Outfit Tracking: The App That Knows What You Actually Wore
Most wardrobe apps know what they recommended. Very few know what you put on. Clad9 closes that gap from a photo — no daily form to fill in, no tapping five garments before you leave the house.
Photograph the Outfit, Not the Items
A fit check is one or two quick photos of what you're wearing. Clad9 reads the outfit, pulls out each garment, and matches it back against your cataloged closet — this top is that top, those are the boots from the March batch. Not a guess at a category, the specific item.
Anything it doesn't recognize gets added to your closet there and then, so the jumper you bought in March and never got round to photographing catalogs itself the first day you wear it. Your inventory stops drifting out of date without you maintaining it. Wear two outfits in a day — the office, then the gym — and both are logged separately.
The Laundry Basket Closes the Loop
The moment a look is logged, its washable pieces drop into your laundry basket, and Clad9 stops recommending them until you mark them clean. Your clothes have a location now — in the closet, or in the wash — and only one of those is available to wear.
It's a small mechanism with a disproportionate effect: you are never again told to wear the shirt that's sitting in the machine. Mark a load clean in one tap and everything comes straight back into rotation. You can also send anything to the basket by hand, without a fit check, for the days you just want the app to know.
Real Wear, Not Suggestions
Once Clad9 knows what you genuinely wore rather than what you were offered, the rules downstream become real. A garment you actually wore is held back for the following week, so the same favorite top doesn't quietly become your uniform — while a look you were merely shown and passed on reserves nothing, because you didn't wear it.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. It's the difference between an app that rations your wardrobe over clothes that never left the hanger, and one that keeps an honest record of what you've been wearing.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to take a fit check every day?
No. Nothing depends on it, and Clad9 works without one. It's there for the days you want the app to know, and it takes a couple of photos rather than a form. You can also mark pieces worn or send them to the laundry basket by hand.
What happens to my fit-check photos?
They're stored with your account and used to match the garments in them against your closet. They are never shared with a connected AI assistant, at any permission level, in any form — an assistant can be told which garments a fit check matched, never given the picture.
What if it gets a garment wrong?
You can remove any piece it matched, and anything it didn't recognize is added as a new item you can edit or delete like any other. Clad9 matches photo against photo, so a well-lit shot of what you're wearing matches more reliably than a dark one.

A wardrobe that keeps up with you
Clad9 logs what you wore from a photo, sends the washable pieces to the laundry basket, and stops recommending them until they're clean.
