Kroma

Most wardrobe apps want your data. Kroma just wants to help you wear what you own.

Kroma is a private, local-first wardrobe app. Catalogue your clothes, log what you actually wear, get outfit suggestions tuned to your weather, body, and palette — all on your device, nothing tracked, no account required.

The Kroma wardrobe tab: a grid of garments — a terracotta paisley scarf, a mustard polka-dot skirt, black jeans and a burgundy hoodie — each with a fit-score badge, price and wear count.

What it does

Catalogue everything

Photograph each garment. AI auto-tags type, colour, pattern, weave, and fabric where visible. 120+ garment types drawing on world dress traditions, not just Western.

Log what you wear

Snap an outfit photo and the app identifies which items from your wardrobe you're wearing. Real cost-per-wear, not guesses. Honest data on what you actually reach for.

Weather-aware outfits

Manual chips by default — zero network. Or opt in to Open-Meteo once a morning using a city you type. Personal comfort calibration so your "warm" isn't someone else's.

Five colour-analysis systems

12-season Western, Ritu (South Asian), Shikisai (Japanese), Korean Tonal, and Wu Xing (Chinese). Plus Kibbe and proportion-based body analysis — pick the framework that fits you.

Bring your own AI

Use your own key for Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, Mistral or OpenRouter, or point Kroma at an Ollama server you run yourself. Photos go straight from your phone to the provider you chose, and Kroma asks before the first one is sent. We never see them.

No accounts, no servers

Open the app and start cataloguing — no sign-up, no email, no profile waiting on someone else's database. Your wardrobe lives in encrypted storage on your phone. There's no server we'd have to shut down to honour a deletion request, because there's no server.

Where your clothes actually come from

Most apps treat paisley as a Scottish pattern. It isn't.

The teardrop motif — boteh, ambi, kairi — comes from the Indian subcontinent, refined to its highest form in Mughal-era Kashmiri shawls. It got its English name because 19th-century Scottish mills mass-produced cheap copies. Kroma tells that story, and dozens like it, inside the app.

Tap any pattern, colour, or fabric on a garment and the attribution opens up: where it actually originates, how it travelled, what its English name is really a record of. Indigo, Banarasi silk, Kuba cloth, Tatreez, Bandhani, Phulkari, Huipil, Mola, Kente, Aran, Sashiko — 74 textile traditions, each credited honestly, each translated into all seven app languages.

If we got something wrong, especially about your community's tradition, there's a button inside every info modal that opens a pre-filled email straight to us. We'd rather hear from you and fix it than guess.

How the privacy piece actually works

Kroma does not run a backend. Your wardrobe data lives on your phone. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising IDs, no crash reporters. The few places data can leave your device — the AI provider you chose, the weather service you opted in to, a product page you shared into the app — are listed exhaustively in the privacy policy.

That's not a marketing position. It's the architecture. There's no server we'd have to shut down to honour a deletion request, because there's no server.
