Track every pot from wet clay to the finished shelf. ClayNote helps potters and ceramicists document, track and reflect on every piece — from the first idea to the final glaze. Photograph a piece, tick off each stage as it dries, gets trimmed, bisqued and glazed, and write down what you did while you still remember it. FOLLOW EVERY PIECE Ideas, Formed, Trimmed, Bisqued, Glazed, Finished. Tick each stage as your piece gets there, and see at a glance what's drying on the shelf and what's waiting for the kiln. NOTES THAT COME BACK TO YOU Write a note at any stage — the clay body, how thin you pulled it, which shelf it sat on. Next time you make something similar, ClayNote shows you what you wrote the last time round. MAP YOUR SURFACE DECISIONS Record glazes, underglazes, slips, oxides and stamps, and mark on the photo itself exactly where each one went. YOUR WORK IS YOURS One tap saves everything — every piece, note and photo — as a spreadsheet and a folder of pictures you can keep on your computer or a cloud drive. No account, nothing locked in. SPARKS Save the shapes, glaze recipes and reels you love from Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest and YouTube, and keep them right next to your own work. ALSO • Your materials and methods, customisable to your studio • Collections and tags to organise your work your way • Search your collection by name, grouped by month • A home screen widget • Reminders to keep your journal going between sessions

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Blazed holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClayNote has 26 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Blazed's written reviews are positive against 63% of ClayNote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Blazed ships an update every 6 weeks, ClayNote monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
