StitchWIP vs StitchCount

StitchWIP is a cross-stitch tracker for iPhone and iPad, built for stitchers who want their whole craft in one place. Track every WIP, log your stitching sessions (stats are calculated automatically), organize your floss stash, and hit your goals — whether you have one project or twenty. TRACK YOUR PROJECTS Log every WIP with stitch counts, fabric details, progress photos, and session logs. Set deadlines and let StitchWIP calculate your daily stitch pace automatically. Cataloging a whole pile of WIPs? Quick Add lets you enter each one with just a name and stitch count — and keep adding without leaving the screen. Track Stitch-A-Long (SAL) schedules with part tracking, release dates filled in from your schedule, and release date notifications. Record the designer and the artist behind each piece, and mark your full coverage projects. Crop and rotate your progress photos, and pinch to zoom in on your stitches. Record frog log entries when you rip out stitches so your progress history stays accurate. Every project gets its own stats too — sessions, hours, personal records, and a projected finish date. LOG YOUR SESSIONS Record every stitching session with time spent, stitch count, and notes. Correct or delete a past session at any time and your totals update automatically. The Session Tracker holds on to your count and timer if you step away. MANAGE YOUR STASH Organize your full stash — DMC threads by color number and quantity, fabric, needles, and other supplies. Adding several colors at once? Use Bulk Add. Save your pattern library. Build a wishlist so nothing you love slips through the cracks. Your stash and projects work together. Give a project a thread list and it checks your stash: need 3, have 2, buy 1, with a shopping list ready to share. Stitch from one shared master set or kit each project: kitted floss goes to the project you started first, so later ones know what's spoken for. Fabric in your stash shows which project it's assigned to. TOOLS FOR EVERY STITCHER · Color Charts — browse the full DMC range and see which colors are already in your stash · Session Tracker — tap to count stitches with a running session timer · Fabric Calculator — calculate exact fabric size for any design at any count, including a border · Thread Estimator — estimate skeins needed by stitch count and strands, then create a shopping list · Time Calculator — see how long a pattern will take at your own stitching speed · Project Wheel — can't decide what to stitch next, what to start, or what to buy from your wishlist? Spin to pick · Goal Tracker — daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly; set targets that update automatically from your projects and sessions · Reference — fabric counts, stitch types, needle sizes, and thread tips all in one place BEAUTIFUL STATS Monthly, yearly, and all-time stats show your total sessions, hours stitched, stitch counts, streaks, and finish rate. Every past month opens out in full. Share any month as a stat card, or export your stats as a PDF to save, email, or print. MADE FOR iPAD TOO StitchWIP works on iPad in portrait or landscape, and you can keep it open in a window beside your chart while you stitch. Using an iPhone and an iPad? Export a backup on one and import it on the other: the sessions, photos, and edits from both are merged, and you see exactly what will change before anything does. DESIGNED FOR YOUR CRAFT StitchWIP is built specifically for cross-stitch — not a generic crafting app with cross-stitch added on. Designed by a stitcher (me) to match how stitchers actually work. · Multiple themes including light and dark mode · Deadline reminders and daily stitch pace notifications · Works offline — your projects live right on your device Free to use with up to 3 projects, 30 stash items, 10 wishlist items, and 5 patterns. StitchWIP Pro unlocks everything with a one-time unlock: pay once and it's yours. The first time you tap a Pro feature, you get a 7-day free trial.

StitchCount keeps your place in a written crochet or knitting pattern. Import a pattern you own, confirm whether it uses US or UK terms, and count rows on your device, so an evening that gets interrupted ends with one glance at the row you were on instead of a recount. WHAT STITCHCOUNT DOES • Imports a written pattern: a PDF with a real text layer, a photo of the page, or text you type in yourself • Checks the pages first and says plainly whether the wording can be read, before anything is sent or spent • Asks whether the pattern uses US or UK terms, explains each abbreviation beside the wording it came from, and leaves the designer's text exactly as printed • Splits the pattern into sections with AI, and points every step back to the page and the exact wording it was quoted from • Runs its own checks on row numbering, repeat counts and cross-references, and keeps guided counting locked on any section whose steps cannot be traced back to the page • Counts row by row on your device, saving every tap as you make it, with undo and a reopen that lands on the row you stopped at • Leaves symbol-only charts alone: they are not organized, so you read the original and count them by hand, at no cost THREE STEPS 1. Import a pattern you own. PDF text and photo text are read on your device. 2. Confirm the terms, then organize the sections you want, or skip that and count by hand. 3. Count rows. Every tap is saved, undo is always there, and reopening returns you to the same row. PURCHASE OPTIONS StitchCount is free to download and starts with a small number of AI credits. Organizing one section uses one credit, and the number of sections is shown and accepted before anything is sent, so AI use stays limited to the credits you hold. Weekly Premium is an auto-renewing weekly subscription that includes AI credits every week. Credit packs are separate one-time purchases and their credits do not expire. Local Pro is a one-time purchase for local features only, namely keeping more than one project, backing your projects up to a file and exporting a source summary, and it adds no AI credits. Counting by hand, the project you are counting now, undo and recovery stay free. Prices are shown before payment, and purchases can be restored. DATA AND TRUST No account is needed to count. A PDF's text layer is read on your device, and text in a photo is recognized on your device. The pattern wording is then sent to The Sky Bringup AI service to be split into the sections you confirm. StitchCount only organizes the words you give it: it does not replace the designer's copyright, stitch instructions or safety guidance, and it never claims the pattern itself is correct. Your projects, rows and undo history stay on this device. Import only patterns you own or are authorized to use. Pick your pattern up where you left it.
