Closet

A wardrobe that builds its inventory through everyday use

Open Closet

What inspired it

I own too many shoes and wear three of them. I've bought running shoes I already had. My wardrobe has a visibility gap, and I wanted to close it: fewer, faster decisions, and an honest picture of what I actually wear.

The central insight

The inventory builds itself. Each morning I snap a mirror photo; the app recognizes the pieces and logs what I wore. Planned becomes worn in about ten seconds.

What it does

  • Inventory, capsules, and trip planning
  • Photo check-ins that log what I wore
  • Adding pieces by photo and scanning care labels
  • A "do I already own this?" check
  • Weekly planning and a chat assistant

Design decisions and milestones

  • Described out loud, then seeded with my Montréal and New York planning notes
  • A tap-through prototype in conversation, then the real app built in Lovable the same morning
  • Live at closet.lynnthibault.com, private behind my login
  • A small closed alpha for friends: invite codes, each person sees only their own closet

What I've learned

  • Start from a real annoyance
  • Use it the same day
  • Sketch before you build
  • Privacy first when friends join
