Closet hostage? Free your wardrobe.
In June 2024, Combyne's Munich company liquidated, and the app — the challenges, the outfits, years of your taste — passed to a small owner in Latvia. The community's first reaction was fear of another Polyvore shutdown. Whether or not that fear comes true, the question it raised is fair: if the company can be sold out from under you, your wardrobe should at least be exportable.
Combyne is a creation app with real charm — daily challenges, a kind community, 4.8 stars. The problem isn't the product; it's everything the product depends on.
Founders left, the GmbH liquidated, and the app now runs under a new owner in Riga. It still ships updates — but the people who created 200,000 outfits a day weren't consulted, and Polyvore's ghost hangs over every acquisition announcement.
You can't stop companies from selling. You can stop caring: your wardrobe lives in data you export in one tap — CSV plus photos — so no acquisition can take it from you.
25 million registered accounts, roughly half a million active. The real engine was daily challenges — brilliant as a ritual, but built to keep a feed busy, not to keep track of the clothes you actually own.
Armoiria is closet-first: wardrobe, outfit log, planner, and stats are the product; sharing is a feature. Your data serves you, not a feed.
Combyne outfits are assembled from a shoppable catalog, not from your wardrobe. Great for moodboards — but you still don't know what your own closet holds, what it cost, or what you actually wear.
Every item is yours: photographed, auto-categorized, and wear-counted. Outfits are built from pieces you own, and cost-per-wear is computed from real wear history.
When the ownership news broke, the pinned question in the community was how to save years of looks. There was no good answer.
Export is never an afterthought here: one tap, CSV plus full-resolution photos, free on every plan.
The data-integrity promise
Every wardrobe app asks for the same precious thing: hours of photographing, tagging, and logging. Armoiria is built so that trust is never misplaced — durability is architecture here, not a promise-of-the-month.
Switch to Armoiria
Switching cost is the real lock-in — nobody wants to re-tag 400 items by hand. Armoiria’s importer does the heavy lifting: map a CSV, bulk-add photos, and a full migration takes an evening, not the five-hour retagging marathon everyone fears.
Combyne is catalog-based, so you likely own more photos than records — that's fine. Collect the item photos you've used across your looks; the importer and Closet Scan rebuild the rest.
The importer recognizes Whering, Acloset, and GetWardrobe export layouts and maps the columns for you — confirm once, and every item lands with its type, color, brand, price, and notes intact.
Share a batch straight from your camera roll and the AI matches each photo to the right item. Anything never photographed takes seconds with Closet Scan — lay items out, snap once, confirm the cards.
Combyne is look-first, so start from the pieces: collect the item photos you used across your outfits and share them into Armoiria — the AI turns each photo into a structured catalog entry with type, color, brand, and price. Then rebuild your signature looks in the outfit builder, where they plug into planning, weather suggestions, and stats instead of standing still.
Yes — everything is private by default. Your wardrobe, outfits, and stats are visible only to you; the social feed exists, but sharing anything is an explicit choice, and web visibility of your profile is a setting you control, not a default.
The scenario Combyne users feared is designed against: photos are stored locally on your device first, and one tap exports your entire wardrobe — CSV plus full-resolution photos — free on every plan, forever. No owner can hold your catalog hostage because the source of truth was never only ours.
The core wardrobe is free and uncapped: unlimited items, outfit logging, the planner, stats, and export. The AI features are one plainly stated Pro subscription — no ads, no credit packs, no per-feature metering.
