What is kid mode?

Kid mode lets a child get themselves dressed on your iPhone. Open their outfit on the main screen and tap Let [their name] get dressed. They see a picture checklist of today's clothes, tick each one off as they put it on, and watch Cloudy get dressed too. When they're done, they earn a star, and the stars count mornings in a row.

It's there for kids 5 to 12. For a toddler, turn on Kid mode in their settings; toddlers always get pictures and a voice reading each item. In Clothecast › Settings › Kid mode you can turn reading out loud, pictures only, stars and the Face ID check on or off.

How do I leave kid mode?

Tap Grown-ups at the top and use your Face ID, Touch ID or passcode. That keeps kid mode from closing by accident, but it doesn't lock the rest of your iPhone. To keep a child inside Clothecast, turn on Guided Access in the iPhone Settings app › Accessibility.

How does the free week work?

The first time you open Clothecast (or the first time after updating), you get everything in Clothecast Pro free for 7 days. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to cancel, and you're never charged for it.

After the week, you and one more person stay free. You choose who, and you can switch once a month. To keep everyone, subscribe to Clothecast Pro.

How do I ask Siri?

Open Clothecast once so it knows where you are, then say:

• “Clothecast, what should I wear?”
• “What should I wear all day with Clothecast?”
• “What should I wear tomorrow with Clothecast?”
• “Do I need an umbrella with Clothecast?” (or a jacket, a coat, sunscreen, gloves or a hat)
• “What should I wear for a run with Clothecast?” (Pro; “to watch the game” works too)
• “What should we wear with Clothecast?” (everyone with Pro; without it, you and your free person)
• “What should Maya wear with Clothecast?” (Pro, or your free person; “the baby” works too)
• “What should Maya wear tomorrow with Clothecast?” (Pro, or your free person; “What should we wear tomorrow” works too)
• “What should the kids wear with Clothecast?” (Pro, or your free person if they're a child)
• “What should the kids wear to school with Clothecast?” (Pro)
• “What should I pack for Boston with Clothecast?” (for a trip you've planned)

To use the phrase without the app name, open the Shortcuts app, tap +, add the Clothecast action “What should I wear?”, and name the shortcut “What should I wear today”.

Can I see tomorrow's outfit the night before?

Yes. From 5 pm, choose Tomorrow under “How long are you out?”. From 8 pm, Clothecast opens on tomorrow by itself, and the widget shows it too, so you can lay clothes out before bed.

Can Clothecast tell me what to wear each morning?

Yes. In Clothecast, open Settings › Morning outfit, turn on Every morning and pick a time. You'll get a notification with the day's outfit from the latest forecast where you are. It includes your family too: everyone with Pro, or the one person who stays free with you. Tap it to see the whole outfit.

How do I add the widget?

Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen, tap Edit › Add Widget, and choose Clothecast. There's a small and a medium size. For the Lock Screen, touch and hold it, tap Customize, then add Clothecast from the widgets. The widget shows today's outfit, and tomorrow's in the evening. Open Clothecast now and then to keep it up to date.

With Pro, there's also a Family widget that shows everyone at once. To show one family member instead of you (anyone with Pro, or your free person), touch and hold the widget, tap Edit Widget and choose who.

Tap a widget to open that outfit in Clothecast. In the Family widget, tap someone's row to open theirs.

Can I send the kids' outfits to a sitter or grandparent?

Yes, for everyone with Pro, or for your free person without it. On the “What to wear” card, tap Share › Text the kids' outfits. Clothecast writes a message with each child's outfit and a picture of it, ready for Messages, WhatsApp or email. With one child, the Share button on their own outfit does the same.

Can I invite someone on a trip?

Yes. Open the trip, tap the share button and choose Invite someone on this trip. They get a link with the place and dates; in Clothecast it adds the trip with their own packing list.

Why does Clothecast want my location?

To look up the weather where you are. You can search for a place instead, and change this anytime in Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services.

The suggestions feel too warm or too cold

Set “I usually run” to Cold or Warm, and answer “How did it feel?” after you've been out. Clothecast adjusts for each person.

How do I pack for a trip?

Tap the suitcase at the top of the main screen, then Plan a trip. Add where you're going, your dates and what you'll do. Clothecast checks the weather for each day there (the forecast within about 10 days, and the usual weather for those dates further out) and builds a packing list you can tick off and share.

Once you start ticking things off, Clothecast keeps an eye on the forecast. If it changes and you need something more, like a rain jacket, the trip shows what to add. With Pro, you also get a notification.

What's in Clothecast Pro?

Your first week, everything is free. After that, you and one more person stay free, including one trip at a time. Pro adds the whole family, kid mode for every kid, school and daycare mornings, activities (workouts and watching outside), Siri for everyone, packing lists for the whole family on as many trips as you like, and an alert if the forecast changes after you've packed. It's $1.99 a month or $11.99 a year, and one purchase can be shared through Family Sharing.

How do I cancel or restore Pro, or use a code?

Cancel anytime in the iPhone Settings app › your name › Subscriptions. On a new iPhone, open Clothecast › Settings › Restore purchases. Got a code for free Pro? Open Clothecast › Settings › Redeem a code.

What does Clothecast collect?

Your settings, family and ratings stay on your iPhone. Clothecast sends anonymous usage counts so we know what to improve, never your location, names or anything you type. You can turn that off in Settings › Privacy. Details are in the privacy policy.
