What you can do
Who it is for
For knitters and crocheters who count body and sleeve rows separately or want to check their progress after a break.
Each part, ready for its next row
Count rows and repeats separately for the body, sleeves or ribbing. Add one-off or repeating instructions for increases, decreases or other work, and see what comes next based on completed rows. Undo an accidental count.
Your pattern beside the counter
Count alongside a PDF or image pattern. Use landscape, Focus and Fit width, then resume each part and page with its saved zoom, reading position and manual guide. The original file stays unchanged.
Photos with their row count
Take or choose a photo to keep the part and row count from that moment, and collect finished photos in an album. Photos are optional; the pattern viewer and counter work without them.
A ZIP backup that includes your patterns
Export and restore projects, part counters, row instructions, notes, photos and attached patterns together. The backup also includes your saved pattern reading position. No account or subscription is needed.

Questions, answered
When does a row instruction appear?
The counter shows completed rows. After completing row 11, you see instructions registered for row 12. Each part can have one-off or repeating instructions. The app does not send push notifications or advance rows automatically.
Can I count while reading a PDF pattern?
Yes. Attach a PDF or image through the Android file picker and count on the same screen. Reading position and a manual guide are saved. The app does not recognize instructions automatically or annotate the original file.
How do I move my work to another phone?
Export a ZIP backup of project records, photos and patterns on the old device, then restore it on the new one. Row instructions and saved reading positions are included. There is no automatic cloud synchronization.
Do I need an account or internet connection?
Counting, row instructions, pattern viewing and photo records work offline without an account. Records and files stay on your device and are not uploaded automatically.
