About

CATWLK

Features
Read full description

CATWLK is a local-first clothing sourcing and comparison tool for shoppers and independent personal stylists. On supported product pages from Zara, H&M, Mango, Uniqlo, COS, Massimo Dutti, ARKET, & Other Stories, Sézane, ASOS, Weekday, GANNI, Abercrombie & Fitch, Reformation, and Zalando, CATWLK reads the displayed product title, price, image, composition, care information, and structured product details. Use CATWLK to: • Analyze fabric composition and care information • Compare two to four products side by side • Add notes, tags, purchase details, and wear tracking • Organize sourcing decisions and client edits • Save selected products locally in your browser • Share selected review or intake links when using the optional professional workspace CATWLK works without an account for personal shopping. Products, comparisons, preferences, and existing client work stay in Safari extension storage unless you explicitly choose a cloud action. A professional stylist can optionally connect a CATWLK account to organize Today, Clients, Library, and Settings, capture products into an edit, publish a selected review snapshot, and create an intake link. Clients do not need an account. CATWLK contains no advertising and no general browsing analytics. It reads supported product pages only for its shopping purpose, or performs a one-time generic capture after you explicitly invoke it on another retailer. After installation, enable CATWLK in Safari Extensions. Open a retailer product page and choose CATWLK from Safari’s toolbar or page menu.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: CATWLK at none against Madewell's shown. CATWLK also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
