Craftinery FAQ

Craftinery App helps you manage craft projects, from instructions and supplies to stages, progress and work time. Craftinery Lab is a separate, planned product for designing ideas. This website is informational, not a browser version of App.

Access to the first Android tests is being prepared. Recruitment for that group is closed; invited testers will receive a separate email with installation and getting-started instructions. Testing and the public launch have not been announced as started.

No. Recruitment for the first group is closed. Interest in the app’s ongoing development is separate and does not give you a place in this round.

No. The first group is limited. Signing up and confirming an address do not constitute an invitation; invited testers will receive the next steps separately by email.

Using Craftinery with your own projects and sharing bugs, unclear actions, hard-to-find features and missing solutions. Invited testers will receive further information.

Android phones and tablets. iOS, desktop and browser versions of App are not part of this stage.

Yes. Contact privacy@craftinery.com or use the unsubscribe link in an email you received.

No. Existing data and consents are not automatically changed. Messages can only be sent within the consent given; this is not automatic enrolment in a new list.

Pricing and the final payment model have not been decided. Taking part in testing does not determine the later offer.

App manages projects, supplies, files and work. Access to its tests is being prepared. Lab is a separate, planned product for designing ideas.

Manage projects across techniques, stages, items and independent progress for each copy. Counters, resume points, sessions separating work and breaks and the reader help you continue. Inventory includes locations, lots, assignments, actual consumption, tools and history. Shopping also handles partial deliveries. Calendar, inspiration, notes, photos, costing, exports and backups support the project; use only the tools you need.

The Craftinery App interface is available in Polish and English. Changing the language also switches the Help, FAQ and legal documents. Your own project names, notes and files stay in the language in which you added them.

Yes. Access to the test version is linked to a Craftinery account. The installation file alone is not enough to open the protected version of the app.

Core work runs locally after successful access verification, for up to 24 hours since the last successful check and no longer than the access entitlement remains valid. Sign-in, sync, missing-file and model downloads and online barcode lookup require a network connection.

A working copy is kept in the app’s private area on your device. Account data and selected files are also synchronised with Craftinery’s private cloud infrastructure, which is based on Supabase.

Yes. You can use the same account on an Android phone and tablet. When both devices are online, Craftinery synchronises your data between them.

Yes. One device controls the session at a time, but you can take it over on the other device and continue working. The handover requires an internet connection.

Craftinery should not quietly replace one version with another. If it detects a conflict, it may pause synchronisation and ask which data you want to keep.

No. Synchronisation keeps your devices up to date, while a backup is a separate copy saved in a location you choose. It is worth creating one before changing devices, importing a large amount of data or restoring an earlier copy.

Yes. You can select a valid backup and restore your data from it. Restoring may replace your current data, so the app warns you before the process begins. A backup is linked to the account that created it.

Yes. The “Delete all Craftinery data” option removes projects and other data linked to your account while leaving the account itself and its app access in place.

Craftinery supports photos and PDF, TXT, DOC and DOCX files. You can keep them with a project and open them while you work. More complex DOC or DOCX files may look different depending on how the document was created.

No. Your projects and files are not public or shared with other users. Data is processed only as needed to run and synchronise the app, keep it secure and provide support.

No. The current version does not contain advertising or marketing profiling.

Photos and files can be selected through Android’s system picker. Camera use for photos and scanning is optional. The microphone is only needed after permission and explicit activation of local Polish or English voice controls. This Vosk / Alpha Cephei feature does not save or upload recordings or transcripts. Models need downloading; saved data and files sync with your account. Notifications and the overlay require the relevant Android permissions.

Notifications can work outside the app, but require Android permission. Delivery and sound also depend on channels, Do Not Disturb, silent mode and battery saving; the system may delay an alarm.

Use the password recovery option on the sign-in screen. The email sent to your account address will let you set a new password and return to the app.

In the app, choose Settings > Account > Delete account, or use the account deletion page. Uninstalling does not delete your account or cloud data.

Yes, if you use them for your own purposes and the designer’s licence allows it. Adding a file to Craftinery does not give you the right to share the pattern with other people.

Email support@craftinery.com with the app version, your device model and a short description of what you did before the problem appeared. Do not send your password or private files unless I have agreed a secure way to share them with you.

You can find Craftinery on Instagram as @craftinery and on Facebook under the name Craftinery.

No. Catalog defines products, including ones you do not own. Inventory records actual stock, locations and assignments. Adding a Catalog product does not increase stock.

No. Assign supplies, record actual usage separately and return leftovers. Return a reusable crochet hook rather than consuming it.

Yes. Record the quantity actually received. Confirm the product, variant, unit, location and lot before increasing Inventory. Receive an earlier delivery later from its history without recording the same delivery again.

On-device OCR suggests label fields for review. Product codes search your own data first; optional online databases cannot cover everything. QR opens your own location on the correct account, not public access to stock.

No. Attaching instructions is separate from structural import. Compatible-PDF import is implemented, but current Help still describes it as in preparation and advises against important work before readiness is announced. The website converter is not released.

No. They are an app layer. The original pattern stays unchanged; sharing the original alone may not transfer annotations.

Not automatically. Record drying, cooling and similar activities as separate processes. Process duration is not active work time.

Active work time and your rate, known consumed-material costs and additional expenses. Missing data is not zero cost. This is not accounting or an invoice.

No. Publication records keep a link. Photo movies are simple MP4 files to save and share separately. Shopping lists and low-stock prompts do not buy anything automatically.

Built-in Help has 22 Polish and English topics. The website guide has 32 searchable topics, from a first project to Inventory, voice and backups.
