Core Capabilities

Every tool you need to design, construct, and verify down-insulated outdoor equipment.

Exact Fill Calculation

Determine precise grams of down per baffle for sleeping bags, quilts, puffer jackets, vests, duvets, and booties using temperature-driven algorithms.

Photo-Based Loft Measurement

Measure achieved loft by photographing your piece next to a reference card of known height. One photograph delivers accurate results.

Construction Fault Detection

Run nine automated checks including under-fill analysis, down leakage detection, and fill power verification against design specifications.

Project Archive System

Track completed builds over time with full data retention. Monitor loft degradation and performance metrics across your gear collection.

Temperature Rating Engine

Back-solve from target comfort temperature to required insulation loft. Accounts for fabric permeability, baffle design, and fill material properties.

Complete Offline Operation

All calculations and measurements work without internet access. No account registration or cloud sync required for full functionality.

How It Works

From concept to finished gear, Clyven guides you through every measurement and calculation.

Design Phase Calculation

Input your target comfort temperature and select from six shell fabrics with documented air permeability values. Choose one of eight baffle construction methods ranging from sewn-through to advanced V-baffle designs. The LoftEngine calculates required loft height and translates that into exact fill weight per chamber using your chosen material from the database of 12 real-world down specifications.

Construction Tracking

Monitor progress as you build with integrated kit lists and construction phase tracking. The app maintains running totals of down usage across all baffles, alerting you to discrepancies between planned and actual fill amounts in real time.

Verification and Archive

After construction, use the Loft Meter to photograph your piece with a reference card. The app measures achieved loft and compares it against design specifications. Archive completed projects with full environmental data, temperature ratings, and material details for future reference and performance tracking.

About the Development

Clyven was built for the cottage gear manufacturing community and serious DIY outdoor enthusiasts who demand precision in down-fill calculation. The app prioritizes offline functionality and data privacy with zero account requirements, no cloud dependencies, and complete local operation. All material specifications derive from industry-standard testing methods including IDFB and EN 12934 protocols. Version 1.2 represents refinements to the LoftEngine calculation system and expanded baffle construction support based on builder feedback.
