Threads count

Features
Read full description

Threads count is a row counter for people whose hands are full of yarn. The app is built for real knitting and crochet sessions: quick to open, easy to read from across the table, and useful when you are working from a pattern. Version 2.2 adds Yarn Runway: a loop-perimeter yarn planner that totals project pieces against your stash, remaining skeins, and a live “will this yarn last?” verdict. Open it from the Runway button on the project counter. Ways to count: - Big tap counter: tap the large counting surface to advance, long-press to undo, and use haptics to keep rhythm without staring at the screen. - Action Button and Shortcuts: advance, undo, or switch counters from Shortcuts on supported iPhones. - Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, StandBy, and widgets: keep the current row visible outside the app. - Multiple counters: track rows, repeats, decreases, sleeves, panels, or any other count inside one project. Pattern-aware tools: - Yarn Runway: plan pieces, total yardage against stash, and see remaining skeins on the counter. - Pattern Navigator: paste row notes such as "Row 12: begin shaping" and Threads count shows the matching instruction on the counter screen as you advance. - Repeat tracking: set an 8-row, 12-row, or chart repeat and see the row inside the current repeat. - Row reminders: add one-time or recurring reminders for color changes, shaping, lifelines, or measuring. - Gauge & Cast-On calculator: turn a 4-inch swatch into cast-on counts, row counts, gauge substitutions, shaping instructions, and rough yarn planning. Project tools: - Track project photos, notes, targets, and completion status. - Log timed sessions and see rows-per-hour and minutes-per-day charts. - Keep a yarn stash and needle or hook inventory on-device. - Work offline with no account, no subscription, no ads, and no analytics. Threads count runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later. Action Button use requires supported hardware and a Shortcut assignment in Settings.

Threadline is a private relationship journal for remembering the people, dates, conversations, and moments that matter to you. Create a personal profile for someone you’re getting to know. Keep a timeline of dates and conversations. Save places, time spent together, milestones, expenses in the currencies you choose, and the details you want to remember next time. REFLECT YOUR WAY Choose from thoughtful prompts or create your own metrics. Record how you felt, whether communication felt easy, what gave you energy, or anything else that matters to you. Threadline keeps each metric separate. It does not rank people or tell you who is “best.” PREPARE WITH A PRIVATE BRIEF Before your next date, quickly revisit the last interaction, pinned details, open questions, current relationship stage, and recent rhythm. Your brief is built locally from information you chose to save. NOTICE PATTERNS, NOT VERDICTS Explore clear, local statistics about interaction rhythm, time together, personal reflections, tags, stages, and spending by currency. Every insight shows its date range and sample size. There are no compatibility verdicts, diagnoses, or relationship decisions. BUILT FOR PRIVACY • No account or public profile • Journal data stays on this device unless you choose to export it • App Lock with Face ID or Touch ID • Privacy cover when the app leaves the foreground • Sensitive private text encrypted on device • No third-party advertising or behavioral tracking SDKs FLEXIBLE FROM DATING TO RELATIONSHIP Use custom stages, tags, milestones, and reminders while dating. When a relationship becomes your focus, switch to Relationship Mode without losing the history that brought you there. CORE FEATURES • Private profiles and timelines • Fast Quick Log for dates and conversations • Custom stages, milestones, tags, and reflections • Time, place, duration, and multi-currency expenses • Private Brief before the next interaction • Local charts and transparent statistics • Relationship Mode and local reminders • Readable data export and deletion controls • Password-encrypted backup, verification, and replace-only restore Threadline is a private journal and personal organization tool. It is not a dating, matching, messaging, surveillance, medical, or therapy service. Some features require Threadline Pro. Available plans and prices are shown in the app before purchase. Annual subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. A one-time Lifetime option is also available. Readable JSON/CSV exports are plaintext. Password-encrypted backups can be verified and restored; restore replaces the destination journal and is not automatic sync. Photo attachments are not included.
