What you can do with Stitch

Messaging

Messaging is the heart of Stitch. Every conversation lives in the Chats tab, where your most recent threads sit at the top so you can pick up where you left off. A chat can hold plain text, photos, videos, voice notes, GIFs, emoji, files, and links, and each message shows a delivery and read state so you know where things stand.

You are not limited to sending and forgetting. Long-press any message to reply to it directly, react with an emoji, forward it to another chat, copy it, or delete it. Messages you sent yourself can be edited or deleted for everyone within a short window, and a small label makes it clear when a message was edited. Inside a chat you can search the full history for a word or phrase, and a media gallery collects every photo, video, and link shared in that conversation in one place.

If you want a message to go out later, you can schedule it: write it now, pick a time, and Stitch sends it for you when the moment arrives. You can also turn on disappearing messages for a chat, choosing a 24-hour, 7-day, or 90-day timer so new messages clean themselves up automatically.

Group chats

Group chats bring several people into one conversation. As a group admin you can name the group, set a group photo, add or remove members, and share an invite so people can join. Everyone in the group sees the same messages, media, reactions, and replies, and threaded replies make it easy to follow who is responding to what when several topics are moving at once.

Groups include tools built for coordinating with more than one person. You can create a poll with up to ten options and optional anonymous voting to settle a question quickly, @mention specific people to get their attention, and mute a busy group while staying a member. Admin controls and clear membership help keep larger conversations organized and accountable.

Voice and video calls

Stitch includes free voice and video calling over your internet connection, so you can move from a chat to a live conversation without switching apps. One-to-one calls are available on the web and mobile apps, and group calls are available on supported mobile clients, where people can join, leave, and rejoin while the call stays active.

During a call you get the controls you expect: mute your microphone, turn your camera on or off, switch between the front and back camera, and end the call. Calls are designed to connect quickly and to recover gracefully when your network changes, for example moving from Wi-Fi to mobile data. Stitch does not record or store the audio or video of your calls; live media is processed only to connect the people on the call.

Stories

Stories let you share a moment from your day that stays up for a limited time and then disappears on its own. Post a photo or a short update, and the people you are connected with can view it from the Stories area. You can see who has watched your story, and because stories expire automatically, your shared moments stay current without cluttering your chats.

Stories are a lighter way to stay in touch than a direct message. They are visible to the people you have connected with rather than broadcast to strangers, which keeps the experience personal and tied to your real contacts.

Contacts

Stitch is account-based rather than built around your phone number. You connect with people using their Stitch username, which means you can reach friends without exposing or collecting phone numbers. The Contacts tab is where you find people, send and accept requests, and keep the people you talk to organized.

From a contact you can start a chat, place a call, or view the stories they have shared. You stay in control of who can reach you: you decide which requests to accept, and you can block or report a contact at any time if something is wrong.

Chat wallpapers

Chat wallpapers let you personalize how your conversations look. You can choose from a curated catalog of backgrounds or set your own, and apply a wallpaper to a single chat or across your conversations. It is a small touch that makes Stitch feel like yours without getting in the way of the messages themselves.

Wallpapers are a visual preference saved to your account, so the look you choose follows you when you sign in on a supported client.

Notifications

Notifications keep you up to date on new messages, calls, mentions, and requests without you having to keep the app open. You control how much they interrupt you: mute an individual chat or group for as long as you like, and manage notification preferences from settings.

Because mute is per-conversation, you can silence a busy group while still getting notified about the people and chats that matter most to you. On the web app, browser notifications can let you know about activity while you work in another tab.

The Stitch web app

Stitch is not only a phone app. The Stitch web app lets you sign in from a browser and use your account on a larger screen with a keyboard, which is handy at a desk or when your phone is out of reach. Your chats, contacts, and account settings are tied to your Stitch account, so the conversations you have on your phone are there when you sign in on the web.

You can open the web app at any time, and it uses the same account and the same rules as the mobile apps. Stitch Plus, blocking, reporting, and your contacts all carry across because they belong to your account rather than a single device.

Stitch Plus

Stitch is free to use, and the core experience — messaging, group chats, calls, stories, and contacts — never sits behind a paywall. Stitch Plus is an optional subscription that removes ads from your account for $3.99 per month where available. There is no free trial, and you can cancel at any time.

Stitch Plus is tied to your account, so once it is active, ads are removed on the supported clients where you are signed in. You can read the full details on the Stitch Plus pricing page.
