📱

Lock Screen + StandBy

The current row follows you everywhere — even when the phone's face down.

Every other row counter app makes you put down your knitting to tap a number.

Threads count is built around a single insight: knitters and crocheters have both hands busy. Every feature exists to keep you out of your phone.

$2.99. Once.

Questions

Will it work with my pattern?

Threads count tracks counters, not patterns. You can run it alongside a printed pattern, a PDF in another app, or a tablet on the side. A built-in PDF pattern viewer is on the roadmap.

Does it sync to Ravelry?

Not yet. On the roadmap if there's demand.

How does the voice control work?

Apple's built-in on-device Speech framework. The microphone listens for the keywords "next", "back", and "switch". Audio never leaves your phone — you can verify this in Settings → Privacy → Speech Recognition.

Why not free with ads?

Because ads and accounts and analytics are exactly what makes other counter apps annoying. $2.99 once is a fair trade. I'd rather make 1,000 happy customers than 100,000 unhappy ones.

Is there an Android version?

No. The hands-free features rely on iOS-specific hardware and software like Action Button shortcuts, Live Activities, widgets, and StandBy. A cross-platform port would not preserve what makes Threads count Threads count.

What about iPad?

It runs on iPad — universal binary — but it's designed iPhone-first. The Lock Screen widget and StandBy mode shine brightest on iPhone.
