Visicount

Stop losing count. Visicount is a hands-free voice counter designed for knitters and crocheters who want to keep counting without putting down their needles. Also great for meditators, exercisers or anyone who needs to count hands-free. Use simple voice commands—just say "next"—or tap anywhere on the screen to increment your row or stitch counter. Built with accessibility in mind, Visicount works seamlessly with VoiceOver, Switch Control, and Shortcuts.

Knitting requires focus. Your eyes follow the pattern. Your hands work the yarn. The last thing you need is to fumble for a tiny button or look away from your needles to tap a counter. Most counter apps force you to choose: look at the app or look at your work. We built Visicount so you never have to choose.

Voice control that actually works. Say any of 21 voice commands—"next," "count," "one more," "um mais"—and your counter increments instantly. Active listening means no accidental triggers. Just press the mic button to activate, speak, and keep knitting.

Tap anywhere, get instant feedback. The entire screen is your tap target. Full-screen tap with a glowing ring animation and haptic buzz confirms every increment—no need to look at the phone to know it registered.

Row naming for patterns. Tap the name field anytime to label your current count: "Row 5 - Cable Pattern" or "Repeat 2 - Lace Section." Your label persists as you count, so you always know where you are in your pattern.

Watch that stays on. Increment your counter from your wrist without timeouts, no three-tap unlocking, no fiddling. Just tap once and count. Your watch stays in the knitting zone as long as you're knitting. Includes a Wear OS tile showing your current count and elapsed session time at a glance — swipe to access it from your watch face.

Export and share your progress. Save your counting history with timestamps and row names. Export via CSV to document your projects or share with knitting communities like Ravelry.

60 languages, voice and written. Truly global knitting. Commands work in Portuguese, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Swahili, Yoruba, Maori, and 40+ more languages—both voice and text. From Bavarian to Bengali to Zulu, craft communities worldwide can count in their native language.

We tested this with real knitters. Users with dyscalculia, arthritis, and limited hand mobility confirmed: this works. VoiceOver users reported the interface is clean and navigation is fast. Ravelry knitters said row naming is essential for complex patterns. We listened and built exactly that.

Try voice control free for 7 days. Full access to voice commands, row naming, and all features. No subscription. No ads. No surprise charges.

$4.99 one-time unlock keeps voice control, row naming, Apple Watch, CSV export, and 57 languages supported forever. No yearly charges. No paywalls. Buy it once, own it completely.

Visicount is for knitters who want to focus on their craft. For disabled crafters seeking accessible tools. For anyone tired of counter apps built by people who've never held a needle.

Get hands-free counting. Keep your hands on your yarn.
