DISCOVERCreate a fashion history app
Fashion history app: dress through the ages, in illustrated archives for your subscribers
Readers browse the archive period by period, discover each piece in pictures and listen to your episodes; subscribing unlocks every photo, from one century to the next.
A fashion history magazine, blog or association in its own iOS and Android app, made without coding: one illustrated article per archive piece, sorted by period, long reads, audio episodes, a map of costume collections, and the photos reserved for subscribers.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
The archive, period by period
One article per archive piece, with the photos in the reserved paragraphs
Create one article section per period: the eighteenth century, the Belle Époque, the 1920s, the post-war years. Each fashion plate, portrait or photograph becomes an article: the introduction and a first image stay visible, then the full-size photos and their captions (date, source, the detail to look at) sit in the paragraphs reserved for subscribers, on their phone or in a browser.
The story behind each garment
Long reads, with the images inside the text
The crinoline, the little black dress, the zoot suit: your articles tell where a garment came from, with images placed in the text and the author's name at the top. On a locked article, non-subscribers read the introduction, stopping where you decide.
The costume historian
Twenty years of research become a monthly article for subscribers, with the photos of each piece behind the preview.
The heritage association
Its members' collection of garments is photographed and published period by period; the subscription helps fund the next restoration.
The contemporary fashion magazine
For this season's news rather than the past, choose the fashion magazine app, with its current issues and trend reports.
Fashion magazine appEpisodes to listen to
Your history podcast, in the same app
Record your stories as audio episodes: they keep playing when the screen is locked, and can be saved for offline listening. Lock the new episodes, or leave them open to draw listeners toward your archive.
Where to see the garments for real
Museums and costume collections on a map
Add a Map section with the museums, collections and exhibitions you write about: address, opening hours, the pieces not to miss. A reader who is traveling finds the nearest one, and your article on that collection is one tap away.
AI for your archive
Three uses and their cost.
To play
A “which decade?” quiz
Picture a quiz that shows a garment and asks for its decade: describe it once, and the AI Extension Builder builds the section, with a link to your article after each answer.
Free
To answer
“When did the bustle disappear?”
The Chatbot can answer from your articles and show its sources; images are invisible to it, so put the essentials in the text.
29€/month
To archive
The archive entered from Claude
Hand Claude or ChatGPT your notes and photos: through the MCP server, it prepares the article for each piece with your text and images, and asks for your approval before publishing.
Included

Plans for a fashion history app
Native apps are part of the Premium plan; to sell the archive, Memberships is added to it, while the Pro plan has it built in. Photos, audio and articles live in the storage of your plan.
| Premium · iOS, Android and the web | 55€ /month, billed yearly |
| Memberships for the archive, with Premium | 49€ /month |
| Pro · Memberships comes included | 105€ /month, billed yearly |
Apple and Google retain their fee on the archive subscription, typically 15%; GoodBarber none. Each store charges for its developer account.
Extension Store
An archive app draws on Memberships (sold with Premium as an option, bundled in Pro), articles, podcast episodes, the map, automatic push, the form, the Chatbot and the AI Extension Builder.
Fashion history app: your questions
Can I publish archive photos I did not take?
The app publishes what you upload; clearing the rights to each image is up to you: public domain, a museum's open collections, an agency license or the owner's permission. Credit the source in the caption.
Can I reserve archive photos for subscribers?
Yes, through articles: a gallery section stays visible to everyone, so publish each piece or series as an article and place the photos in the reserved paragraphs, after the preview. Subscriptions open once ten items are locked; a section fed by YouTube or a live broadcast stays public.
Can members of my association get free access?
Yes: from the back office you can gift a subscription manually, for as long as you like. An association that wants a members' area without selling anything should use Authentication and User groups instead; those two setups do not mix in one app.
Can listeners download the episodes?
Yes, episodes can be saved for listening offline, and the sound carries on in the background in the iOS and Android apps.
Can readers suggest a garment or a photo?
Yes, with a Form section: they send a photo and its story, you receive it by email and decide whether to publish it.
What plan does an archive app need?
Premium with Memberships, or Pro, which carries it already. On Standard, which is web only, no subscription can be sold.

GoodBarber is a powerful app builder.
GoodBarber is a powerful app builder. If you want to build your app using a pre-built template, GoodBarber is ideal for you. At Global Academy, we almost completed the 5th year using their easy-to-use pre-built platforms to build premium Apps for our customers. Also, Goodbarber's customer support is excellent. Highly recommended.
