An offline-first, privacy-respecting stash tracker and project planner for the modern fiber arts enthusiast and professional.
Three frustrations that add complexity — and how Needle Minder makes them disappear.
Stand in the store aisle and check your stash by number or family. Owned colors are obvious; shortages are flagged. Stop coming home with a third skein of a color you don't need for your project.
Open a project, see exactly which colors are reserved, ready, or short. Catch the missing skein the night before — not three rows in.
Retreats, flights, road trips, cabins, the corner of a quilt shop with no bars. Needle Minder runs entirely on-device. Nothing to load, nothing to wait for.
Adding a skein takes a few seconds. Search any supported catalog by color number or shade name, pick the match, set how many full or partial skeins you have, and it drops straight into your stash.
Type a number or shade name and the full color record — family, shade name, manufacturer — comes with it.
Mark a leftover as a partial skein. Counts stay accurate when you reserve threads for a project.
The whole catalog lives on your phone. Nothing is uploaded — search and add work fully offline.
Needle Minder keeps your data on your device, protected by your phone's built-in security. No account signup, no tracking, no analytics. Backup and restore are built in — and the backup file is yours to keep.
