Privacy

Your data lives on your device. Period.

Knitter's Library keeps your stash, projects, needles and notes on your own device. There's no account to create, nothing to log in to, and nothing of yours sitting on our servers.

What we don't have

• No account.
• No email of yours.
• No password we store.
• No analytics about how you use the app.
• No record of what's in your stash.
• No idea who you are.

How sync works without us seeing it

When you connect a second device, your phone and tablet share data through a small relay we run — but it only ever sees encrypted bytes. The key that unlocks them never leaves your devices; it comes from a 12-word recovery phrase that only you hold. So even though we run the server, we genuinely cannot read your library. That's not a promise about what we choose to look at — it's a property of how it's built.

Why we built it this way

A knitter's stash is personal — years of choices, money, and plans. We didn't want to be one more app that quietly hoovers that up. Subscription apps have made privacy fragile: your data becomes the thing held over you. We'd rather not hold anything.

The trade-off we made for you

Because of this, there are things we genuinely can't do: we can't email you, we can't restore your library if you lose your recovery phrase, and we can't show you "knitters you might know." We think that's the right trade. If you don't, we completely understand.
