GET STITCH LAB

Three ways to run it. They're the same app and the same licence key — pick whichever suits how you work.

Nothing to install

Use it in your browser

Everything happens on your own machine — your artwork is never uploaded anywhere. Works offline once it's loaded.

Recommended

Install it as an app

Gives you a proper window with its own icon in the Start menu or Dock, no browser chrome, and it keeps working with no internet. Same app, one click, nothing to download.

Checking whether your browser can install it…

Windows

Download the desktop version

The one extra thing this does: it finds your machine's USB drive by itself, so you can send a design straight to it without hunting for the drive letter. Worth it if you're sending files to the machine all day.

Activating your licence

  1. Open Stitch Lab and click Get Pro in the top bar.
  2. Scroll to Already bought a licence? and paste your key.
  3. Click activate. The padlocks disappear.

Each version keeps its own licence. If you use both the browser and the desktop app, paste the key into both — that's expected, not a second purchase. A one-off key works offline forever and never checks in with a server.
