Pleat is a quiet, private wardrobe — a calm way to keep track of what you own and actually wear. No account, no feeds, no shopping. Everything stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. Catalogue every piece — photograph it, and Pleat removes the background and names the colour on your device. There's no limit on how much you add. Note what you wear, on the day. Over time Pleat points you back to pieces you'd forgotten, flags what's gathering dust, and shows what earns its place — so you reach for more of what you already own, instead of buying more. Compose looks from your pieces and keep them as still-life snapshots. Pleat Studio (optional) adds daily observations and a quarterly summary of your wardrobe — utilization, your core pieces, palette drift, and cost-per-wear. No AI try-on, no avatars, no body data. Just your real closet. --- Pleat Studio — unlock daily observations and the quarterly summary: Yearly: $39.99 Monthly: $5.99 The free version is fully usable. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least a day before the period ends. Manage them in Settings.
