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. CRAFT TOOLS Knitting needle and crochet hook size charts (mm, US, UK), a gauge calculator that tells you how many stitches to cast on, and a yarn calculator that tells you how many skeins to buy. All offline. MATERIAL & STASH TRACKER Never buy the same yarn twice. Track your materials, stock levels, and get shopping list reminders when you run low. PROGRESS TRACKING Track progress by percentage or section-by-section. Add a "where I left off" note so you always know exactly where to continue. Duplicate a project to start the next one with the same materials and patterns. COST CALCULATOR Know how much your project costs. Track material prices and time spent to price your work fairly, especially if you sell your work. SHARE YOUR WORK (Pro) Generate before/after share cards for Instagram and Pinterest. WORKS OFFLINE Your projects are always available, even without internet. Everything syncs automatically when you're back online. Perfect for knitters, crocheters, sewers, quilters, ceramicists, woodworkers, leather crafters, painters, macrame artists, embroiderers, and everyone who makes things with their hands.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Loanchy at none against Krafio's 3. Krafio's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
