PPRows
A macOS app that calculates lines of code across multiple files and folders with customizable file type detection.
What is PPRows?
PPRows is a macOS application that calculates the total lines of code written across files and folders. It helps developers track coding productivity by supporting multiple programming languages, ignoring empty lines, and allowing custom folder exclusions for accurate measurements.
Mac developers and programmers who want to analyze their codebase size, track personal coding output, or measure project complexity across various file types.
PPRows offers a simple drag-and-drop interface with customizable detection settings, providing accurate line counts while ignoring irrelevant folders and blank lines—all in a free, open-source macOS app.

It Can Calculate how many lines of code you write on Mac ; 在Mac上计算你写了多少行代码
Use Cases
Best For
- Measuring total lines of code in personal programming projects
- Analyzing codebase size across multiple file types (C, Swift, Java, etc.)
- Tracking developer productivity over time
- Ignoring dependency folders like Pods in iOS projects
- Quick code metrics without complex IDE integrations
- Comparing code volume across different programming languages
Not Ideal For
- Projects requiring cross-platform code analysis on Windows or Linux systems
- Teams needing integrated, real-time code metrics within their IDE or development workflow
- Use cases demanding advanced code quality metrics beyond simple line counts, such as cyclomatic complexity or dependency analysis
Pros & Cons
Pros
Users can quickly calculate lines of code by dragging files or folders into the app window, making it effortless to use without complex setup.
Supports various programming languages like C, Swift, and Java, with options to add custom file extensions for flexibility in code analysis.
Excludes empty lines from calculations, as noted in version 1.2.0, providing a more realistic measure of actual code written.
Automatically switches between Chinese and English based on system settings, catering to a wider user base without manual configuration.
Cons
The app is exclusively available for macOS, leaving Windows and Linux users without native support, which restricts its usability in mixed environments.
Focuses solely on line counting without offering additional metrics like code complexity or duplication analysis, limiting its value for in-depth code reviews.
Each analysis requires manual drag-and-drop, lacking automation or integration with continuous integration pipelines for seamless workflow integration.
