## What is 釉式Yushiki?

Yushiki turns a glaze recipe into the numbers potters actually reason with. Type in your materials and amounts, and it instantly shows the Seger (unity) formula with the bases normalized to 1, the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio, and where the glaze lands on the Stull chart. Everything in the core app runs fully offline on your device.

Built for potters and ceramicists who mix their own glazes and want to understand what a recipe is doing, not just follow it.

CORE FEATURES (FREE, OFFLINE)
- Recipe to formula: enter materials and weights to get the Seger unity formula, silica-to-alumina ratio, and a live position on the Stull chart.
- Materials database: representative analyses are built in, and you can edit entries or add your own.
- Colorant reference: how iron, copper, cobalt and others develop across different addition levels, with oxidation vs. reduction differences and notes to watch for.
- Firing log: record firing date, cone/SK, atmosphere, your rating, photos and notes. Each logged firing adds a point to the Stull chart, so your records grow into a map of your own kiln over time.
- Complete backup: export and restore recipes, materials, experiments, firing logs, and photos in one archive.
- Sharing: share a recipe as text, or export a card image with the formula and chart included.

PRO FEATURES (SUBSCRIPTION)
- Reverse solver: work backward from a target formula to a set of material amounts.
- Experiment ledger and Next Experiment: saved line/triangle blends, kiln runs, test pieces, and small 3–5 test plans grounded in your own records.
- Recipe comparison: place recipes side by side to compare formula differences and thermal expansion.
- CSV and Japanese OCR import: read analysis tables or paper recipes and confirm every material and amount before saving.
- Material analysis versions: manage suppliers, lots, and analysis history.
- iCloud Sync: sync through your private Apple CloudKit database only after you explicitly turn it on.
- GPT review: submit a firing photo for analysis and suggestions for an adjusted recipe.

PRIVACY
Your recipes, materials, firing logs and photos are stored on-device by default. A Pro subscriber can explicitly enable iCloud Sync, which also stores this app data in their private Apple CloudKit database. There is no account or sign-in, and no third-party analytics, tracking, or crash-reporting SDK. When you tap to generate a GPT review, a recipe-derived composition summary, up to one firing photo, and a StoreKit-signed transaction used to verify the Pro subscription are sent to the developer's Cloudflare Workers. The transaction is checked with Apple and is not sent to OpenAI; only the composition summary and optional photo are forwarded to OpenAI. The app does no cross-app or cross-site tracking.

Thermal-expansion estimates and AI insights are meant as relative guides for comparing recipes, not guaranteed absolute values. Actual firing results vary with your materials, clay body, and firing conditions.

SUPPORTED DEVICES
iPhone / iPad (iOS 17+ / iPadOS 17+). The interface can be switched between Japanese and English in-app (technical data such as raw-material names remains in Japanese).

SUBSCRIPTION
Yushiki Pro is available as a monthly subscription at 400 yen or a yearly subscription at 3,000 yen, each with a 7-day free trial.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-07-29

Version 1.4 adds a kiln-unloading workflow that connects saved experiments with physical test pieces.

- Create A4, 40-up QR label PDFs from the Experiment Ledger
- Use the Work Queue to organize pieces with no linked firing log, awaiting evaluation, or missing photo/kiln details
- Open a piece by QR code, short test ID, or experiment name, then record its photo, surface, defects, rating, notes, and next action
- Create and share experiment-results PDFs with photos and firing conditions
- Improved QR scanning on rotated iPhone/iPad screens and PDF-generation reliability

QR codes contain only experiment and test-piece identifiers. Viewing and evaluating saved experiments and exporting their PDFs do not require Pro; the existing Pro requirement for creating new experiment plans is unchanged.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-18

Version 1.3 greatly expands the tools for recording glaze tests and planning what to try next.

- Experiment ledger for recipe revisions, kiln runs, test pieces, and results
- Small 3–5 piece, one-variable test plans grounded in your own firing records
- Japanese OCR import from the camera, photos, or pasted recipe text
- Supplier, lot, and analysis-history management for raw materials
- Optional iCloud Sync for Pro subscribers
- Complete backup of recipes, materials, experiments, firing logs, and photos
- Safer data migration and improved reliability for users updating from version 1.0

iCloud Sync operates only after the user explicitly enables it.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-08

No release notes.
