Rows & Stitches
Add a row without unlocking your phone
Rows & Stitches puts a live row counter on your iPhone Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can add a row without unlocking. You stay in your show, and your hands stay near your work.
It is built for people who lose count when a phone gets in the way of a project. The Lock Screen counter comes with the free version.
How Rows & Stitches does it
- Start a project and add the counters it needs, such as rows or repeats.
- Use the Live Activity on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
- Tap to add a row each time you finish one. Your phone stays locked.
- Add a Home Screen widget too if you want your next row a glance away.
- Fix a stray tap with shake to undo, or turn on confirm-before-decrease.
Questions
What projects does it work for?
It is made for crochet and knitting, and also suits cross-stitch, amigurumi, granny squares, weaving and any project counted in rows.
Can I read a pattern at the same time?
Yes. Inside the app you can read a pattern beside your counter. You can import a PDF, scan a printed pattern with your camera, or save one from the web.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no account and there are no ads. Free iCloud sync backs up your projects and counters.
