StashCache

Geek Eclectic

About this app

Patterns. Threads. Fabric. Embellishments. All part of the cross stitching stash - especially when you accidentally buy something for the second time because you couldn't remember if you had it on hand.

Enter StashCache. Written by a cross stitcher for cross stitchers, this app aims to help you keep track of what you own and what you need for your next pattern. Enter information directly into your phone or tablet, or type it up on your computer and import it! If you input the materials list for a pattern, you can mark it as kitted and the app will check your stash to see what supplies you don't have on hand.

Of course, you can also keep track of when you started a project and what fabric that particular finish was on, as well as the substitutions you made. And your data is always yours! Easily export it as a human-readable text file for back-up or sharing. Export just the information for one pattern to share with fellow stitchers. A built in fabric calculator tells you what size fabric you need for the pattern, based on defaults you enter. The best part? It's all free to you!

Give it a try and see if StashCache helps you keep track of what you have and need.

Ratings and reviews

It is a little clunky. I used another thread tracker when I had an iPhone and only recently decided to move the inventory list to my Samsung. This app is probably a good thread tracker but creating the list is a little more clunky than I would like. If you don't mind manual entry then this is the app for you, because there are features that I do like such as the ability to show a project as kitted.

unable to sort entries by number order. spent a huge amount of time entering floss data and some is in order and some isn't. not very intuitive interface. can only track floss by full skein and not yardage used.

so far I really like this app, it has allowed me to organize my thread stash and where I have it located. plus, I am not doubling up on thread colors I already have. I do wish that I could attach pictures of the projects, that would be a nice addition.
