What The Lookahead does

The Lookahead is a personal styling app for Australian users. It helps you plan the week's outfits and keep an organised digital wardrobe, so getting dressed each morning is a quick decision instead of a daily scramble.

The purpose of the app

The Lookahead is a wardrobe and outfit-planning tool. You add the clothes you own to a digital wardrobe, then the app helps you plan what to wear across the week ahead — informed by your own style preferences, your schedule, and the weather. The aim is the "Sunday ritual": spend a few minutes once a week so the rest of the week's outfits are already sorted.

How it works

Optional: import purchase receipts from Gmail

So you don't have to photograph every item one by one, The Lookahead can — only if you choose to connect it — read fashion-purchase confirmation emails and turn them into wardrobe items automatically.

This feature is entirely optional and opt-in. Every other part of the app works without it.

When you connect Gmail, we request a single Google permission: read-only access to your email (the gmail.readonly scope). We use it for one purpose — finding fashion-retailer order confirmations and extracting the items you bought.

When you tap "import receipts", the app looks only at messages Gmail itself files under its purchases category from a recent time window. It reads those receipts to extract the item details (brand, item name, category, price, currency, and purchase date) and adds them to your wardrobe for your review. Nothing enters your wardrobe until you accept it.

We never send, modify, or delete email; we don't read messages outside Gmail's purchases category; and you can disconnect Gmail — revoking access immediately — at any time from the app's settings or from your Google Account.

Signing in

You create an account with Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google. This account login is separate from the optional Gmail connection above — signing in does not give the app access to your email.

How your data and AI are used

The Lookahead uses Anthropic's Claude AI to suggest outfits and to extract item details from the receipts you choose to import. We send only the minimum information needed for each request. We don't sell your personal information or use it for third-party advertising.

For the full detail of what we collect, how we use it, who our sub-processors are, and your rights under the Australian Privacy Principles, please read our privacy policy and terms of service.

The Lookahead is currently in a closed beta for an Australian user cohort.
