Everything about a project, in one place.
Four stages, one project
Preparation, spinning, plying and the finished yarn — each with its own notes, so you can see exactly how a yarn was made.
All the photos you like
Fiber, rolags, full bobbins, the finished skein. Add captions and put them in order, stage by stage.
What you aimed for, and what you got
Your goal yarn sits beside the yarn you actually spun, so every project teaches you something for the next.
Skein IDs that make sense
Each skein gets an ID like 10261 — month, year and number — in a format you can change. Write it on the tag and it matches your journal.
A printed page, with your yarn on it
A journal sheet for each project, with extra pages when needed, a space for a yarn sample and holes to thread a strand through. Choose the layout and what to include.
Yours, and private
Your journal stays on your phone or tablet unless you choose Cloud. No account needed, no ads, no tracking. Your own wheels and lists, your own way.

Frequently asked
Do I need an account or the internet?
No. Spin Journal works completely on your phone or tablet, with no sign-up and no connection. An account is only for Pro + Cloud.
Is it a subscription?
Pro is a one-time purchase — pay once and it's yours. Only Pro + Cloud is yearly, because keeping your journal online costs us money every month.
What are the holes on the printed sheet for?
For threading a strand of your yarn through, so the sample stays with its page. Choose how many, or turn them off.
Can I use my own wheels and terms?
Yes. Add your own wheels, and add, rename or reorder every list — fiber types, drafting styles, yarn sizes and more.
Who can see my journal?
Without Cloud, your journal never leaves your device. With Cloud, it's stored privately in your account, where no other account can read it. We and the providers that run the service can access it only to operate and support it. No ads, no tracking, never sold. See our Privacy Policy.
Can I move my journal to a new phone?
Yes. Make a backup file in the app (Settings → Back up and restore) and restore it on the new phone — photos included. With Cloud, just sign in on the new phone and it arrives by itself.
