## What is Strikk?

Strikk is a knitting app with row counters you can use from the Lock Screen, and one calm place for your projects, patterns and yarn stash. It works fully offline, with no account, no ads and no tracking.

Free, no catch, forever:
• Unlimited row, stitch and repeat counters, each with its own − and +
• Count from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island: Show on Lock Screen, under a project’s counters or your quick counters, puts that list’s top two there
• Count a Row from Control Center or the Action button, or say “Count a row in Strikk” to Siri
• At-the-same-time reminders, like “dec 1 st each end” every 4th row, sit on the counter and stand out when they are due
• Up to three projects, each with photos, notes, its own counters, and the yarn and needles it uses
• Unlimited yarn and needle stash: scan a ball band photo, or take a yarn’s colour from a photo
• Write your own patterns and read them row by row
• Import pattern PDFs and photos of pattern pages, and keep them
• Your own categories for patterns and projects

Strikk Pro — one payment, yours forever, no subscription:
• Digitize: turn a pattern PDF or photo into a structured pattern you read row by row. Strikk’s own deterministic parser does the reading, with no AI model writing your pattern, on any iPhone running iOS 26, and anything it is not sure of goes to a review screen instead of being guessed
• Optional on-device AI refinement for the sections the parser set aside (needs an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence — iPhone 15 Pro or newer; on a phone without it, the purchase screen says so before you buy)
• Resize a pattern’s stitch counts to your own gauge, with every changed number explained. Sections it can’t resize safely keep their original numbers and are flagged
• Hand your own patterns to the AI chat app you already use, and bring the answer back, checked row by row against the original — works on any iPhone
• “What can I make from my stash?” scores your patterns against the yarn you own
• Unlimited projects

Strikk never connects to the internet on its own. Your patterns, photos, stash and notes stay on your iPhone unless you send them somewhere yourself. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to cancel: buy Pro once, and it stays bought.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-11-06

Easier to see and use:
• The selected filter now shows a check mark, not just a colour.
• At the largest text sizes, filters wrap onto several lines, so the selected one stays in view.
• With Reduce Motion on, the step number in the pattern reader no longer rolls.
• Strikk can now open straight to Counters from a link.

### 1.2 — 2026-11-02

New in 1.2: count from the Lock Screen.
• Tap Show on Lock Screen below a project's counters or your quick counters, and the top two go on the Lock Screen, with − and +, and in the Dynamic Island. Remove from Lock Screen takes them off, and so does marking the project Finished.
• Count a Row: add the control to Control Center or the Action button, or say “Count a row in Strikk” to Siri. Both count the counter you used last.
• Every counter now has its own − and +. Touch and hold one to Move Up or Move Down: the top two are the ones on the Lock Screen.
• A new icon: a Selbu rose on knitted fabric.

Also new, from our testers' suggestions:
• Projects in progress now come first. Prefer another order? Choose it under Sort By.
• A project with an imported pattern and no photo of its own shows the pattern's first page.
• The original pattern is one tap away in the project.
• Zoom in on photographed pattern pages, as on PDFs.
• Take Colour From a Photo: tap the yarn in a photo, then Use Colour.
• Add a yarn with the same brand, name and colour number as one already in your stash, and its colour fills in.
• A pattern reading that stopped partway now shows on the pattern itself instead of in a banner above your list.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-30
