Accounts and signing in
Signing in to StitchPress saves your diagrams and patterns to your account so you can pick up your work from any device. This page covers how to sign in, what an account gives you, and how to change the interface language.
Creating an account and signing in
Section titled “Creating an account and signing in”StitchPress uses a hosted sign-in page. When you open the app without being signed in, you are taken to the sign-in screen.
You can sign in in two ways:
- Continue with Google — sign in with your Google account in one click.
- Email address — enter your email and continue to sign in with it.
The first time you visit, StitchPress asks which optional cookies it may use. You can change your answer at any time under Settings → Privacy & Cookies. Links to the Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and open-source Licenses are at the bottom of the sign-in page.
What an account gives you
Section titled “What an account gives you”Working while signed in unlocks the parts of StitchPress that need somewhere to keep your work:
- Saved projects. Your crochet diagrams, knit charts, and patterns are stored in your account instead of only on the device you made them on.
- Sync across devices. Your work is kept up to date automatically. A crochet diagram or knit chart open in two tabs, or on two devices, updates in both as you work.
- Sharing. You can create view-only links to your diagrams and invite specific people to see them. See Sharing your diagrams.
- AI assistants. You can connect Claude or ChatGPT to build diagrams with you. See Connecting your AI.
Managing your account
Section titled “Managing your account”Select your account picture in the top-right corner to open your account menu. From there:
- Manage account opens your profile, where you can update your name, email, and sign-in options.
- Settings opens the Settings page. See Settings and preferences.
- Sign out signs you out of StitchPress on this device.
You can also review your account details under Settings → Account.
Language settings
Section titled “Language settings”The StitchPress interface is available in three languages:
- English
- 繁體中文 (Traditional Chinese)
- 日本語 (Japanese)
To change languages, open Settings → Appearance and choose a language under the Language heading. Your choice previews immediately; press Apply to keep it, or Discard to go back. Before you sign in, you can switch languages from the language menu in the top-right corner of the sign-in page.
This help site follows the same choice: the Help link in the app menu opens it in the language you are using.
