Read full description

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.
