Its design is straightforward enough for those who just want an easy way to keep track of numbers, but it’s also great for designers who need to take notes and pictures while creating a pattern. You can manage multiple projects at once and share your progress. Stitch Count was created with knitting and crocheting in mind, but it can easily be used for any project that involves multiple steps.

— Meet the nested habit — Nested habits are grouped within a goal, so your tracking can reflect the way you actually live. Say your goal is to work out three times a week. Sometimes you run and sometimes you go to yoga. Nest Run and Yoga under Workout, and doing either one counts as completing a workout. Or set a goal that requires every nested habit. Your Nighttime Routine includes Take Vitamins, Wash Face, and Read. The routine then only checks off once you've completed them all. Nested habits give you the flexibility to track different ways to reach a goal or every step required to complete it. — Keep a journal — Add a journal entry to any habit to capture your thoughts, reflections, or progress. Every entry collects in the Journal tab, a searchable archive of everything you've written. Try Daily Gratitude, Goals for the Week, or Book Review. — Streaks that forgive — Miss once and your streak holds: a daily habit forgives a day, a weekly habit forgives a week. Going on vacation, or home sick? Pause the habit and your streak survives on purpose. — Nested does not collect your data — We collect nothing. There are no accounts, servers, analytics, ads, or third-party trackers. Everything you create in Nested lives locally on your device and personal backups. — Also inside — - Weekly, monthly, and yearly summaries - A calendar to track progress - Home screen widgets - Eight themes in light and dark mode - A daily reminder when you want one - Compatibility with iPhone accessibility features
