## What is Hankko Friends?

Hankko Friends is a knitting timer with a tiny friend who knits along with you.
Press start, and a small friend picks up their needles next to you. The minutes you knit turn into buttons you can spend on patterns, yarn and little outfits for your friend.

A FRIEND WHO KNITS WITH YOU
- Start with Momo the cat and Coco the dog. When you start knitting, so do they.
- More friends are waiting. Lulu the rabbit is a launch gift, Popo the hippo is the 7-day check-in gift, and Cheese the mouse joins after 10 hours of knitting together. Mimi, a blue-gray Persian, can be brought home with an in-app purchase.
- Spend buttons on patterns and colored yarn; your friend knits the piece and keeps it in their wardrobe. Dress them in what they made.
- Decorate a wide, scrolling room with furniture, and tap the floor to call them over.

KNITTING TIME, RECORDED
- Track time per project and see how much you knitted each day on the calendar.
- Time keeps counting while the screen is off.
- A full-screen timer shows just the big numbers.
- The running timer and your knitting friend appear on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (iOS 16.2 or later).

REST REMINDERS
- Every 30, 45 or 60 minutes, a 5-minute stretch alarm. Skip your rests and your friend turns into a turtle!
- The alarm uses sound and vibration while the app is on screen.

KNIT WITH YOUR PATTERN
- Open an image or PDF pattern. Keep a highlight bar on the row you are knitting and move it one row at a time.
- Scribble notes on the pattern with four pen colors and three widths.
- Each project remembers its own pattern file.

OPTIONAL ACCOUNT
- Everything works without an account; your records stay on your phone.
- Sign in with Apple or Google to keep a cloud copy and continue on another device.
- You can also export a backup file.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No ads. No sign-up required.
- Available in English and Korean.
