EventMonkey helps you capture event information without the tedious data entry. Point your camera at any poster, flyer, or screenshot, and the app extracts the date, time, location, and description using smart text recognition. Then it creates a calendar event for you. How it works: Take a photo of an event poster (or upload one from your photo library). EventMonkey reads the text, figures out what's relevant, and shows you a preview. Review the details, make any tweaks, and tap to save it to your calendar. That's it. Perfect for: - Concert and show tickets - Class schedules and syllabi - Work conferences and seminars - Community events and meetups - Sports games and tournaments - Any printed or digital event information The app works with your existing calendars (iCloud, Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.). Events get saved wherever you normally keep them. No separate app to check. We built this because manually typing event details is annoying. You're looking at all the information right there on a poster, and you still have to type it all into your phone. EventMonkey fixes that.

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.
