Plan laundry loads from your own groups and measured dry weights

Whole-item packing with unresolved queues and explicit program-specific limits.

LoadLoom organises the weights you enter; it does not decide which fabrics or colours can be washed together. You define care groups and the relevant machine/program limit, then the app keeps those groups separate and packs whole items within the limits.

What it does

• Create up to 10 user-defined groups, including a separate-handling group that never enters machine loads.
• Keep up to 60 item rows, 200 individual pieces total and 20 pieces per row. Weight is per dry piece, not a row total.
• Enter grams, kilograms or pounds, rounded to whole grams. Leave unknown weights empty rather than using zero.
• Unknown, ungrouped or individually overweight items stay in a review queue; single pieces are never split to force a fit.
• Within each group, a best-fit-decreasing heuristic places heavier pieces first in the tightest remaining space that fits.
• Edit/delete groups and items, exclude rows, search/filter and undo up to 30 states. Deleting a group leaves its items waiting for reassignment.
• Inspect separate/review queues, a weight lower bound and comparison summary totals.
• Export editable JSON up to 1 MB or a CSV covering all plan sections; filters do not hide report rows.

A practical workflow

1. Read actual garment labels and machine/program information, then define the appropriate groups yourself.
2. Weigh dry pieces and enter per-piece weights and quantities.
3. Resolve unknown or overweight entries before treating the suggested assignment as a complete plan.
4. Review the grouped loads against real volume and care compatibility, then save JSON or the full CSV.

A worked use case

Two 600 g items are entered as 600 g per piece with quantity two. If one 3 kg piece exceeds its group’s 2 kg program limit, it stays unresolved rather than becoming two artificial 1.5 kg pieces.

What you can keep

• Editable JSON
• Full-plan CSV

Plans stay in tab memory. There is no autosave or cloud sync; sample groups and weights are fictional.

What it does not promise

• No fabric, colour, label compatibility or washing-method inference is performed.
• The heuristic is not guaranteed to minimise the number of loads. Volume, cleaning performance and water/energy savings are not calculated.
• Comparison stores summary numbers, not a second editable project. CSV import is not supported.
