A simple row counter that is easy to use from the first tap. Open it, tap to count each row or round, and pick up exactly where you left off. There is nothing to set up first. Give each part of your project its own counter: the body, a sleeve, the rounds of an amigurumi head. Set a target when you know how many rows you need, and let a repeat counter follow your pattern repeats. Count from your Apple Watch or your lock screen without reaching for your phone. Open your PDF pattern beside your count and slide a guide down the chart as you go. With iCloud, your projects follow you to iPad and Mac. See your rows and active days today, this week and over time, with a breakdown by project. Your statistics are saved on your device. A week with three active days keeps your weekly streak going, and milestones mark your progress. No ads, and no account to create. Pattern PDFs and iCloud sync for projects and statistics are available as an in-app purchase.
