About

KilnNote

Read full description

Bring your winning recipe to the next piece. KilnNote is a pottery record-keeping app for glazes, firing logs, and progress tracking. "I nailed that celadon combo once — and then I couldn't reproduce it." Sound familiar? KilnNote keeps every glaze, clay, and firing detail in one place so you can reproduce what worked. 【What you can do】 ▷ Log works piece by piece Save bisque, glaze application, and final firing temps, glazes used, and results (Success / Needs review / Failure) as a step-by-step log. Every decision, always at hand. ▷ Kiln load Fired several works together? Add the same process to all of them at once — enter the date, temperature, and firing type just once. ▷ Progress at a glance Auto-status from the latest firing result — Success, Needs review, Failure, or Not started. See it in the list or detail view instantly. ▷ Tags & search Organize works with free tags like "Exhibition" or "Class piece." Filter by tag or title, and the search state stays put as you navigate. ▷ Glaze master Record glaze name, maker, and color notes — plus a color sample photo. "Works that used this glaze" shows the photos and firing conditions of every process that used it, so you can compare results. ▷ Photo album for each work Add up to 20 photos at a time from your library. The date taken is read from each photo, and you can link each photo to a process to track shrinkage and color changes. ▷ Pinch-to-zoom Zoom into work, firing, and glaze sample photos to check texture and color up close. ▷ Duplicate as template Clone a successful work as a template and carry the same steps into a new piece. ▷ Share cards Turn a work or a glaze into an image card — Square, Portrait, Story, or Landscape — and choose which details to show. ▷ Export & import (free) Back up as CSV, PDF, or a ZIP with photos (works, processes, glazes, and photos together). Import from CSV or ZIP. Great for moving to a new device or keeping class notes. ▷ Board view (Pro) See all works organized by status — Success, Needs review, Failure, Not started — like pieces arranged on a studio shelf. ▷ Test piece comparison (Pro) Slide between two photos to compare glaze colors and textures side by side. 【Who it's for】 ・Potters who want to reproduce a glaze success ・Studio potters managing multiple test tiles ・Beginners who want to track what they learned in class ・Anyone who can't remember which glaze combo worked last time ・Home potters who want a private, offline log 【Your data stays on your device】 All work data, photos, and firing logs are stored locally on your iPhone/iPad. Nothing is sent to external servers. No account required. 【Pricing】 ・Free: Up to 5 works. All logging features, kiln load, photo albums, duplication, share cards, CSV/PDF/ZIP export, and data import at no cost. ・Pro (one-time purchase): Unlimited works, board view, and test piece comparison. Buy once — no subscription, no recurring fees. ------------------ Developer: Kore Apps Support: support@kore-apps.com ------------------
