Row counter, knitting & crochet reference, calculators — fully offline
Pletinka is a knitting and crochet companion: a fast row counter, a reference guide, stitch pattern charts, and calculators in one place. Fully offline, no sign-up, and no ads at all.
ROW COUNTER — FREE FOREVER
• A big button you can tap without looking up from your work
• Long-press for −1 when you lose count and need to go back a row
• Haptic feedback on every tap
• The screen stays awake while the counter is open
• Counts pattern repeats, not just rows: set the repeat length and see exactly where you are inside it
• Row goal with progress, plus reminders like "decrease every 6 rows"
• Your count is saved automatically
REFERENCE — FREE

• Needle size chart (metric / US / UK)
• Crochet mode: US/UK abbreviations, stitches with turning chains, hook size chart, tips
• Yarn weights by the CYC standard (0–7)
• Stitch patterns with row-by-row instructions and drawn charts with symbols and a legend
• Tips: measuring gauge, blocking, reading a pattern
• A "How to use" tab with a step-by-step guide to every feature
PROJECTS — FREE
• Up to 3 projects at a time, each with its own counters (sweater body, sleeve, pattern repeat)

• Finished works — complete a project, add a photo of the finished piece and a star rating; the gallery stays in the app
PLETINKA PRO — 7 DAYS FREE, THEN A ONE-TIME PURCHASE
No subscription and no automatic charges: pay once, use it forever.
• Gauge calculator — how many stitches to cast on for your yarn and needles
• Even distribution of increases and decreases: "I have 96 stitches, I need 72" — and you get the exact sequence
• Yarn stash: a card for every skein — name, color, fiber, CYC weight, length, quantity, photo, notes
• Yarn usage calculator — how much yarn a project needs and whether what you already have is enough
• Garment calculators — top-down raglan, round yoke, and sleeve: how many stitches to cast on and how often to increase, based on your gauge and measurements
• Chart photo with a row ruler — a highlight bar marks the current row so you never lose your place
• Unlimited projects
• Back up projects, yarn, and photos to a single file — and restore them on a new phone
• Restore Purchases — get Pro back on a new phone without paying again
FULLY OFFLINE AND PRIVATE
No accounts, sign-up, ads, trackers, or data collection. All your projects, counters, photos, and notes stay on your device. The only network contact is Google Play itself during the Pro purchase; the app never talks to any server.
Pletinka is for anyone who knits on the couch, on a commute, at a cabin with no Wi-Fi, or on a train with no signal — and just wants an app that works.
