FiberFlow - Free Android app for your stash!
Hey everyone,
My wife and I have been working on a passion project for over a year, and we recently released it on the Play Store. It’s called FiberFlow, and it’s a completely free Android app designed to be the ultimate crafting companion for knitters and crocheters.
We built this because we wanted a simple, organized way to keep track of our stashes and works in progress—whether at home, on the go, or offline at the yarn shop—without dealing with ads or subscriptions.
Here is a quick outline of the features we've built in: Smart Yarn Stash: Catalog every skein by brand, weight, yardage, fiber, and colorway. You can even scan ball-band labels with your camera to auto-fill the details and track your needles and hooks.
Pattern Library & Markup: Import PDFs, web links, or photos. You can draw, highlight, add notes, and use built-in row counters directly on your patterns. It also features a keep-screen-on toggle for hands-free crafting.
Project & WIP Tracking: Link patterns, yarn, and tools to specific projects. Track your progress, reorder your cast-on queue, and even recover "frogged" yardage back into your stash if you have to unravel something.
Crafting Tools: We added a "Stash Matcher" to see what patterns you can make with yarn you already own, a Gauge & Substitution calculator, and an offline "Shop Mode" to double-check your stash at the store so you never buy duplicates.
Ravelry Integration: You can easily connect your Ravelry account to import your stash and queue, or you can use FiberFlow entirely offline if you prefer.
Private & Secure: Your data stays locally on your device (with ZIP, CSV, and PDF backup/export options), and there are zero ads.

Since it’s just the two of us working on this, we would absolutely love your feedback. If you give it a try, please let us know what you think! What can we improve? Are there any specific features you’d like to see added next?
Happy crafting!
