a row & repeat counter that remembers where you stopped
Tap once per row. Set a repeat length and it tracks your chart row and repeat for you, with a chime each time a repeat finishes. Keep several projects and counters at once. Everything saves in your browser — close the tab and pick up exactly where you left off.
Tap the big number or + to count a row
Anyone who has knit a sweater knows the small panic of setting a project down for a week and picking it back up with no idea which row you were on. The mechanical clicker on your needle does not survive being knocked off the coffee table, and the scrap of paper with tally marks always goes missing. A row counter's one real job is to remember — and that is exactly what this one does. Every tap is written to your browser the instant it happens, so you can close the tab, lock your phone, or shut the laptop, and your count will be waiting for you, unchanged, whenever you come back.
Because the count lives in your own browser rather than on a server, there is no account to make and nothing to sign in to. It is private and it works on a plane, on the sofa with the Wi-Fi off, or anywhere else you happen to knit. The trade-off is that the count is tied to the specific browser and device you used — it will not automatically appear on a second phone — but for the way most people knit, a counter that is instantly there and never asks for an email is the right one.
The feature that turns a plain tally into a knitting tool is repeat tracking. Most patterns are built on a repeat — a lace or cable chart that runs a fixed number of rows and then begins again. Counting raw rows and doing the division in your head is exactly the kind of arithmetic that goes wrong at row 137 with a glass of wine in reach. Set the repeat length once and the counter does that division on every tap: it tells you the row within the current repeat and how many full repeats you have finished, and it makes a sound the moment a repeat closes so you can keep your eyes on your hands.
A goal adds an end in sight. Tell a counter you want 120 rows, or 15 repeats of the chart, and a progress bar fills as you climb. When you arrive, the counter marks itself complete — useful for “work even for 6 inches” sections where you have converted inches to a row count, or for a blanket where you know the repeat count from the start.
And because real projects are rarely one number, you can run several counters in a single project. The big counter at the top is whichever one you last tapped; the list below shows them all at a glance, each with its own plus and minus, and tapping any of them promotes it to the top. That makes two-at-a-time sleeves, a body-plus-edging, or a colourwork chart sitting alongside a shaping count all manageable from one screen.
Count at the same moment every row — most knitters tap right after completing a row, before starting the next — so a glance at the number always means the same thing. If you put the project down mid-row, finish the row first or leave a note in the counter name, because the counter only knows about whole taps. Use the minus button the instant you notice an over-count rather than trying to remember the correction later; it is faster than recounting and Undo is there for the genuine fat-finger tap.
Turn on Keep screen awake for long stretches so the display does not dim every thirty seconds — it asks the browser to hold a wake lock while the page is open and releases it automatically when you switch away. If you knit in a quiet room, the repeat chime is worth leaving on; if you knit in front of the television, the vibration buzz may suit you better. Both are independent toggles in Settings, so you can have a silent buzz, an audible chime, both, or neither.
Although it is built around knitting language, the counter is really a saved, repeating tally, and it is just as happy counting crochet rows and rounds, beads in a brick-stitch row, rows of a cross-stitch chart, laps in a pool, sets in a workout, or repetitions of anything that comes in cycles of a fixed length. If you have ever wanted a clicker that survives a reboot, this is that clicker.
Yes — that is the whole point. Every count, project, and setting is saved to your browser's local storage the moment it changes, so when you come back hours or days later your place is exactly where you left it. Nothing is uploaded; the data lives only in the browser on the device you used. Clearing your browser data or using private/incognito mode will reset it.
Yes. Each project can hold as many counters as you like — for example one for the body, one for each sleeve, one for an edging, and one for a lace chart. Tap any counter to make it the big primary counter, or use the plus and minus buttons on each one in the list. You can also keep several separate projects and switch between them.
Either — it's your choice, per counter. In Counter settings, set what the counter shows: Completed counts the rows you've finished (after row one it reads 1), while Current row shows the row you're working now (it reads 1 before you've finished anything, then 2, and so on). Pick Current row when your pattern is written as “on row 6, do…” so the number on screen matches the row in the instructions. The setting only changes the display; your saved progress, goals, and repeat chimes are unaffected.
Set a repeat length — the number of rows in one pattern repeat, such as 8 for an eight-row lace chart. As you count, the app shows which chart row you are on (Row 5 of 8) and which repeat you are working (Repeat 3). When a repeat completes it rolls the chart row back to 1, counts the repeat, and plays a short chime so you know without looking. Leave the repeat length at 0 for a plain straight count.
Yes. Give a counter a goal in either total rows or number of repeats, and a progress bar fills as you go. When you reach the goal the app marks it complete and gives a little celebration. The goal is optional — leave it at 0 to count open-endedly.
If you turn on Keep screen awake in Settings, the app asks your browser to hold a screen wake lock so the display does not dim or sleep while the page is open. This uses the standard Screen Wake Lock API and works in most modern mobile browsers; where it is not supported the toggle simply has no effect. The lock is released automatically when you switch away from the page and re-acquired when you return.
Yes. Tap Undo (or press U) to reverse the last count change or reset — the app keeps a short history of your recent actions. The minus button also steps a counter back by one at any time.
No. It works just as well for crochet rows and rounds, and for anything that needs a saved, repeating tally — beading patterns, exercise sets, laps, tasks, or tally counts. The repeat feature fits any cycle of a fixed length.
On a device with a keyboard: the Plus and Equals keys count the active counter up by one, the Minus key counts it down, and U undoes the last change. When the plus or minus button is focused, Space and Enter activate it too. Shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a name or number field.
No account and no cost. There is no sign-in and no email field. The tool is free, and everything you track is saved only in this browser.
Once the page has loaded, the counter runs entirely offline — counting, repeats, goals, and saving all work with no connection. You only need to be online to load the page the first time or to visit other pages on OmniAppHub.
