The simple way for tailors, seamstresses and alteration shops to run the business: every customer, measurement, order and payment in one place — on iPhone and iPad. Never miss a due date, never lose a measurement, and always know who still owes you. KNOW WHAT'S DUE, AT A GLANCE Today shows what's running late, what's due and what's ready for pickup. A tailor's tape across the next three weeks shows exactly how busy you are, so you can promise realistic dates. TRACK EVERY GARMENT, FROM FITTING TO PICKUP Follow each order through Not started, Stitching, Fitting, Ready and Picked up. Move it along in one tap, and text or email the customer that it's ready with a message that writes itself. MEASUREMENTS THAT STAY WITH THE CUSTOMER Record the right measurements for each garment — suits, shirts, trousers, dresses, blouses, gowns, alterations and 30+ more — in inches or centimeters. Every customer keeps a measurement profile, so their next order fills itself in. FABRIC PHOTOS & SKETCHES Photograph the customer's cloth or choose a photo from your library, and sketch the design with your finger or Apple Pencil, saved right on the order. Add a fabric note like "navy wool, pinstripe". GET PAID, PROFESSIONALLY Record deposits and payments, see every balance due, and send branded PDF invoices and receipts with your shop details. Sales tax and VAT built in. CUSTOMERS & CLIENT BOOK Every client with their history, measurements and what they owe. Import from Contacts, call or text in a tap. INSIGHTS See what you've earned, your best-selling garments and who still owes you — by week, month or year. YOUR SHOP, SAFE Turn on iCloud backup & sync to keep everything safe and use it on your iPhone and iPad. Change phones and your shop comes back in minutes. Or save a backup file — protected with a password if you like — and restore it anytime. Your data lives on your devices and in your own iCloud — only you can see it. BUILT FOR iPHONE, iPHONE DUO AND iPAD Designed for iOS 27 with Liquid Glass, dark mode, a two-page layout across iPhone Duo's fold and a full iPad layout with floating panels.
