KilnNote vs ClayTrace

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 / Review / Fail) as a step-by-step log. Every decision, always at hand. ▷ Progress at a glance Auto-status from the latest firing result — Success, Review, Fail, 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 attach a glaze sample photo. From each glaze, trace every piece and firing that used it. ▷ Pinch-to-zoom Zoom into work, firing, and glaze sample photos to check texture and color up close. ▷ Export & import (free) Back up as CSV, PDF, or photo ZIP. Import from CSV or ZIP. Great for device migration or class notes. ▷ Board view (Pro) See all works organized by status — Success, Review, Fail, 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. ▷ Duplicate a work (Pro) Clone a successful work as a template.

Remember why a piece worked, and make the next one even better. ClayTrace is a pottery journal that keeps the whole story of every piece in one place: the clay body, each glaze layer, every firing, the photos and what you learned. When a glaze finally comes out of the kiln just right, you'll know exactly how to do it again. SNAP NOW, FILL IN LATER Hands covered in clay? Take a quick photo and keep working. Add the stage, dimensions, clay body and next step once your hands are clean. Save an idea with reference photos, a source link and notes, and it will be waiting when you're ready to make it. EVERY STEP, EVERY GLAZE LAYER Follow a piece from throwing or handbuilding through trimming, bisque and glaze firing. Record glazes in the order you applied them, with coats, area and application method. Set up your clay bodies and glazes once, then reuse them on every piece. FIND WHAT WORKED Search one place instead of your camera roll, notebooks and sticky notes. Pull up every piece made with a glaze, clay body or technique and see how each one turned out. All your photos come together in one Gallery. SEE HOW YOU'RE GROWING Follow your skills and milestones through pieces you actually made. When a piece deserves it, turn it into a finished-piece card or share the whole process as slides. YOUR JOURNAL STAYS YOURS No account and no ads.
