What is this?

Stop forgetting what you own

You have a wardrobe full of clothes you love. You wear the same five things. Sound familiar? The Shimmer Strip surfaces combinations you'd never think of, tracks where everything lives, and lets your AI pick outfits based on the actual weather and your actual wardrobe.

Weather Aware

Today's weather and tomorrow's forecast. No more guessing if you need a jacket. Plan tomorrow's outfit tonight.

๐Ÿค–

AI Integration

Connect any AI via MCP. Ask "what should I wear tomorrow?" and get a real answer based on your real wardrobe and real weather.

The Snail

Hit Surprise Me. The snail picks your outfit. The snail names your outfit. The snail has opinions. Trust the shell.

๐ŸŒ€

Chaos Mode

Unexpected colour combinations. Bold choices. Chaos energy. For days when you want to be surprised by your own wardrobe.

๐Ÿงบ

Laundry Tracking

Items in the wash are excluded from suggestions. No more "that's in the laundry" disappointment.

๐Ÿ 

Storage Locations

Tag where each item lives. Toggle locations off when they're inaccessible. The app only suggests what you can actually reach.

๐Ÿชž

Mirror Selfies

Save a photo of yourself in each outfit. Build a visual lookbook over time. See how you actually look, not just the flat lay.

๐ŸŒ™

Comfort Mode

Having a low-energy day? Toggle comfort mode to prioritise cosy, soft, easy-wear items. Customise the name and icon โ€” call it whatever fits you.

๐Ÿ‘—

Outfit Building

Floating preview, category filters, gentle completeness hints. Build outfits like a stylist laying clothes on a bed.

Suitcase Mode

Packing for a trip? Smart prompts help you remember what you need. Checklist mode for packing day. Never forget flip-flops again.

Your AI knows your wardrobe

Connect your AI assistant via MCP. It checks the weather, browses your wardrobe category by category, picks an outfit, and explains why. This is what it actually looks like:
