Stitrow: Needle Setup Log

What it does

Add a sewing machine, a serger, an embroidery machine, or another machine, and type an hour limit of your own. You can also note the needle type, size, and brand. The field starts at 8 only so the box is not empty. That 8 is not a rule and does not mean the needle is worn out. When logged hours reach your number, the bench marks the needle due. Replacing the needle resets those hours to 0 and keeps older sessions. Deleting a session subtracts its hours and does not go below 0.

A session needs a machine, a date, hours from 0.1 to 24, and a fabric. Thread, stitch, tension, and a note can be blank. You can label the result.

Type a fabric this machine has sewn before, and Stitrow shows the needle size, tension, and result from the latest match. Stitrow does not recommend which needle to buy, and it does not decide whether a machine is safe to use.

A new machine starts with oil at 90 days, lint cleaning at 30 days, and shop service at 365 days. Change any interval from 1 to 3650 days, mark it done today, delete it, or add a custom item and name it yourself. The next date is the last day you marked done, plus your interval. Stitrow does not say the machine needs service.

The first launch adds sample machines. Remove them in Settings. Only rows still marked as samples are deleted. A sample machine you have edited is kept, with its history.

The daily due reminder is optional, stays on the phone, and is not exact. It needs notification permission. About once a day it can say a needle is at your hour limit or a care item is due. Logging still works if you leave it off.

How a session works

Stitrow is a sewing log that stays on this Android phone. It records hours on the needle in each machine, the tension, needle, thread, and stitch that worked on a fabric, and care intervals you set yourself. This version is free: no account, no ads, and no in-app purchase. It does not request internet permission and works offline.
