Introducing Achievements: Streaks, Badges, and Real Rewards

I used to photograph a batch of clothes on a Sunday, feel good about it, and then drift away for a couple of weeks. Nothing pulled me back. The app was useful, but it never told me I was building a habit worth keeping.

So Wardrowbe now has one. Points, levels, streaks, and a wall of achievement badges, all tied to the things you already do in the app: adding items, accepting outfits, logging what you wore, leaving feedback. And the consistency pays out in something you can actually spend, bonus virtual try-on credits, plus a subscription discount at the loyalty milestones, applied straight through Stripe.

Here's exactly how it works, numbers and all.

What Earns You Points

Every meaningful action feeds a running point total, which maps to a level. There are 30 of them, each a little further out than the last.

There's no separate tab you have to go engage with. Snap a few items, accept a suggestion, mark what you actually wore, and the points accrue on their own. The achievements screen just reflects what you were already doing.

Streaks, With a Safety Net

Streaks count your consecutive active days, with milestones at 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 100, 200, and 365 days. Each one unlocks its own badge.

Real life gets in the way, though. You go camping, your phone dies, you forget for a day. Resetting a long streak over one missed day is the kind of thing that makes people quit rather than start over, so every month you get 2 freeze days, automatic, no action needed. Miss a single day and the freeze quietly absorbs it; your streak survives. Miss two days past your freeze budget and it resets, which feels fair rather than punishing.

If your streak is about to lapse (active yesterday, nothing yet today) and you're 3+ days in, Wardrowbe sends an evening reminder around your local 7pm so you can catch it before midnight.

Sixteen Badges, Four Categories

The achievements screen groups badges into Wardrobe, Outfits, Streak, and Loyalty. A few of them:

• First Piece: add your first item
• Building a Closet → Full Closet: 10, 50, then 100 items
• First Look: accept your first outfit suggestion
• On a Roll → Centurion: a 3-day streak up through 100 days
• Loyal → One Year Strong: stay active for 1, 6, then 12 consistent months

Locked badges show a progress bar instead of a bare lock icon, so you can see exactly where you stand: 6 of 10 toward Building a Closet, 1 of 25 toward Tastemaker. And when one unlocks, you get a proper celebration on the spot, confetti and all.

The Rewards

The rewards are tied to consistency, not to spending money.

Stay active 12+ days in a calendar month and you get 3 bonus try-on credits automatically. Hit a loyalty milestone at 3, 6, or 12 consistent months and it gets better:

• Not on a paid plan yet? You get a flat 10 bonus credits.
• Already subscribed? You get 20% off, one time, applied directly to your Stripe subscription. No promo code to remember and enter. It just lands on your account.

Bonus credits stack on top of your monthly try-on allowance (up to 200 total) and show on your billing page as "your monthly amount + bonus credits," so you always know exactly what you have to spend.

The Idea Behind It

Points that only buy you a spot on a leaderboard fade fast; I've watched myself stop caring about that kind of number inside a week. What makes this version worth building is that it doesn't ask you to change anything. It rewards what you're already doing, wearing clothes you own instead of buying new ones and actually using the suggestions the app gives you, and it backs that up with something you can spend.

If you've been through the guided setup, you've already earned an achievement or two. Add your fifth item and you're a third of the way to Building a Closet before you even know the feature exists.

Where to Find It

Achievements live under More → Achievements on mobile, and there's a dedicated Achievements page on the web dashboard too. Both read from the same backend, so it's the same points, streaks, and badges whichever device you're on.

On the free trial, your progress counts from day one. By the time you decide whether to subscribe, you'll already have a few badges unlocked.

Try It

Open the app and add an item. That's it, you've started. Check your progress at app.wardrowbe.com or in the mobile app, or grab the self-hosted version if you'd rather run Wardrowbe yourself.
