StitchStash helps you organize your embroidery floss, match colors across brands, and plan every project, so you never accidentally buy the same skein twice. Multiple brands, one stash: Browse and search the full color catalog of every supported brand. Keep track of every thread you own and how many you have. See what's in your stash from any screen. No more guessing at the craft store. Mix several brands at once or focus on just one, and keep your whole collection in a single organized stash. Currently supported brands include DMC, Anchor, Cosmo, Olympus, CXC, Madeira, J. & P. Coats and Sullivans. Compare & convert between brands: Found a pattern in DMC but stitch with Anchor? Open any color to see the closest matches in other brands, so you can swap with confidence and never hunt for a substitute again. Color Matcher: Found the perfect color in a fabric, photo, or painting? Match it to thread in the brand you prefer: • Snap or pick a photo, then tap to sample any color • Pinch to zoom up to 10x for precise sampling • Use the color picker or enter a hex code • Get the closest matches ranked by accuracy You can also create a complete palette of up to 10 colors from a photo! Shopping List: Build a list of the threads you need. Use multi-select for bulk actions, swipe to move threads into your collection after buying, or export your list to Apple Reminders. Project Management: Plan and track your projects from start to finish: • Add a photo and attach a PDF pattern • Assign the threads you need with quantities • See which threads you own, which are missing, and which are on your shopping list • Add all missing threads to your shopping list in one tap • Add updates over time and keep track of how long you've worked on a project with the built-in timer Project Tools: Use the Fabric Calculator to work out the fabric size for your pattern based on your stitch count, fabric count, and preferred border. Use the Skein Calculator to estimate how many skeins your project needs. Pattern Tracker: Open your PDF pattern to zoom and pan in close. StitchStash remembers exactly where you left off. Go Pro to draw right on your pattern and mark off what you've finished with draw, erase, and undo. Sync across devices: Your collection, shopping list, and projects sync automatically via iCloud. Update your stash on iPhone and see it on iPad. StitchStash is built by a fellow stitcher for anyone who wants a simple, focused way to manage their threads without the clutter.

Great app for 5$ ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-21* We don’t have a Michael’s or Hobby Lobby anywhere near me (in Germany) so whenever I find a shop that sells DMC (rare) or is having a sale on them (even more rare), I buy as many as I can. The problem is I don’t know what I have at home. I don’t think anyone does, really. So a whole bunch of floss was stacking up at my place and I decided enough was enough. $5 for an app that doesn’t have a subscription strategy or tracks everything I do inside and outside the app? I’d say it’s worth it. I organized my skeins and then started going through the app adding however many I had (no surprise DMC 310 is the winner and B5200 takes the second place but third goes to DMC 35 which was a bit of a shock since it comes up so rarely in the patterns I do) and building my inventory (or collection as it’s called in the app). All told, I currently have 177 colors and 287 skeins. Adding more is easy, as is subtracting when you finish a bobbin. I think the hardest part is going to be remembering to keep it updated as I stitch so for that reason it stays on the front page of my phone. Anyway, it’s a clean app that’s easy to use and satisfies a need I had. I like that it’s a one-and-done purchase and it doesn’t track me. For $5 this feels like an absolute no-brainer to me. ### 5/5 — The best DMC organizer *2026-05-27* Highly recommend ### 1/5 — Basic version unusable *2026-04-25* The basic version only lets you store 5 colors to your collection, making it utterly pointless. It also uses AI slop images in its graphics. **Developer response:** Hey! Sorry to hear about this. I made the basic version indeed a bit limited to try it out, but I’ve tried to make the Pro version (in my opinion) affordable enough and just a one time purchase instead of a subscription. An alternative would be to include ads in the app, but that would inevitably mean selling user data and I really don’t want that. Since making apps is my full time job as an independent developer, I also need to make money to maintain and improve the app. I use an external program for my paywall, where I could select this image which I found very fitting. That is the only place where an image as such is used, as no other graphics are used (only the colors for the threads that I’ve manually put it). Once again, I’m very sorry to hear this. A one star review is very damaging for the discoverability of the app, so if there is anything I can do to help you change your opinion about the app, please let me know! I’m very happy to help. ## Frequently asked questions about StitchStash ### What is StitchStash used for?
