Purlio: Row counter

Which row, where in the pattern, what to work on this row.

When a row is finished, tap the large "Row done" button; Purlio moves the count on, shows which pattern row you are on with its instruction, advances linked counters and reminds you of what is due. Flat pieces are counted in rows, pieces in the round in rounds.

Key features

Row done
A large button in the middle of the screen; Space or Enter also move to the next row, "−" goes back one row and "Go to row…" jumps straight to a row. With a total number of rows entered, rows left and progress are shown. A short vibration on tap on devices that support it.
Pattern repeat and instructions
Enter how many rows the pattern repeats over and which row it starts on, and write an instruction for each pattern row. As the counter moves on, the pattern row, the repeat number and that row's instruction are shown; for flat pieces, right side / wrong side too.
Pattern chart
An optional grid chart (up to 80 stitches × 120 rows). Knitting symbols: knit, purl, knit through back loop, cable back / front, yarn over, knit two together, slip slip knit, make one, slip, no stitch. Crochet symbols: chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, increase, decrease, magic ring. With a legend; the current row is highlighted on the chart.
Extra counters
For things counted separately from the main counter: counted by hand (balls of yarn used, motifs), counters that go up each time the pattern starts again, and counters that move "every N rows" (e.g. a decrease every 6 rows; enter the first row and how many times). You are told when a counter is due.
Row reminders
Write tasks for a given row, such as "Row 50: open the pocket"; when that row is reached, a notice appears and devices that support it vibrate. The next reminder is shown in advance.
Screen on and knitting time
The screen stays on while a project is open (can be turned off in the settings). Knitting time is kept per project; it starts by itself when "Row done" is pressed and is paused with its button or the T key.
