Dasti is the pottery tracker built for ceramicists. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned potter, Dasti helps you document every piece you make, from the first pull to the final firing, and share your finished work with a community of potters, only when you want to. TRACK EVERY PIECE Log each pot with photos, form method, clay body, weight, and key dates. Watch pieces move through six stages: Idea, Formed, Trimmed, Bisqued, Glazed, and Finished. An automatic timeline shows when each stage happened, so you can retrace your process months later. Finish a piece and rate the outcome, tag defects like warped, crazed, pinholed, or cracked, and build an honest archive of what's working. CAPTURE 360° SPINS Record a rotating video of any piece for a full view a single photo can't show. Spins play fullscreen on your profile and in the community feed. LOG YOUR FIRINGS Record kiln type, cone, temperature, atmosphere, and soak time for every load. Track which pieces were in each firing, log per piece outcomes, and watch your success rate climb over time. ORGANIZE YOUR GLAZES Keep a searchable library of your glazes with application method, coat counts, layer order, and notes. Stack multiple glazes on a single piece to reproduce exactly what worked. MANAGE YOUR CLAY BODIES Maintain a catalog of the clay bodies you use. Record brand, type, firing range, and color, so every piece has a complete material record. STUDIO AT A GLANCE Active pieces organized by stage. A photo grid makes it easy to find any piece in seconds. NOTES & IDEAS A dedicated space for studio notes, sketches, and reminders. Pin the ones you reach for often, attach photos, search instantly. SHARE WITH THE COMMUNITY Browse finished work from potters around the world in a clean, fullscreen feed. Like pieces to show appreciation. Likes are fully anonymous, so no one sees who liked what. Visit any potter's profile to see their finished work in one place. Sharing is always optional: every piece stays private until you finish it, make it public, and explicitly post it. Unshare any time. BUILT FOR POTTERS Designed around the real studio workflow, not a generic notes app adapted for ceramics. Every feature exists because potters need it. FREE FOREVER All core features are free. No subscriptions, no hidden fees, no credit card required. PRIVACY FIRST Your data stays yours. Sharing is always optional. Export anytime, delete anytime.
