Chic2Read: Tag Decoder turns cryptic wash symbols into plain instructions — instant scanning, step-by-step breakdowns, and a stain-rescue plan for the moments panic sets in. Everything stays stored securely on your device.
Point at a tag, get the instant, plain-English translation of every icon on it.
Check whether items in the same load can actually share water and heat.
Interactive protocols that walk you through saving a garment in the moment.
A running log of past loads, so you never repeat a mistake twice.
Step-by-step explanations of each symbol, not just a single-line verdict.
A fast pre-wash pass to catch anything that shouldn't go in with the rest.
See which heat settings you actually use — and which fabrics prefer.
Long-term insight into how your sorting routine evolves over time.
Select a material to see its recommended wash temperature, then tap any symbol on the tag to decode exactly what it means.
🧵We're a small crew of self-taught menders, thrifted-sweater rescuers, and recovering serial-shrinkers who got tired of gambling a good coat on a guess. Somewhere between a hieroglyphic wash symbol and a spin cycle, most of us lost at least one favorite piece — so we built the decoder we wished we'd had.
🔍Our mission is simple: turn cryptic fabric tags into confident, five-second decisions. Chic2Read: Tag Decoder exists to replace laundry guesswork with a steady, repeatable practice — one where every symbol has a plain-English answer and every load gets treated the way its fibers actually deserve.
🧺Inside, you'll find instant symbol scanning, step-by-step tag breakdowns, compatibility audits for mixed loads, and interactive stain-rescue protocols for the moments panic sets in. Run quick safety checks before a wash, resolve textile dilemmas on the spot, and look back through your washing history to see exactly what worked. Everything — every tag, every rule, every session — stays stored securely on your own device.
"Read the tag. Trust the wash. Keep the fabric."
Nothing. No accounts, names, emails, or location data. No usage analytics of any kind — every tag breakdown and fabric note stays local to your device.
Since nothing is collected, nothing is used, analyzed, or sold. Symbol scanning, audits, and stain-rescue tools run entirely on-device.
All saved fabric notes and wash history are stored locally on your device's storage. We operate no cloud database and no external servers.
No third-party analytics, advertising networks, trackers, or external SDKs are integrated into this app.
Because information never leaves your device, there's no server-side exposure to manage. Less data in transit means less to protect.
We do not knowingly or unknowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. This makes the app COPPA-friendly by design.
You hold full control at all times. Deleting the app permanently removes all associated data — there are no backups or linked accounts anywhere else.
This policy may be updated as the app evolves. Any revision will appear here with a new effective date.
Whether it's a question about how we decode a symbol, a technical hiccup, or a partnership idea — we'd love to hear from you. A real person reads every message.
