Touché is the essential iOS app for crochet enthusiasts, designed to track projects, manage patterns, and visualize progress on your iPhone or iPad.
Effortless Project Management
Create up to 10 projects with details like project name, hook size, yarn info, and notes. Upload PDF patterns (up to 25MB) for automatic section and row detection. Edit projects anytime, with data stored locally via Core Data.
Pattern Viewing & Row Tracking
Switch between two tabs: PDF Viewer with pinch-to-zoom (2x-10x) for clear pattern reading, and Row Tracking with checkboxes, enlarged current row text (18pt min), and green checkmarks for completed rows. Progress bars show section and project completion.
Organized WIPs & Gallery
Manage up to 10 active projects in the WIP tab. Archive completed projects (up to 75) to the read-only Gallery with photos and PDFs. Capture one completion photo per project, savable to your photo gallery.
Secure Backup & Restore
Export projects, PDFs, and photos to a ZIP file via iCloud Drive, Files, or AirDrop. Restore by merging with existing data, all offline with no cloud sync.
Simple & Private
Sign in with Apple ID, with no third-party integrations or analytics beyond iOS crash reporting. Camera access for photos handles permissions gracefully. No subscriptions, social features, or yarn shopping.
