Rowloom is a row and stitch counter for knitting and crochet, built for hands that are busy holding yarn. Big buttons, crisp haptics, and everything stays on your device. One purchase, no subscription: every feature is included. NEW IN 4.0 • Count from the Lock Screen: put any project's counter on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with + Row and Undo buttons that work without opening the app. • Siri and Shortcuts: say "Add a row in Rowloom", "Undo a row in Rowloom" or "What row am I on in Rowloom". In Shortcuts you can pick the project and add several rows at once. • Gauge & sizing per project: save the pattern gauge and your swatch (per 10 cm or 4 in) to see how long your piece is at the current row, how many rows are left to a target length, whether to change needle size, and pattern stitch and row counts converted to your gauge. One tap sets the counter's target to match. • Safety copies: Rowloom saves a copy before deleting a project, deleting everything or importing a backup, and you can restore it from Settings. • My Counter widget for the Home and Lock Screen, and a Control Center control that opens your latest counter. • Larger Text support throughout, higher-contrast text and the new system tab bar. COUNTING • Tap the big button to count a stitch; the row advances automatically at your stitches-per-row, or count rows only. • Multiple named counters per project for body, sleeves, repeats and increases. • Linked counters that move with the main counter, and repeat-reset counters that cycle and count completed repeats. • Pattern-repeat notes per row, row reminders, milestone haptics and optional hands-free counting with the volume buttons. • Focus timers, project stats, a materials list and a finished-objects log. PATTERN READER Import an unencrypted PDF pattern, move a highlighted row guide, keep an independent reader row and save named checkpoints so you can pick up where you left off. A manual reading aid: no chart recognition and no automatic counter changes. OFFLINE REFERENCE Needle and hook sizes, yarn weights, abbreviations, cast-on, shaping and gauge calculators, and technique notes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Projects stay on your device; export a JSON backup whenever you like. The Home Screen widget and control never show your project data; the Lock Screen counter shows only the project you choose to put there. iPhone and iPad.
