ClothesView - Digital Closet Organizer
ClothesView turns your wardrobe into a browsable catalogue. Add a photo of each piece, choose its category and main color, write a note if you like, and every item appears in a grid you can filter and search without opening a single drawer.
The Coordinate tab lets you try combinations before you get dressed. Tap the hat, top, outerwear, accessory, bottom and shoe positions around a simple mannequin, pick items from your closet, give the outfit a name and save it for a busy morning, a trip or an event.
It suits anyone with more clothes than they can remember, people trying to wear what they already own, and minimalists who want a clear picture of a small wardrobe. Everything is stored in this browser with no account.
The app runs entirely in your browser. What you enter is saved only on this device.
How to use ClothesView
- Add an item. On the Clothes List tab tap Add, then Gallery to choose a photo (on a phone browser, Camera may open the camera). The picture is resized to at most 1200 pixels.
- Describe it. Enter a name, pick a category (Tops, Bottoms, Dresses, Outerwear, Shoes, Accessories or Other) and a color, add optional notes such as size or where you bought it, and tap Save.
- Browse and search. Use the category chips under the search bar to filter the grid, or type in the search box to find items by name, color or notes.
- Open an item. Tap any card to see the full photo with its category, color, notes and the date it was added. You can delete items you no longer own from this screen.
- Build an outfit. Open the Coordinate tab and tap a position on the mannequin. A list of your items in that category appears; tap one to place it.
- Save and reuse outfits. Type an outfit name and tap the save icon. The list icon shows your saved outfits, where you can open or delete them.

Getting the most from a wardrobe inventory
Why catalogue clothes at all
Most people regularly wear only a fraction of what they own. Items get pushed to the back of a cupboard, forgotten in storage boxes or kept for a season that never comes. Seeing everything side by side makes it easier to rediscover pieces, notice duplicates before buying another similar item, and decide what to donate or sell.
Taking useful photos
Consistent photos make a catalogue pleasant to browse. Lay garments flat or hang them against a plain wall, use daylight from a window rather than a flash, and fill most of the frame with the item. Shoot each piece the same way round, with tops facing forward and shoes from the side, so the grid looks tidy and the mannequin view reads well.
Choosing categories and colors
Pick the category you would look under when getting dressed rather than the label inside the garment. A long cardigan worn as a jacket belongs in Outerwear; a sleeveless dress worn alone belongs in Dresses. For patterned items choose the dominant color and put the pattern in the notes, for example navy stripes or floral print, so a search for stripes finds it.
Building a capsule
A capsule wardrobe is a small set of pieces that all work together. Start by choosing two or three neutral base colors, such as black, grey or navy, and one or two accent colors. Save outfits in the Coordinate tab to see how many combinations a few tops and bottoms can make. If one item appears in almost no saved outfits, it may not fit the rest of your wardrobe.
Keeping it up to date
An inventory only helps if it matches reality. Add new purchases on the day they arrive and remove items as soon as they leave. A seasonal check, when you swap summer and winter clothes, is a good moment to review photos, update notes and delete anything you no longer have.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my photos and items stored?
In this browser's local storage (IndexedDB) on your device. There is no account and nothing is uploaded. Clearing site data or using a private window will remove your closet, and it does not sync to other browsers or devices.
Can I use the camera?
On phones and tablets the Camera button usually opens the camera through the browser. On a computer it opens a file chooser, so use photos you have already taken.
Does search understand translated color names?
Search matches the item name, the notes and the stored color name, which is saved in English (for example Black). Typing a color in another language may not find items, so the category chips are often quicker.
How many items can I add?
There is no fixed limit, but every photo takes up browser storage, and browsers cap how much a site can store. A few hundred resized photos is normally fine.
Can I edit an item after saving it?
The detail screen shows the item and lets you delete it. To change details, delete the item and add it again.
What is different from the phone app?
The closet, search and outfit features are the same. The iPhone and Android apps keep photos in the app on your phone and show ads that a one-time purchase removes; the web version has no ads or purchases and keeps data in the browser.
Limitations of the web version
- Data lives only in this browser and is not synced between devices
- Clearing browser data deletes your closet and outfits
- On computers, photos are chosen from files rather than taken with a camera
- Search matches stored English color names
