Perch Pot vs Clay Catalog

Organize your pottery work with an app that's always in your pocket. Track glazes with a tap, document what works (or doesn't) with a photo, and have it all searchable. Perch Pot helps you track everything about your pottery projects: • Search, sort, filter — Full text search for your notes, sort by what stage your project is at, or filter to a particular clay or custom tag • Photos — Pictures help you remember your work like nothing else, so they're front and center right alongside your notes • Automatic sync — Out of the box backup and syncing for all your projects privately on your iCloud account • Optimized workflows — Everything you track should be quick and painless so you can get back to making • Customize everything — What stages do you want to track your projects through? What glazes does your studio have? Customize stages, forms, clays, decorative techniques, glazes, and custom tags • Ideas — Capture project ideas like a neat decorative technique or a good glaze combo in a separate section • Undo delete — Anything you delete can be found and recovered from the recently deleted section of settings • Export your data — You shouldn't be locked into an app, so you can always export all your photos and data (and import data from elsewhere) I built the app I wanted to use for my pottery, and it's really improved how I work. Perch Pot will always be free so anyone can bring a bit more beauty into this world. Happy potting!
