26I want to change my settings

Language, notifications, assisted features, and account options

Before you start
1
Open Settings
Stash2Go settings screen showing all configuration options

Open the Settings tab. It is laid out in sections: Appearance (colour theme, appearance, assisted features), Privacy & Security, Account, Preferences (language, offline, sync with server), and Notifications & Interactions. There is a search icon at the top as well. Tap it, type what you are after, and it takes you straight to the right screen.

2
Choose your language
Language selection screen showing available languages

Stash2Go speaks 26 languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish. Pick yours and the whole app follows, craft words included: stitch names, yarn weights, needle types.

You can also set it to System, and it will follow whatever your device is set to. If that language is not one of the 26, the app uses English.

Tip: Every translation is read through by hand for craft accuracy. Knitting and crochet words are put into the language properly, not run through a machine. In German, for instance, a pattern is an “Anleitung”, which is what knitters there actually say.

Pick how much of the app you see
Simple Mode - streamlined home screen with essential tiles only Full Mode - complete home screen with projects, stash, community, and all features

View Mode offers three, not two. Simple View (left) puts the advanced things away: the Feed, Stash Matchmaker, Assisted Search, Forums, Color Palette, Yarn Pooling and the detailed statistics. It keeps projects, stash, patterns and your queue. See Everything (right) shows the lot. Legacy View is the third, for people who liked the older Stash2Go: one page per area, no tabs, and its own way into the tools from Settings.

Tip: The view mode is remembered per kind of device. Phone, tablet and web each keep their own, so you can browse simply on the phone and keep everything on the computer. Only televisions and in-car screens are fixed. New to Stash2Go? Start in Simple View, and switch when you want more.

Metric or imperial
Unit Preferences setting to switch between Metric and Imperial measurements

Switch between Metric and Imperial. It changes how gauge is written (stitches per 4″ or per 10 cm), how needles are sized (mm or US numbers), and how yarn is measured (yards or metres). Pattern search filters, stash details and project info all follow whichever you pick.

5
Be told about messages and replies
Notification settings for Ravelry messages and forum replies

You can be notified about Ravelry messages and about forum replies. Each has its own switch. With one on, your device tells you as soon as it happens, so a message from a friend or a reply to your post does not sit unread.

Background checking decides whether Stash2Go looks for new messages and replies while it is closed. There is no timing to choose. Switch it off if you would rather the app only looked while you were using it. On Android there is a Battery Optimization row too: some phones stop background checks unless the app is allowed to run unrestricted.

Tip: Your device also has to give Stash2Go permission to notify you. If nothing arrives, look at your device's own notification settings.
6
Assisted features
Assisted Features settings with toggles for Yarn Scan, Stashing, Yarn Estimator, Suggested Comments, and Search

The assisted features take on jobs that are dull or impossible by hand: reading a yarn label off a photo, or turning a sentence in your own words into search filters. Each one sends what it needs through the Stash2Go server to OpenAI, and the answer comes back the same way. Your device never talks to OpenAI itself.

Every one of them is off until you switch it on. Each has its own switch, and each says exactly what it sends: yarn scanner, photo stashing, assisted search, yarn estimator, suggested comments, PDF pattern translation, PDF auto-setup, the Bobbin assistant, Magazine, Studio colour tools, the Colour Swatcher and video captions.

One more switch sits at the top of the screen: Turn AI off completely. While it is on, none of these features runs, none is even offered, none can be switched on, and nothing is sent. It starts off, because every feature below it is already off on its own.

Tip: The full list, with what each feature sends and where it goes, is in our privacy policy. Section 12 is the one that covers assisted features.

Your account and your privacy
Account and privacy settings with data export, permissions, and beta program options

Your crafting data stays between you and Ravelry. Stash2Go is a private window onto your Ravelry account. It does not sell your data, and it does not keep personal data on its own servers beyond what running the service needs.

The free app is paid for by advertising. You can switch off Personalized Ads here. You still see ads, but they are no longer picked for you. In the EEA and the UK, Ad Privacy Options reopens your consent choices, and Manage Google Ads opens Google's own controls. To be rid of ads altogether, go premium. For one day without them, watch a short video: Remove Ads for a Day.

Two more switches sit in Privacy & Security, and you can turn both off. Usage Analytics sends nameless events that show us which parts of the app get used. Error Tracking sends crash and error reports. Neither carries your crafting data.

The rest of the account and privacy settings:

Export DataDownload your project data as CSV, JSON, or a file Excel can open.

Delete AccountRemove your Stash2Go account data. Your Ravelry account is not touched.
