RowNest
RowNest
Count rows from the place your hands already are — your wrist, your Lock Screen, or a widget. Tap once for one row.
Coming soon to theApp StoreRowNest is a row counter for knitters and crocheters. Make a counter, tap the big face, and your spot is saved on every single tap — pick a project up after a day or a month and the count is exactly where you left it. There is no quiz before you start.
The counter lives where your hands already are: a standalone Apple Watch app that works even when your phone is locked or in another room, a Lock Screen counter, and an interactive Home Screen widget. Advancing a row never means unlocking your phone and finding an app.
Every project gets its own counters, colors, and notes, and everything counts fully offline. iCloud sync is available but off by default, so nothing leaves your device unless you say so.
A standalone Apple Watch app tallies rows with a tap, even with your iPhone locked or out of reach.
Advance the counter from the Lock Screen or an interactive Home Screen widget without unlocking your phone.
Give every work-in-progress its own counters, colors, and notes, and switch between them freely.
Each tap writes your spot immediately. Set a project down for a month and the count is still right.
Count on a plane, a train, or the couch — no connection needed, ever.
Big readable digits, a soft haptic click on every tap, and a proper dark mode for evening rows.
Create a project, name it, pick a color, and add a counter — or several, for rows and pattern repeats.
One tap is one row, on the big phone face, the watch, the Lock Screen, or a widget. A soft haptic confirms each count.
Every tap is saved instantly. Search the project name from Spotlight and jump straight back to its counter.
Yes. RowNest's watch app is standalone — it counts rows on its own, even when your iPhone is locked, charging in another room, or left at home. Your wrist is usually right next to the needles anyway, which makes it the fastest place to tap.
The reliable method is to count the row the moment you finish it, in something that saves immediately. RowNest writes your spot on every single tap, so an interrupted evening or a dead battery never costs you the count — the number is exactly where you left it.
Yes. RowNest puts a counter on the iPhone Lock Screen and in an interactive Home Screen widget, and both advance with a tap — no unlocking, no finding an app with yarn over your fingers. It is one tap between stitches.
Keep a separate counter per project, so a sweater on pause never contaminates the sock count. RowNest gives every project its own counters, colors, and notes, and Spotlight search jumps you straight to the right project by name.
Yes. A project in RowNest can hold several counters — one for total rows, one for the pattern repeat, one for increases — each tapped independently. That mirrors how patterns are actually written.
RowNest does, completely. Counting, projects, and notes all live on your device, so a plane, a cabin, or a subway car changes nothing. iCloud sync exists as an option, but it is off by default.
Yes — amigurumi is round after round, which makes a one-tap counter essential. RowNest counts rounds the same way it counts rows, with per-project counters so each toy or part keeps its own tally, and notes for stuffing or color-change reminders.
Two habits cover it: count every finished row immediately, and leave yourself a note about where you are in the repeat. RowNest handles both — the count saves on every tap, and each project carries its own notes, so a month-long pause is a non-event.
Yes, three ways: tap the Apple Watch app, tap the Lock Screen counter, or tap the interactive widget. All of them advance the count without a single unlock.
RowNest does not. You open the app, make a counter, and tap — there is no account, no quiz, and no onboarding interview. Your projects stay on your device unless you deliberately turn on iCloud sync.
Yes. RowNest answers every tap with a soft haptic click, so you feel the row register without looking away from your needles. Combined with the large digits, a glance is enough to confirm the count.
Yes. RowNest has a proper dark mode and large readable digits, so evening couch knitting works without a glowing white screen. The Lock Screen and watch counters are glanceable in low light too.
One tap, one row — and your spot is always saved.
