Multi-Device Counter
Synchronize saved project counts.
How Multi-Device Counter Works?
The Multi-Device Counter works by tracking the Sync State of a count and the number of Active Devices you use. Each device stores its own counts in its own browser, so you carry the number over by hand when you switch devices.
Note the count
Read the count on the device you are leaving.
Open the same tool
Open the same Stitches Counter tool page on the next device.
Enter the count
Tap or use Step by 10 to bring the count up to the same number.
Log the switch
Press → to count the devices in use for this project.
Multi-Device Counter Formula
The Multi-Device Counter formula is taps to restore = ⌈count ÷ step size⌉. Larger steps restore a big count faster.
- Taps to restore
T = ⌈C ÷ s⌉C is the count and s is the step size.
- Fine adjust
Adjust = C mod sFinish with Step by 1.
- Devices
D = Active DevicesD is the number of devices that hold a copy.
Worked example: Restoring a count of 1,437 takes 143 taps at Step by 10 and 7 taps at Step by 1, 150 taps in all.
Multi-Device Counter Conversion Table
The Multi-Device Counter conversion table shows taps needed to restore a count at 3 step sizes.
| Count | Step 1 | Step 10 + Step 1 |
|---|---|---|
| 45 | 45 | 4 + 5 = 9 |
| 120 | 120 | 12 + 0 = 12 |
| 368 | 368 | 36 + 8 = 44 |
| 750 | 750 | 75 + 0 = 75 |
| 1,437 | 1,437 | 143 + 7 = 150 |
| 2,600 | 2,600 | 260 + 0 = 260 |
Keep one device as the main record and treat the others as copies.
What is Multi-Device Counter?
A Multi-Device Counter is a setup for keeping one project's count across a phone, tablet and computer. Stitches Counter stores counts in each browser's local storage, which does not sync between devices.
Moving the number by hand takes a few taps with a large step size. Private, on-device storage means no account and no upload.
