does not collect data. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. All projects, notes, counters, and settings are stored locally on your device. Your knitting stays yours.
