For hand spinners
Spindrift is the companion app for hand spinners. Track your stash, manage projects, and calculate WPI and grist — all in one quiet, craft-focused space.
What's inside
Log your fibre with weight, type, preparation, and source. See your total stash at a glance. Add photos and notes. Know exactly what you have before you start a project.
Track every project from fleece to finished yarn. Record fibre type, wheel, whorl, and target weight. Follow progress with a simple percentage tracker.
WPI, grist, plying ratio, and shrinkage — the calculations every spinner needs, built in. No more hunting for formulas or doing maths on paper.
Record your wheels and their ratios. Know exactly which whorl you need for your target yarn weight without having to dig out the manual.
Choose your region on first launch. Spindrift uses fibre/fiber, grams/ounces, and the right spellings throughout — wherever you are in the world.
Track how long you spend at the wheel for each project. Start and stop the timer as you spin. See your total time and build a picture of your spinning practice over time.
Spindrift was built by a hand spinner with professional dyeing experience. Every feature exists because it was actually needed, not guessed at.
Design
Petal is a soft blush light theme for daytime spinning. Dusk Rose is a warm dark theme for evenings by the wheel. Switch in one tap from your profile.
Spindrift is designed to feel like it belongs in your craft space — unhurried, unfussy, and quietly lovely.

Questions
Is Spindrift really free?
Yes — the free tier is genuinely useful. You get up to 5 projects, 5 stash items, and 2 wheels, with no time limit. The spinning calculators, dark mode, the session timer, and cross-device sync are part of Spindrift Annual.
What's included in Spindrift Annual?
Everything in Free, plus unlimited projects, unlimited stash, and unlimited wheels — along with all the spinning calculators (WPI, grist, plying, shrinkage), dark mode, the session timer, and cross-device sync. It's £19.99 a year (or $24.99 in the US).
Does it work offline?
Yes. Your data is stored on your device and works without a connection. Spindrift Annual adds cross-device sync via a Spindrift account, which needs internet to sync.
What happens to my projects if I cancel?
Nothing is ever deleted. If you cancel and later return to the free tier, all of your projects, stash, and wheels are kept safe. Anything over the free limits is simply hidden from view — and the moment you resubscribe to Spindrift Annual, everything reappears exactly as you left it.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, any time. Cancel from your iPhone's Settings → Subscriptions. You'll return to the free tier, and as above, your full library stays on your device — over-limit items are just hidden until you resubscribe.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your data belongs to you. We don't sell it, share it, or use it for advertising. Read our full privacy policy for details.
What iPhones does it work on?
Spindrift requires iOS 16 or later, which covers iPhones from the iPhone 8 onwards.
