Keep stitching. PatternAlarm tells you when something changes. Most row counters answer one question: "What row am I on?" PatternAlarm answers a better one: "Do I need to do anything different on the next row?" HOW IT WORKS 1. Add only what matters You don't enter the whole pattern. Just the rows where something changes — an increase, a decrease, a color change, a cable row. 2. Keep stitching Tap once when you finish a row. That's it. The app stays quiet and out of your way. 3. We interrupt you — but only when it counts One row before a change, PatternAlarm warns you with a clear alert and a distinct haptic buzz. You'll never look down and realize you missed the increase three rows ago. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Traditional row counters make you remember what each row means. PatternAlarm remembers for you. You focus on the craft; we'll handle the pattern. FEATURES - Increase, decrease, color change, cable, and custom event alerts - Repeating rules — "increase every 6 rows, 8 times" in a few taps - Advance warning one row before a change, so you're never caught mid-stitch - Strong haptic alerts you can feel without looking - Undo any row instantly — tap twice by mistake, no problem - Works completely offline - Project history and session stats - Duplicate a finished project for the second sleeve FREE TO START Track your first 2 projects free with every feature included. Upgrade for unlimited projects. PatternAlarm Pro: - Annual — $9.99/year with a 3-day free trial - Lifetime — $29.99, pay once Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
