ClayRecall is a private pottery journal for remembering how each piece was made — and what to change next time.
CAPTURE IN CONTEXT
Keep photos, voice observations and editable transcriptions with the right piece and batch. Review drafts in Inbox, grouped by piece, individually or together. Gesture mode starts with piece and batch selection, uses on-device hand recognition on supported hardware, and gives haptic and sound feedback while your hands are muddy.
FOLLOW YOUR WORKFLOW
Use built-in or custom stage templates. Each piece keeps its own workflow history. Set stage reminders for trimming, bone dry or booking a firing, and use the pickup list to find your batches in a shared studio by maker mark, class code, shelf or kiln load.
GLAZES, CLAY AND FIRING
Track clay, glaze layers, planned and actual firing, test tiles, shrinkage, absorption, observations and outcomes. Save glaze recipes with materials and additives and scale them to a batch weight. Enter cones in any common format with reference temperatures, and work in °C or °F.
KILN LOG
Record a kiln load once and write its actual firing to every batch inside, each with its own kiln position. Save firing programs with segments, cone and slow cool and apply them to a plan or a load.
TEST TILES AND COMPARISON
Lay out a test tile grid and create variation batches in one step. Compare up to four batches side by side, within a piece or across pieces, with differences highlighted and photos alongside. Review changes before copying firing values.
FIND AND VIEW YOUR WORK
Search your library, filter by materials, cone or results, and keep your chosen view when switching tabs. Preview the complete photo, zoom to original pixel size, or crop a separate copy. Photos are stored without location data.
SIRI AND SHORTCUTS
Add a pottery note, mark a problem, advance a piece to its next stage or start gesture capture from Siri, Shortcuts or the Action button.
KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR RECORDS
Preview PDF and CSV exports before sharing, or export the whole library as CSV. Import CSV records after reviewing them, including new batches for pieces you already have. Create validated full backups and restore with confirmation. Optional iCloud Drive backup keeps dated full copies; it is file backup, not live multi-device synchronization.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account and no analytics. Your records stay on your device and in backups you choose to make. Gesture hand recognition runs on device; voice transcription uses Apple speech recognition only when you ask for it.
