My Row Counter is a popular row counting app for iOS and Android with advanced features including voice control, PDF annotations, Apple Watch integration, and customizable reminders. It has over one million downloads.

Download My Row Counter from the App Store or Google Play. The app is free with a premium subscription for advanced features like unlimited projects and PDF annotations.

Import patterns from web pages, PDF files, Dropbox, Google Drive, or directly from Ravelry. The app supports multiple formats and keeps all your patterns in one place.

Set up multiple counters to track different aspects of a project.

You can track:

  • Total rows
  • Pattern repeats
  • Increases or decreases
  • Color changes
  • Section progress

Counters can be named and customized. Use a simple counter without configuration for quick projects.

Increment your counter hands-free by speaking to the app. Just say the command and the counter advances, which is useful when your hands are full with yarn and hook.

My Row Counter turns your PDF patterns into an interactive workspace:

  • Horizontal highlighter: Keep your place line by line
  • Vertical band highlight: Useful for charts and graphs
  • Multi-line marker: Underline important instructions
  • Annotations: Add notes, circles, and marks directly on the pattern
  • Reminders: Set alerts at a specific row so you never miss a pattern change

Control your counters from your wrist on Apple Watch or Wear OS. The watch app lets you increment, decrement, and switch between counters without reaching for your phone.

View statistics on how many rows and stitches you have completed across all your projects.

The app automatically matches your device’s dark mode setting. You can also choose to always use light or dark mode.
