Finally, a craft project tracker that works for everyone. Whether you knit, crochet, sew, do ceramics, woodworking, embroidery, macrame, or any other craft, Krafio is your visual project journal. BEAUTIFUL PHOTO JOURNAL Log your progress with photos after every session. Watch your project come to life as you scroll through your timeline, and turn it into a timelapse. ROW COUNTERS Count rows, repeats and decreases right inside your project. Tap anywhere on the big counter screen, set a goal, and the screen stays on while your hands are busy. PATTERN FILES WITH A ROW MARKER (Pro) Keep your pattern PDF or chart photo with the project and follow it line by line with a movable row marker. Krafio remembers where you left off.
