Pottr vs MarkDown Reader

Pottr is a pottery journal for ceramic artists, hobbyists, and students. Document every piece you make — from raw clay to the final firing — with stages, technical data, photos, sketches, and reusable material libraries. Everything lives in your private iCloud. No accounts, no servers, no ads, no tracking. — STAGE TIMELINE — Track each piece through its lifecycle: To Do → Formed → Trimmed → Bisqued → Glazed → Finished. Stage dates auto-log as you advance, with editable history and auto-fill when you skip ahead. — FIRING LOGS — Record every firing with method, atmosphere, temperature or cone, and notes. Toggle between °C / °F and Orton cones with automatic conversion. — DECORATION LAYERS — Capture glazes, slips, underglazes, oxides, and stains per piece. Each layer logs surface area, application method, and coat count, and references reusable material libraries. — MATERIAL LIBRARIES — Six pre-seeded libraries — clay bodies, glazes, slips, underglazes, oxides, stains — with real-world products from Amaco, Mayco, Coyote, Spectrum, Laguna, Standard Ceramic Supply, Highwater, Scarva, Valentines, Cerama, Silica Nordic, Mason, and more. Add your own at any time. Search, favorites, and filters by manufacturer, country of origin, and firing range. — DIMENSIONS & WEIGHTS — Track height, width, depth, and weights at each stage (wet, leather hard, bisque, finished). Metric and imperial both supported, auto-detected from your device. — SHRINKAGE CALCULATOR — Calculate wet-to-fired or fired-to-wet sizes from any clay body's shrinkage percentage. Plan your forms with confidence. — SKETCHES — Draw designs with Apple Pencil or your finger. Sketch standalone or attach to a project. Multiple sketches per piece, all editable. — PHOTOS & VIDEOS — Capture or import photos and short videos per project. Configurable quality, with optional bulk recompression to free up storage. — SHARING & EXPORT — Generate a multi-page PDF report or a single image card from any project — choose what to include. Share full projects as .pottr files (a portable bundle of JSON, photos, videos, and sketches). Export material libraries as CSV. — ICLOUD SYNC — Automatic sync across iPhone and iPad via your personal iCloud. Offline-first — works with no signal and catches up when you're back online. Nothing is sent to any third party. — SEVEN LANGUAGES — Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Catalan, and Danish. Switch the app language independently of your device language. — FREE WITH OPTIONAL TIPS — Pottr is free with no ads, no subscriptions, and no tracking. If the app earns a place in your studio, you can leave a one-time tip — purely optional, never gated. Made by a hobbyist for hobbyists.

MarkDown Reader is a free, lightweight viewer for Markdown files. Double-click any .md file and read it beautifully rendered — no editor chrome, no distractions, just your document. It also turns a checklist into somewhere to work. Tick a task and the change is written straight back to the file, one character, instantly. Add a note to any item and it is saved as an ordinary indented bullet, so every other Markdown tool still reads it. On the Mac, drag a file onto an item to attach it, and click the chip to open it again later. Nothing is locked in a database. Everything this app writes is plain Markdown you can read in any editor. - Clean rendering of headings, tables, code blocks, and images, in colour, light or dark - Several documents in one window as tabs; drag Markdown files in from the Finder (macOS) - Your windows and tabs come back when you reopen the app (macOS) - Collapsible answers, superscripts, highlights and other HTML formatting tags - LaTeX math, typeset offline: $…$ inline and $$…$$ display - Interactive task lists: click a checkbox and the .md file updates instantly - Notes on any checklist item, saved as plain Markdown - Attach files to checklist items by dragging them in (macOS) - Clickable file references: a path in a code span opens in your editor (macOS) - Show Source: the file's raw text with line numbers, read-only, one keystroke away - Table of contents sidebar for long documents; hide it, or the tabs, per window (macOS) - Full-text search with match navigation - Live reload — edit the file elsewhere and the view keeps up - Safe saving: a tick or note never overwrites changes made in another app - Use the full window width for wide documents (macOS) - Zoom, print, and export to PDF - Light or Dark on your terms: follow the system, or pin the reader to either (macOS) - Copy the document's path or reveal it in the Finder (macOS) - Opens .md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd, and .mkdn files - Sandboxed and private: no accounts, no analytics, no data collection
