Purlwise Knitting Row Counter

Finished a project? Purlwise now shows what it took (time, rows, parts and sessions) with a photo of your finished piece to share. No ads, no subscription.

Never lose your row again. Purlwise is a row counter and pattern tracker for knitting and crochet — made to be used with yarn in your hands.

COUNT FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN Start a Lock Screen counter and tap + without unlocking your phone. Your count updates everywhere, instantly.

ONE BIG TAP The whole counter is a button. Tap anywhere to add a row, with a gentle haptic so you don't have to look. Undo any mistake. The screen stays awake while you work.

PATTERN REPEATS THAT COUNT THEMSELVES Add a repeat counter — “row 3 of 8” — that moves with your rows, starts over at the end of each repeat, and tallies how many you've done. Add separate counters for stitches, decreases or cables.

YOUR PATTERN, WITH A ROW RULER Import a PDF, or a photo or screenshot of a chart. Slide the highlighted ruler down as you go — or let it move automatically every time you count a row. Purlwise remembers your spot in every project.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No ads. Everything is stored on your device, with a one-tap backup file you can save to iCloud Drive or Files — free, for everyone.
