About this app
What StitchLog does
StitchLog is the offline knit and crochet companion for the 45 million Americans who count rows. It's the one row-counter that runs standalone on Apple Watch — no iPhone tethering required. The row-counter category is huge and broken. My Row Counter (3,600+ reviews) puts its Watch app behind a subscription and reviewers report it disconnects after 60 seconds. knitCompanion forces a $9.99/yr subscription for basic chart navigation. YarnBuddy crashes with large project stashes. None of them solves the actual problem: when you're on the couch, knitting in your lap, you can't keep glancing at your phone. What StitchLog does: — Apple Watch standalone. Tap the Digital Crown to advance a row. Haptic on every 10th row and on user-marked milestone rows. Works without your iPhone in the room. — Unlimited projects. Active scarves, sleeping sweaters, half-finished blankets. SwiftData on-device. — PDF pattern reader. Import any pattern PDF from Files/Mail; Vision text recognition extracts row markers. Tap a row line to jump there from the Watch. — Multi-counter per project. Edge stitches, repeat counter, decrease counter — track three at once. — Project journal. Photos, yarn brand, needle size, gauge swatch notes. Offline, on this phone. — No account. No subscription. No Ravelry login. One-time $9.99 if we ever charge — for now, free. For the 6.8M US Ravelers and the 45M American crafters — the row counter that respects your wrist.

Why it exists
The problem
Knitters and crocheters need a reliable row counter on the wrist, but every existing app gates the Watch feature behind a paywall (My Row Counter), forces a subscription for basic chart use (knitCompanion), or crashes with large stashes (YarnBuddy).
What's different
How StitchLog stands out
StitchLog is the only knit/crochet counter that runs as a fully standalone Apple Watch app (no iPhone tethering, no disconnect after 60 seconds, no subscription) with on-device Vision OCR of imported pattern PDFs to extract row markers — My Row Counter gates the Watch app behind a paywall and disconnects after a minut…
