Who it's for

One app, three ways
to get work moving.

Pick your role when you sign up and Dhago shapes the whole app around it — the home screen, the needs you see, and the tools you get.

Owner

Move stock, hire fast

Buy and sell thread, and post jobs for designers or operators when an order needs hands.

Designer

Find design work nearby

Browse and apply to design jobs posted around you, and price your stitch work before you quote.

Operator

Keep the machine busy

Browse and apply to machine operator jobs near you, and let owners find you when you're free.

not generic classifieds.

Everything from listing a surplus lot to closing the call and costing the design — without leaving the app.

Answers to the questions we get most, and a real person on the other end of the email if yours isn't here.

How do I sell a thread lot?
Open My listings from the bottom bar and tap the add button, or tap Resell your thread on the home screen. Add a photo, the brand and thread type, condition (Fresh or Used), price, and your city or area. Your listing appears in Today's Bazaar as soon as you save it.
I posted a need but I can't find it
Needs you create live under My Needs on the Needs screen. If it isn't showing in the main Community Needs list, check whether a filter (need type, city or status) is still applied — clear the filters and pull down to refresh. Closed needs are hidden from the open list by design.
How do I share a need with someone?
Tap the share icon on any need card. Dhago builds a message with the need details plus a link, so the person you send it to can open the same need in the app — or install Dhago first if they don't have it yet.
What's the difference between 250 Machine and Beads Machine (400)?
250 Machine costs a design from a stitch rate and section-wise stitch and head counts, plus any add-on charges. Beads Machine (400) costs bead work instead, section by section, using either KG-based rates or a flat rate. Both live as tabs inside the Stitch Calculator.
My bead rates are wrong — where do I change them?
Open the Beads Settings tab in the Stitch Calculator. You can add, edit, delete and reorder bead sizes in your KG-based table, and set your flat-rate sections. These are your personal tables — they sync to your account and apply to every new beads calculation.
Can I attach the DST file to a calculation?
Yes. When you save a calculation you can give it a design number and design name, upload the design image, and attach the DST file. Everything is kept together under My Designs, where you can search by name, number or machine and reopen a design to recalculate it.
How do I change the app language?
Go to Profile and choose your language — English, हिन्दी or ગુજરાતી. You can also tap the globe icon in the top-right of the home screen. The choice is remembered on your device.
I'm not getting notifications
Check that notifications are allowed for Dhago in your phone's system settings (Settings → Apps → Dhago → Notifications on Android, Settings → Notifications → Dhago on iPhone). If they're allowed and you still see nothing, sign out and sign back in — that re-registers your device — then email us if it persists.
How do I change my password?
Open Profile and choose Change password. You'll need your current password. If you've forgotten it, use the forgot-password option on the login screen.
How do I delete my account?
Open Profile and choose Delete account. This permanently removes your account together with your listings, needs and saved designs, and it can't be undone. If you can't reach the screen, email kaniko.in07@gmail.com from your registered address and we'll process it for you.
How do I report a bad listing or a user?
Email kaniko.in07@gmail.com with a screenshot and the listing or need details. We review reports and remove content that breaks our terms and conditions.
