## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-17

True Black Dark Mode is now free for everyone. No subscription needed for that pure-black, easy-on-the-eyes look in a dim studio.

This update also brings a full accessibility pass: VoiceOver now reads your pieces, ratings, and stats clearly instead of a jumble of icons and separators; the app respects Reduce Motion; and every screen (Journal, Firings, Materials, Insights) holds up properly at larger text sizes.

Plus some polish: filtering your Journal to zero results now tells you what happened (and gets you back), firing sessions edit in place instead of opening a separate form, and various small layout fixes throughout.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-05

iCloud sync indicator.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-04

Title is now directly editable. Credit to Chaz for that idea!

### 1.2 — 2026-07-31

PinchPot now works with Siri Shortcuts. Now you can ask Siri to log a piece, record a firing, or check what's in the kiln without touching your phone.

Also in this update:
• Guided studio setup for new users
• Full-screen photos with pinch-to-zoom
• Track multiple kilns per piece (bisque in one, glaze fire in another)
• Long-press the compose button to snap a photo first, then log
• Save photos to your camera roll automatically as you shoot
• Log a firing straight from a piece, with dates optional
• Select mode for batch duplicating, deleting, or re-staging pieces
• Refined List and Gallery views, with a matching header between them
• New Stain material category
• The search bar, star ratings, and glaze picker are all snappier and more reliable

### 1.1 — 2026-07-12

Apple Watch support is here! See your Recent pieces and what's still In Progress right on your wrist, synced live from your phone.

Also in this update:
• Picking a cone is simpler: tap to select, and add your own custom cones to the list
• Track a Bisque Cone alongside your Glaze Cone
• Drag to reorder photos on a piece
• Add multiple photos at once instead of one at a time
• Deleting a shared material or kiln now confirms first if it's still in use
• Firing Fee Calculator (Pro): cleaner layout and fixed input bugs
• Various fixes and polish
