TINYMODE
Less, but better — minimalist living, decluttering systems, and calm by design.
From deciding what to keep and building a capsule wardrobe to weighing a purchase by cost per wear, running a 30-day declutter, and keeping a collection from creeping back up, TinyMode pairs free hands-on calculators with clear, practical guides. Own less, on purpose.
Minimalist Living Calculators
Free tools for owning less — a declutter decision scorer, a capsule wardrobe calculator, a cost-per-wear tool, a 30-day challenge tracker, a storage-space estimator, and a one-in-one-out balance calculator.
Declutter Decision Calculator
Score any item on how much you use it, love it, could replace it, and the space it costs — and get a clear keep, maybe, or let-go call.
Capsule Wardrobe Calculator
See how many outfits your tops, bottoms, and layers actually make, and how few pieces it takes to dress for weeks without repeating.
Cost Per Wear Calculator
Divide price by real-world uses to turn a sticker price into a cost per wear, so you can tell a lasting buy from a false economy.
Minimalism Challenge Calculator
Run the 30-day minimalism game — one item on day one, two on day two — and see the running and total count of things you'll clear.
Storage Space Calculator
Estimate the shelf, drawer, or floor space you free up when you clear a set of items, in litres and as a share of the room.
One In, One Out Calculator
Plan a collection back down to a target — with one-in-one-out or a stricter ratio — and see how long until you reach the number you want.
Museum of Minimalism
Wander an illustrated collection — minimalist art and design, the simple- living movements, the Japanese aesthetics of ma and wabi-sabi, and the functional, modernist design that shaped how we think about “less,” each in its own gallery. Every entry, image, and fact is drawn from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.

The One-In-One-Out Rule: Simple Maintenance That Actually Works
Why decluttering rarely sticks on its own, and how the one-in-one-out rule keeps a home from creeping back to clutter — plus how to use stricter ratios when you want to shrink a collection, not just hold it steady.
Cost Per Wear: The Number That Changes How You Shop
Price tells you what you pay once; cost per wear tells you what you pay every time you use something. Here's how the number works, why cheap can be the false economy, and how to use it before you buy.
Digital Minimalism: Decluttering Your Screens and Your Attention
Minimalism isn't only about physical stuff. A practical guide to clearing digital clutter — apps, notifications, inboxes, and files — and reclaiming the attention that endless screens quietly drain.
