iPhone
Count rows from the Lock Screen, the Action Button or Control Center. Stricksy keeps track of repeats, decreases and your stitch count. The app is in German.
Stricksy is the knitting row counter that thinks along. You only count rows, and repeats, decreases and increases, the stitch count and right or wrong side follow from that one number.
The app is in German.
COUNT WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR NEEDLES DOWN
• One big button for +1, a small one to undo
• A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island with +1 and −1
• "Reihe +1" on the Action Button, the Lock Screen or in Control Center
• "4 min ago" tells you whether you already tapped
• The screen stays on while a project is open
COUNTERS THAT MATCH YOUR PATTERN
• Every counter is a block: "8 rows, decrease in the first, 40 times"
• Stricksy tells you when the next decrease or increase is due, with a banner and a haptic
• Steps one after another: "step 3 of 8", the next one starts with a tap
• Stitches on the needle follow from the cast-on and every decrease and increase
• Right and wrong side rows for flat knitting, rounds for socks and hats
• Second sleeve or second sock: "next part" copies all counters
YOUR PATTERN ALWAYS AT HAND
• Scan pages, pick photos or a PDF, or paste text
• If the pattern lists several sizes, pick yours and every number follows
• Re-read the pattern in the project, "Hier bin ich" remembers your place
• Select a passage and turn it into a counter
WITH APPLE INTELLIGENCE
• Create counters from a pattern: Stricksy reads it and sets up parts and counters for you to check before saving
• Ask Stricksy questions about your project and see the matching passage of the pattern
• Both run on your iPhone and need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer with iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence turned on
SEE YOUR PIECE
• Your piece drawn as knitted fabric in true proportions, with the needle at the current row
• Hats, socks and sweaters in 3D as well
• Yarn colors, stripes and gradients for every project

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
What's new:
• Statistics: rows per day and week, streaks, knitting time and pace, for all projects or just one, with a forecast of when you'll finish
• Knitting time on its own: Stricksy works it out from your counting, and the stopwatch stays for knitting you don't count
• Mark projects as finished; finished projects get their own section
• Yarn usage: note how many balls you used per color, halves included
• New home screen with project tiles, and all parts of a project on one page
• Recount: check your rows or stitches by hand, even without looking, and see if everything matches
• 3D models for every part of your pattern
• Color changes with the yarn color on the Lock Screen
• DROPS patterns are read better
• The Live Activity closes with the project or the app and comes back the next time you open them, until you turn it off
