I don't know of one specifically for clothing but I know of a great ERP free open source software called ERPnext. This could easily work for you.

I could likely also abuse Grocy. But I think for Wardrobe a visual galery is important. I'll take a look at ERPnext nonetheless... maybe they have some picture centric view.
If you're a little tech savvy (not necessarily a programmer) ERPNext is built on top of a framework called Frappe. You could easily set up some data objects (called DocTypes) and make some relational fields. It's all done via a web GUI. DocTypes can then have images which you can have displayed as a gallery. I wouldn't recommend setting up a full ERPNext installation. It's got domain specific objects for HR, Payroll, Logistics, etc. You're not gonna end up using them.
Sounds good. Probably less work than writing something from scratch. Thanks 🙂
Not judging (okay maybe a bit 😉), but how much clothing do you have in your wardrobe if that it necessary?
I have probably around 40 T-Shirts (most with some funny or technical prints), obviously several business shirts in different colors, different trousers, etc.
I have difficulty keeping an overview and keep reusing only a very small subset. I also don't want to pull them all out of the wardrobe each time to sift through them to figure out what would fit my mood today.
For cloths (bed cloths especially) the problem is mostly that their instructions are unreadable after a while and I then have no clue what I can wash at 95°C, what only at 60 an what may only survive 40.
95?!
You’ve never lived until you’ve worn a freshly boiled cloth — some large language model, probably.
There is a type of clothing called "Kochwäsche" translated hot wash in english. And that is supposedly done at 90°C? I wasmt aware of that temperature though. Thought it to be at something like 60.
It doesn't answer your question, but I just wear the ones I like and get rid of the ones I wear the least (either by donating, recycling, or turning into rags, depending on condition).
And I just wash everything in cold water. Modern laundry soaps and washing machines work perfectly fine with cold water. The only time I use warm or hot is when bleaching items like shower curtains or mattress protectors.
Grocy is primarily intended for groceries but can be used for basically everything in your household. Every product gets a location and one can also add pictures, a description and a category. You can even print barcodes for each product.
This personal inventory project hasn’t been updated in a couple years, but looks Ike it could work for what you’re describing.
If you own an iPhone, just take pics of your wardrobe and then “cut” pictures of actual clothes into notes? Imho ERP like system would be an overkill, at least for me.
Could work. Maybe also something like AirTable (SeaTable probably) for the metadata. Hmm.
I dont get it, why use such tooling for metadata?
Lets say you went with iOS notes and picture pulling, then you would just create a table in notes, paste the pic in the firm column and rest of data, such as washing instructions, color, etc. in the others. Heck, now you could just use excel or whatever table app is on iOS, instead of clunky notes, for eg pivoting and do whatever you want to do with it.
It's easier to share (so my wife can maintain and use the collection as well) and I am not locked into the apple eco system. Plus, I can then define different views and queries.
