ClayNote vs Fired Pottery

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

Track every pottery project from wet clay through glaze-fired, log the clay body and glazes you used, and keep your studio photos in one place instead of scattered across your camera roll. Each project moves through five stages — planning, greenware, bisque-fired, glazing, and glaze-fired — with separate parts for sets and series. The glaze helper counts coats as you brush them on, so you don't lose track halfway through a complex application. Browse a catalog of over 1,500 commercial glazes from major brands. Save your favorites, log your own test tiles, and see at a glance which of your past projects used a given glaze. The community feed is optional. Share finished work, see what others have made with the same materials, and skip the social part entirely if you'd rather just keep your own records. Works fully offline. Sign-in unlocks community post publishing, cloud backup, and a public profile — but the core journal works without an account. No ads, no analytics, no tracking SDKs.
