## What is Purlbook?

Purlbook is the knitting and crochet companion that keeps counting even when your phone is locked.

COUNT WITHOUT UNLOCKING
Start a counter and it lives on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island as a Live Activity. Tap +1 between stitches without opening the app, and see your row at a glance from any screen.

COUNTERS THAT UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERN
Rows, rounds, stitches, repeats. Link a repeat counter to your row counter so it advances by itself every N rows. Set a target and watch the progress bar fill. Undo the last tap when you miscount. Big one-hand buttons, haptic feedback, and the screen stays awake while you work.

PDF PATTERNS THAT REMEMBER WHERE YOU WERE
Import any PDF pattern. Drag the row marker to the line you are working on, highlight sections, zoom into charts, and jump between pages with thumbnails. Close the app, come back tomorrow, and the pattern opens exactly on the row you left.

PROJECTS WITH EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
One card per project: counters, pattern, notes, photos of your progress, and the yarn and needles you used. Pin the project you are working on today. Mark it finished, hibernating, or frogged.

YARN STASH AND NEEDLE INVENTORY
Log skeins with brand, weight, colour, yardage and photos, and assign them to projects. Keep your needles and hooks by size and type so you never buy a duplicate again.

WIDGETS
Put your current counter on the home screen and lock screen. Tap to count.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No cloud. Everything stays on your iPhone. Purlbook makes no network requests of its own.

PURLBOOK PRO
The free version includes 2 active projects, 2 counters per project and 1 pattern PDF. Purlbook Pro unlocks unlimited projects, counters and patterns, unlimited stash and tools, the lock-screen Live Activity counter, widgets and CSV export. Annual with a 7-day free trial, monthly, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
