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.

You know the feeling of starting a new character in your favorite RPG. You're weak. You have no idea what you're doing. Every skill is at level 1. Then you start playing. Levely brings that feeling to real life. It's a focus timer that turns the time you spend practicing real skills into RPG-style progression. Pick a skill, set a timer, and focus. When the session ends, you earn XP and your skill gets closer to the next level. Levely can't tell whether you practiced well, or hard, or at the right difficulty. No app can, not without watching you far more closely than you'd like. So XP doesn't measure how good you are. It measures that you sat down and gave something your full attention, and for how long. A CHARACTER SHEET FOR REAL SKILLS Every skill has a level, an XP bar and a history. Watch them climb slowly, unevenly, the way real progress actually goes. EARN YOUR TITLE Earned through hours of focus. Nothing is handed out. NO STREAKS No chains to break, no guilt, nothing to protect. Miss a week and your levels are exactly where you left them. Progress isn't linear, and an app that punishes you for that is measuring the wrong thing. SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT Week, month and year views show where your time actually went and which skills got it. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Your most recent skills, their levels and the week's practice — in three sizes. SYNCS PRIVATELY Your practice syncs across your devices through your own iCloud. No account, no sign-up, no server. I can't see any of it, and I don't want to. ONE PURCHASE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Levely is free with up to three skills. One purchase unlocks unlimited skills, the Home Screen widget and extra themes. No subscription. No recurring charge. Pay once and it's yours.
