Row counters & patterns for knitter
Knittle is a knitting and crochet journal application designed for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Its primary function is to help crafters track their projects by maintaining row counts, patterns, and notes in a single organized space. The app is free to download and does not require an account to use, though an optional premium subscription unlocks additional features. It supports private iCloud sync for users who choose to enable it. The core features of Knittle include a row counter with a large tap target for easy counting, a project management system that organizes items by status (in progress, planned, or finished), and a progress ring that visually indicates how close a user is to a set target. The app also tracks stitch counts and repeating motifs, such as K2P2 patterns, and includes a simple timer for each session. A 7-day chart and a lifetime total display the user's making rhythm. Users can attach pattern notes, gauge swatches, and PDFs or photos of patterns directly to their projects. A typical workflow in Knittle begins with adding a project by giving it a name, picking a color, and optionally setting a row target. The user then counts rows as they work, with the option to add a photo when a milestone is reached. Projects are saved and remain accessible upon return, with no streak or guilt mechanics to maintain engagement. On the Apple Watch, the row counter, project list, and session timer are available directly from the wrist, and the project stays in sync with the iPhone. The app is designed to feel unobtrusive, with a gentle interface that allows users to count rows without putting their work down.
