I found a bunch of features quite handy. To start with, the design is peak and intuitive. Then the organisation of the folders made me focused and more involved in cosplans.
This is the first cosplay app with everything in one place, instead of a mess of different apps. I’ll use it!

Tori
Knows your checklist, shopping list and con date
Comic Con is in 9 days and my wig is still a sad bald styrofoam head.
Okay, no panic. Wig first: it needs two nights to set. Armor can wait, foam is fast. You've got 3 of 8 tasks done, so this is very doable.
What do I do tonight?
Tonight: wash and detangle the wig, then pin it to the head. Tomorrow you style it. That's two tasks ticked before bed.
Can I skip the cape?
You could, but the cape is what makes you recognisable from across the hall. Try a no-hem version: cut, seal the edges, done in one evening.
One reference photo becomes a draft checklist and shopping list. You edit it; the making stays yours.
Attach one or two images of the character you would like to cosplay.
She turns a single reference photo into a draft task list to beat the fear of the blank page.
You shape the draft your way, and the whole creative process stays yours!



Costori is a cosplay planner app for iPhone that keeps a whole build in one place, from your first idea to the photo of you wearing it: grouped checklists, a reference board, progress photos, a shopping list with a budget, and countdowns to your next convention. Tori, your planning partner, turns a reference photo into a ready-made plan you edit.
Yes. Costori is free to download, and the whole organizer is free, with no limits on cosplays, photos or checklists. The free plan includes 5 Tori build plans a week and 5 chat messages a day, resetting at midnight in your time zone (plans on Monday). Costori Pro adds unlimited Tori, a full portfolio and calendar sync.
Cosplanner is no longer on the App Store or Google Play, and it hadn't been updated since 2020. Costori is an actively maintained alternative with unlimited progress photos, grouped checklists, con countdowns, and Tori, who drafts a checklist and shopping list from one reference photo. See the full comparison.
Costori is on iPhone today, on the App Store. Costori for Android is in testing and coming to Google Play soon.
Yes. In Costori, show Tori a reference photo and she drafts a grouped checklist and shopping list that you review and edit before saving. You can also chat with her about any cosplay or upcoming event: she already knows your checklist, shopping list and con date. Chatting is free within your daily allowance.
Costori gives you a free portfolio page at costori.app/cosplayer/your-name to show your finished cosplays and, if you choose, the story, progress photos and wear photos of each build. The free plan shows up to 3 cosplays and Pro shows all of them. It stays off until you publish it, and prices, notes and your email never appear. More in our privacy policy.
Assign a cosplay to an event in Costori and you get a live countdown plus a readiness bar based on your checklist progress. You can also add deadlines, like contest entry or tickets, and get a reminder before each one.
Yes. Costori works in English, Ukrainian and Georgian, including Tori's answers, with more languages planned.
