Closr — the virtual closet app for the clothes you already own
Closr is a virtual closet app for iPhone, free to start. You photograph your clothes, it removes the background and files each piece into a searchable digital closet, and you plan and save outfits from anywhere — no new shopping required.
Most of us own more than we think and wear a fraction of it. A virtual closet app fixes that by putting your actual wardrobe — not a store's catalog — in your pocket, so you can see everything at once and actually use it.
Snap a photo, get a clean catalog
Building your closet starts with your camera. Photograph or import a shirt, a pair of jeans or a jacket, enter its core details, and save it. Closr then shows upload and generation progress while the backend prepares a clean product-style image. You can keep using the item record, retry a failure, and see when the generated image is ready.
Each piece gets filled in as it lands: category (tops, jackets, pants, shorts, dresses, shoes, accessories), a short title, a one-line description, and the dominant colour. You can rename anything, add your own tags, and correct a category in a tap if the app guesses wrong. The result is a visual inventory that looks like a store's product grid — except every item is something hanging in your real closet.
You don't have to photograph everything in one sitting. Most people start with 30 to 40 core pieces in about fifteen minutes, then add items as they wear them. Within a couple of weeks the grid reflects what you actually reach for.
Search and filter like it's a store
A pile of clothes on a chair is not searchable. A virtual closet is. Once your items are in Closr, you can filter by category, star favourites, and search by name, brand, colour or your own tags to pull up exactly what you're looking for in seconds — every white shirt you own, every pair of boots, everything you tagged for July.
This is where a digital closet earns its keep. Instead of forgetting about the good trousers pushed to the back of the rail, you see them every time you open the app. Filtering also makes the gaps obvious: three near-identical grey hoodies and not a single pair of dress shoes is a lot easier to notice on a grid than on a hanger.
By category
Jump straight to tops, bottoms, outerwear, shoes, or accessories without scrolling past everything else.
By colour
Search “navy” and Closr matches the dominant colour it read from each photo — the fastest way to check if a look actually goes together.
By favourite
Star the pieces you actually reach for and narrow the grid to those in one tap.
Build outfits and take them anywhere
The point of cataloging clothes isn't the catalog — it's wearing them better. In Closr you select compatible items in the outfit builder, name the look, then save it. Planning tomorrow's outfit the night before takes under a minute, and saved looks can be placed on dates in the Planner.
Because your closet lives on your phone, your outfits travel with you. Standing in a hotel room, in a fitting room deciding whether you already own something similar, or at a friend's place before a night out — your saved Closr wardrobe is a tap away. Saved outfits mean you never have to re-solve "what goes with this" from scratch.
Want a starting point? The context-aware outfit planner proposes combinations from pieces you already own, ready for you to review in the normal builder.
How Closr compares to the alternatives
Virtual closet and digital wardrobe apps have been around for a while — Whering, Indyx, Stylebook, Acloset and Cladwell each take a different angle. Closr's bet is simplicity: fast capture with automatic background removal, a clean grid, and outfit planning that doesn't bury you in options. It's built for people who already own great clothes and just want to see and use them.
We're not going to pretend the others don't do their jobs well; several are genuinely good and have loyal users. The honest way to choose is to compare feature-by-feature against what you actually need. Start here:

How to get started
Getting a working virtual closet takes about fifteen minutes:
- Install Closr on your iPhone as soon as it lands on the App Store.
- Photograph your core pieces — the 30 to 40 things you wear most. Snap, and the background is removed for you.
- Let it fill everything in — title, description, colour and category — then fix anything you disagree with and add your own tags.
- Build a couple of outfits and save them. That's the moment the whole thing clicks.
From there, add items as you wear them and lean on outfit planning whenever you're stuck. For a wider look at organizing what you own, see the digital wardrobe app overview.
FAQ
What is a virtual closet app?
A virtual closet app is a digital version of the clothes you already own. You photograph each item, the app cuts it out and files it by type and color, and you get a searchable grid of your real wardrobe on your phone — plus tools to build and save outfits from it.
Is Closr free?
Yes. Closr's wardrobe, outfits and planner are free, so you can build your closet and plan outfits without paying. There's no charge to catalog your clothes or save looks; credits are only spent on photographic try-ons.
How long does it take to build a closet?
Most people photograph 30 to 40 core items in about 15 minutes. You don't need to capture everything at once — add pieces as you wear them and your closet fills in naturally over a couple of weeks.
Do I need to remove backgrounds from the photos myself?
No manual cut-out is required. After you save a garment, Closr shows upload and generation progress while a clean product-style image is prepared. You can retry if generation fails.
Does Closr work without an internet connection?
Closr keeps an offline cache on your device, so you can browse cached items and outfits without a connection. Image generation and cloud synchronisation require network access.
Your closet, finally searchable
Photograph what you own, plan outfits from anywhere, and stop forgetting the good stuff at the back of the rail. Closr is free to start on iPhone.
