A row counter for people whose hands are full of yarn.
$2.99 · no subscription · no ads · no account
Press with your elbow, chin, or pinkie. iPhone 15 Pro and later.
Tap the giant counter surface, then long-press anywhere to undo.
Fix accidental counts with one long press and keep moving.
Track rows, repeats, decreases, sleeves, or any custom count.
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.
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.
Not yet. On the roadmap if there's demand.
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.
No. The fastest counting 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.
It runs on iPad — universal binary — but it's designed iPhone-first. The Lock Screen widget and StandBy mode shine brightest on iPhone.
