Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. By default, any project you create in MustStash is private and only visible to you. If you choose to share a project, it becomes visible to the wider MustStash community, where others can see it, be inspired by it, and create their own versions. You are always in control. You decide which projects stay private and which ones you share.

Yes. MustStash works on phones, tablets, and computers. We have iOS and Android apps, and everything is synced in the cloud, so what you add on one device is available on all your others.

Premium upgrades are only available on our website. Once you upgrade, your Premium account works everywhere: on the web, iOS, and Android. This keeps things simple and consistent no matter which device you use.

Most crafters don't bother keeping a database of their stash because it takes too much time. A few try low-cost apps with barcode scanners, but those give minimal data including a product name and image. You still have to create all your own tags and search for inspiration separately. Others use general note-keeping or database apps, which can cost much more, but building and maintaining a stash that way can take months of work.

MustStash is different. Creating your personal database couldn't be easier. Adding existing products is just one click. One of our early stashers added more than 3,000 products on her first day. Doing that by hand would have taken hundreds of hours. If you come across a product that isn't in the system yet, all you need to do is add the name, company, product type, and one image. MustStash takes care of everything else. That includes search tags, filters, and categorization. Once a product is added, everyone can use it, not just you. Instead of thousands of people doing the same work in separate personal silos, we do it once together and the whole community benefits.

On top of that, MustStash connects your stash to inspiration. Projects show you every product used. You'll see YouTube videos and community projects linked to products. Pinterest-style galleries are already sorted for you. No more digging through folders or saving random screenshots. Everything is organized and ready when you need it.

In short, MustStash isn't just a barcode scanner. It's a premium tool designed specifically for crafters, bringing your stash, your inspiration, and your projects together in one place. Your subscription pays for more than features. It gives you the gift of time. Less sorting, more crafting.

If you cancel MustStash Premium, your account will simply revert to the free plan with limited features. Shared projects you've already contributed will continue to inspire the community.

Free accounts include up to 100 items in your stash. When you switch from Premium to free, only your most recent 100 items will remain visible. If you decide to upgrade again later, your full stash and projects will be right where you left them.

Annual and monthly subscriptions are billed in advance and are non-refundable, but you’ll keep full access to Premium features until the end of your current billing period.

Yes. If you'd like your stash and projects permanently removed from MustStash, just contact us directly and we'll take care of it.

We're working hard to partner with as many companies as we can, and more are joining all the time. If your favorite company isn't in the app yet, please let us know. We use community feedback to help guide which partners we approach next.

The initial version of MustStash is focused on the end-user experience: helping crafters discover, organize, and search products, as well as share projects made with those products. We don't yet have special accounts or tools for design team members.

That said, there are still advantages for creators adding their projects now. First, early contributors gain visibility and start building their own presence in MustStash. With only a small number of projects in the community right now, those first projects get seen more often, featured more prominently, and can help establish you as a leader from the start.

Second, when you add a project in MustStash, it can show all the products you used. That not only helps the companies whose products are showcased, but it also gives other crafters a clearer picture of how your project came together. If you include instructions, you're essentially giving crafters a recipe they can follow. When someone makes a card inspired by yours, it links back to your project, which deepens your connection with the community and extends your reach.

Longer term, we plan to introduce a dedicated "Creator" program with extra features, including affiliate and commission options. But for now, our priority is learning how everyday crafters use the app and supporting their needs.

In short, we see the problem, we care about it, and we will solve it in the future.
