Ways to sign in, choosing a handle, and account options.

You need an account to applaud, star, publish, or report community pieces. Doing any of these while signed out opens account sign-up.

Making an account

  1. Authentication: Select a way to sign in: Continue with Apple, Continue with Google, or Continue with email. Apple and Google sign you in with your device’s own sheet. With email, Sign in is only for an account you already have. To make one, select New here? Make an account, then Make a new account; it needs a valid address and a password of at least six characters. Forgot your password? emails you a link to reset it (type your email first). Keep using the way you signed in the first time. An account belongs to one email, so if Apple or Google gives the email of an account you made another way, the app shows This email already has an Ünflat account. Sign in the way you did the first time: Apple, Google, or email and password. If you let Apple hide your email, Apple gives Ünflat a different address, so that sign-in makes a separate new account.
  2. Age: Confirm your age. The community is for users 13 or older. Selecting Not yet stops sign-up. Offline tools and making figs, scenes, patterns, and clips on your device still work fully without an account.
  3. Handle: The app makes a handle of two words and a number (e.g., @Maple-Otter-42). Select a tile to reroll that part, or type your own under Or type your own. If a made-up handle is taken, the app rolls a new number (Number already taken. Here is a new one.); a taken handle you typed must be changed.
  4. Mature pieces: The question reads Show mature posts?, with a line under it: They can have horror, scary or violent scenes, or crude humor. Nothing sexual is allowed. Select Show me or Keep them hidden to show or hide mature pieces on this device at first. The question comes once per account; on another device, use Show mature content (13+) in Settings › Account.

Handle rules

Handles typed under Or type your own must follow these rules:

  • Length and letters: 3 to 20 characters, using letters, numbers, and hyphens.
  • Hyphens: Hyphens go between letters; a hyphen at the start or end, or two in a row, is not allowed.
  • Capitals: Capital letters don’t matter (@Maple and @maple are the same).
  • Validation: As you type, it shows free ✓ or taken; a name that breaks a rule shows the rule (e.g., 3 letters at least), and a reserved or blocked name shows Not valid. Try another.

Your handle shows on pieces you publish, on remix credits, and on the Star board.

Managing your account

New nameSign outSync
The Settings window's Account tab.

Open the Account tab in Settings to see your handle and star points.

  • New name: Opens the handle picker again to change your handle. Select That’s me to confirm or Not now to keep the old one.
  • Sign out: Signs you out. Your favorites, the creators you follow, and the makers you blocked are saved to the account and removed from this device until you sign in again. Your library stays on the device, and so does your Learn card, set, and design challenge progress. Signing in adds the account’s own progress to the device. Progress made while signed out goes once, to the first account that signs in on the device; a second account still shows the device’s progress but never gets another account’s star points.
  • Sync: Opens the Library tab to manage cloud backup .

For 13+ accounts, the Show mature content (13+) toggle shows or hides mature pieces on this device. Other rows handle push notifications, your profile bio, blocked makers, and deleting your account for good.
