Rowmark counts rows without opening the app. Put +1 on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, on the Action Button or on a Home Screen widget — and keep your hands on the needles. No account, no ads, no subscription. Just your projects, the row you're on, and a big +1. The app, the Home Screen widgets and the Lock Screen counter all have −1 too, for the row you counted twice. FREE • Small Home Screen widget with +1 and −1 — tap it without opening the app • As many projects as you like • Attach a pattern (PDF or a photo of a paper chart) to a project and keep a row marker on it while you count — the marker moves with +1 • In the app: a target ("78 rows to go") and a repeat counter ("every 6 rows" — where you are in the repeat) ROWMARK PRO — one-time purchase, no subscription • Lock Screen counter (Live Activity): your count with +1 and −1 on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and in StandBy. iOS keeps it running for up to 8 hours at a time; start it again from the app. • Controls (iOS 18 or later): "+1 row" in Control Center, as a Lock Screen button, or on the Action Button (iPhone 15 Pro and later) • Medium and Large widgets: where you are in the repeat and progress to your target, with +1 and −1 • Lock Screen widgets: your count and a gauge to your target PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. Your projects stay on your iPhone. • Only anonymous usage counts are sent (which parts of the app are used) — never project names or row counts. You can turn this off in Settings. Rowmark is a counter first: no pattern shop, no community.
