IROHA — The Closet That Remembers A mobile-first personal wardrobe app. Built without a dev background. My first makeathon.

The Problem The average piece of clothing is worn fewer than ten times before it's discarded. Most people wear 20% of what they own, 80% of the time. The rest sits invisible — forgotten at the back of the wardrobe, waiting. Fast fashion produces 92 million tonnes of textile waste per year. And most of that waste begins not at the factory, but at the wardrobe: overfull, un-curated, invisible. IROHA is the quiet antidote.

What IROHA is Not a shopping app. Not algorithm-driven. A deliberate, personal tool for cataloguing the clothes you already own — mixing, matching, wearing, logging, and remembering them. Four screens: Closet — A two-column masonry wardrobe grid with horizontal category tabs, colour filters, and wear counts. When an item hasn't been worn in more than 30 days, it receives an ❄ Unworn tag. Not a judgment. A reminder. That quiet surfacing — multiplied across thousands of wardrobes — is where Iroha's environmental contribution lives. Try On — A virtual canvas for layering clothing items on a full-body photo. Draggable, resizable, pinch-to-zoom on touch. Save combinations as outfits, stored with a snapshot. A Smart Filter (category, colour, weather, style) lets you pull pieces from across your closet. Log — A monthly calendar diary. Day cells fill with rose for worn, lavender for planned. Outfit snapshots, OOTD photos, and memory notes attach to each entry. A summary bar tracks monthly wear count and surfaces your most-worn piece. Profile — Stats, drag-to-reorder categories, and a Memories section: a private journal of memory notes from both wardrobe items and log entries, rendered as italic Cormorant Garamond quotes.

The Name IROHA (いろは) comes from a classical Japanese poem — written around the 10th century — that uses every syllable of the Japanese syllabary exactly once. It reads, in translation: Even the blossoming flowers will eventually scatter.

Who in our world is unchanging? It is a poem about impermanence. About the beauty of things that pass. Clothes are beautiful things that pass — through seasons, through bodies, through trends. IROHA asks you to slow that down.

I built IROHA as a vibecoder. No traditional dev background. First makeathon. What I had was a clear problem I cared about, a guide that told me where to start, and tools that made it possible to ship something real. The ❄ Unworn tag is the feature I'm most proud of. It doesn't send notifications. It doesn't calculate carbon footprints. It just makes the invisible visible. If one person reaches for a forgotten coat instead of buying a new one, that is enough. 🔗 Live Project: https://iroha.figma.site/ 🔗 Figma Community file: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1648821052690074663 🔗 Social Sharing: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZwZku-h1m7/
