## What is Pottr?

Pottr is a pottery journal for ceramic artists, hobbyists, and students. Document every piece you make — from raw clay to the final firing — with stages, technical data, photos, sketches, and reusable material libraries.

Everything lives in your private iCloud. No accounts, no servers, no ads, no tracking.

— STAGE TIMELINE —
Track each piece through its lifecycle: To Do → Formed → Trimmed → Bisqued → Glazed → Finished. Stage dates auto-log as you advance, with editable history and auto-fill when you skip ahead.

— FIRING LOGS —
Record every firing with method, atmosphere, temperature or cone, and notes. Toggle between °C / °F and Orton cones with automatic conversion.

— DECORATION LAYERS —
Capture glazes, slips, underglazes, oxides, and stains per piece. Each layer logs surface area, application method, and coat count, and references reusable material libraries.

— MATERIAL LIBRARIES —
Six pre-seeded libraries — clay bodies, glazes, slips, underglazes, oxides, stains — with real-world products from Amaco, Mayco, Coyote, Spectrum, Laguna, Standard Ceramic Supply, Highwater, Scarva, Valentines, Cerama, Silica Nordic, Mason, and more. Add your own at any time. Search, favorites, and filters by manufacturer, country of origin, and firing range.

— DIMENSIONS & WEIGHTS —
Track height, width, depth, and weights at each stage (wet, leather hard, bisque, finished). Metric and imperial both supported, auto-detected from your device.

— SHRINKAGE CALCULATOR —
Calculate wet-to-fired or fired-to-wet sizes from any clay body's shrinkage percentage. Plan your forms with confidence.

— SKETCHES —
Draw designs with Apple Pencil or your finger. Sketch standalone or attach to a project. Multiple sketches per piece, all editable.

— PHOTOS & VIDEOS —
Capture or import photos and short videos per project. Configurable quality, with optional bulk recompression to free up storage.

— SHARING & EXPORT —
Generate a multi-page PDF report or a single image card from any project — choose what to include. Share full projects as .pottr files (a portable bundle of JSON, photos, videos, and sketches). Export material libraries as CSV.

— ICLOUD SYNC —
Automatic sync across iPhone and iPad via your personal iCloud. Offline-first — works with no signal and catches up when you're back online. Nothing is sent to any third party.

— SEVEN LANGUAGES —
Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Catalan, and Danish. Switch the app language independently of your device language.

— FREE WITH OPTIONAL TIPS —
Pottr is free with no ads, no subscriptions, and no tracking. If the app earns a place in your studio, you can leave a one-time tip — purely optional, never gated.

Made by a hobbyist for hobbyists.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-29

Every piece now remembers its story.

HISTORY
Each project keeps a record of what changed and when: stage moves, measurements and weights, the clay body, glazes and other decoration layers, firings, photos, videos and sketches. Open History at the bottom of a project to read it, newest first. Old entries follow your current units and language, so switching to inches updates them too. History starts with this version.

SKETCH FIRST, DECIDE LATER
Save a sketch without choosing a project. It waits on the Sketch tab until you add it to one — or you delete it. The Sketch tab is now an overview of all your sketches: a sketch that belongs to a project is deleted from that project.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
• Photo and video captions can be edited again.
• A project you have just exported can be deleted again.
• When iCloud brings a second copy of a stage or material to a new device, Pottr merges them instead of showing both.
• Browse Full Library no longer freezes.
• In the project form, layer changes wait for Save, so Cancel really undoes them.
• Clearer VoiceOver labels on photos, videos, sketches, the coat buttons and the Default View setting.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-01

Make Pottr follow your process.

CUSTOM STAGES
The six built-in stages are now just a starting point. Add your own — a drying stage between trimming and the bisque firing, a second glaze firing at the end — and put them anywhere in the lifecycle. Reorder them by dragging, give them a colour and an icon, and every list, filter and timeline follows along.

NEVER FORGET A DETAIL
Move a piece into a stage and Pottr offers to fill in what that stage expects — the clay body you formed it from, the glaze you just dipped it in. It catches you at the one moment the answer is still in your head. It is always an offer, never a gate: the stage moves either way, and you decide what each stage should expect.

SEARCH THAT FINDS THINGS
Search now matches every field on a project and its records — notes, clay, glazes, firings, dimensions, dates — and opens the stage section holding the match.

SEVEN LANGUAGES, PROPERLY
A thorough pass over every translation, including the whole in-app help, with ceramics terminology corrected by native speakers in Catalan, Spanish and Danish.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
• Stages and material libraries now rebuild themselves if they ever go missing, so a restore or a reinstall can no longer leave you with an empty list.
• The detail view, edit form, PDF and share sheet all follow the same section order.
• Custom stages travel with a project through .pottr import and export.
• Stage history no longer falls back to "To Do" when it cannot resolve a stage.
• The shrinkage calculator reads and writes decimals the way your region does.
• Accessibility labels on icon-only controls throughout, with decorative symbols hidden from VoiceOver.
• "PDF Report" is now simply "PDF", and the share format picker is translated.
