Easily generate secure, random pass phrases that even the NSA (probably) won't be able to crack, using the Diceware algorithm! The Diceware algorithm consists of rolling a 6-sided die 5 times per word in your passphrase (e.g. for a 7-word pass phrase, roll the die 5 * 7 = 35 times). Each set of 5 rolls is grouped into a 5-digit number, which is then looked up in a list of words. This allows for truly random pass phrases. Features - Generates passphrases with customizable security settings - Copy passphrase to clipboard. Saved passphrases are automatically saved to the passphrase history. - Create passphrases that satisfy website security requirements by capitalizing words or adding a random number or special character - Capitalize words DiceGen is completely free, with no in-app purchase required to use all features! Disclaimer: The algorithm actually calls for use of a physical die, but this app uses a random number generator function. These functions are not truly random, but are a great convenience over rolling a die a bunch of times!

Stop losing count. Visicount is a hands-free voice counter designed for knitters and crocheters who want to keep counting without putting down their needles. Also great for meditators, exercisers or anyone who needs to count hands-free. Use simple voice commands—just say "next"—or tap anywhere on the screen to increment your row or stitch counter. Built with accessibility in mind, Visicount works seamlessly with VoiceOver, Switch Control, and Siri Shortcuts. Knitting requires focus. Your eyes follow the pattern. Your hands work the yarn. The last thing you need is to fumble for a tiny button or look away from your needles to tap a counter. Most counter apps force you to choose: look at the app or look at your work. We built Visicount so you never have to choose. Voice control that actually works. Say any of 21 voice commands—"next," "count," "one more," "um mais"—and your counter increments instantly. Active listening means no accidental triggers. Just press the mic button to activate, speak, and keep knitting. Tap anywhere, get instant feedback. The entire screen is your tap target. Full-screen tap with a glowing ring animation and haptic buzz confirms every increment—no need to look at the phone to know it registered. Row naming for patterns. Tap the name field anytime to label your current count: "Row 5 - Cable Pattern" or "Repeat 2 - Lace Section." Your label persists as you count, so you always know where you are in your pattern. Apple Watch that stays on. Increment your counter from your wrist without timeouts, no three-tap unlocking, no fiddling. Just tap once and count. Your watch stays in the knitting zone as long as you're knitting. Export and share your progress. Save your counting history with timestamps and row names. Export via CSV to document your projects or share with knitting communities like Ravelry. 60 languages, voice and written. Truly global knitting. Commands work in Portuguese, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Swahili, Yoruba, Maori, and 40+ more languages—both voice and text. From Bavarian to Bengali to Zulu, craft communities worldwide can count in their native language. We tested this with real knitters. Users with dyscalculia, arthritis, and limited hand mobility confirmed: this works. VoiceOver users reported the interface is clean and navigation is fast. Ravelry knitters said row naming is essential for complex patterns. We listened and built exactly that. Try voice control free for 7 days. Full access to voice commands, row naming, and all features. No subscription. No ads. No surprise charges. One-time unlock keeps voice control, row naming, Apple Watch, CSV export, and 60 languages supported forever. No yearly charges. No paywalls. Buy it once, own it completely. Visicount is for anyone who wants to focus on what they are doing, instead of the counting process. Get hands-free counting. Keep your hands on your yarn.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Visicount at weekly against DiceGen's every 33 months. DiceGen's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (67 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. DiceGen sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Visicount sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for DiceGen against 5.0 for Visicount. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DiceGen has 67 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
DiceGen ships an update every 33 months, Visicount weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
