About Woloomo

We build things that give people back a sense they've lost.

Woloomo is the company behind CUE. Our mission is to restore independence and dignity to the 300 million people worldwide who live with blindness, low vision, or color blindness — one ordinary moment at a time, starting with getting dressed.

Why we exist

Getting dressed is the first thing you do every day. For most of us, it's automatic — a glance in the mirror, a decision about navy or black, done. For more than 300 million people worldwide, it isn't automatic. It's a small, daily loss of autonomy: asking someone else, memorizing arrangements, settling for mismatched, or simply not caring because caring hurts more.

That small loss, repeated every single morning for years, is one of the quietest and most corrosive forms of lost independence. We think it deserves a technical answer. So we built one.

“When you look good, you feel good. That should not be a privilege of sight.”

What we're doing about it

CUE is the world's first voice-guided clothing intelligence device, purpose-built for the visually impaired and the people who care for them. It sees, identifies, and speaks — using a 14-channel spectral sensor more precise than the human eye, on-device computer vision, and a caregiver-controlled rules engine. No app. No screen. No subscription required. Just place CUE in the closet, and say “Hey CUE.”

CueTrue™, the color-identification technology inside CUE, is also available as a standalone product called CueBe — a small puck that names the color of any fabric you place on it, out loud, with lab-grade accuracy. One device for independence in the closet. One device for independence at the thrift store, the suitcase, the laundry basket. Both built on the same science.

Where we are

Woloomo is a small, focused product company based in Holladay, Utah. We ship hardware, we write software, and we do our own industrial design. Our first production run of CUE is shipping now. We're hiring carefully and partnering with low-vision advocacy organizations to make sure the product we build is the product the community actually wants.

If you're reading this because you're considering CUE for a parent, a spouse, a friend, or yourself — thank you. We don't take that lightly. If you're reading this because you work in vision rehabilitation, accessibility research, assisted living, or ophthalmology and you think we should talk, we'd like that very much.

Who's building this

Patrick Connolly, Founder

Woloomo is the fourth company Patrick has founded. The previous three each did something the internet or the media landscape hadn't done before. CUE is the first one aimed squarely at restoring human dignity rather than building infrastructure or spectacle — and in many ways, everything before it was rehearsal for this.

Earlier

First commercial SQL database server on the web

Before the modern internet had meaningful structured data, Patrick shipped one of the first commercially-deployed web-facing SQL servers. The web was almost entirely static text at the time.

One more thing to build.

CUE is not a startup swing at an unfamiliar market. It is a deliberate, patient return to the kind of engineering that actually changes how someone's day feels. If that resonates, we'd love for you to be part of it.
