Behind-the-scenes fixes and polish to keep your studio running smoothly. Thanks for making with Glaze Lab.

This update fixes a crash some users saw right after updating to the last version. The app now opens reliably again. Thanks for your patience — back to the glaze bench.

v2.5 — iCloud, iPad & Polish Your glazes are now in iCloud. Add a recipe on your iPhone and it appears on your iPad automatically — no export needed. iPad gets a full sidebar layout, so your library and tools sit side by side the way a studio bench should. Every main screen now shows the warm cream background the app was always meant to have. Recipe ingredients list a "Parts" header so the ratio column is clearly labelled. The Batch Calculator now greets you with a quick guide when no recipe is selected. Photos support pinch-to-zoom and double-tap to reset throughout the app. As always — made by a potter, for potters.

Capture and share more of your studio. • Snap a photo on the spot — when you add a photo to a recipe or glaze test, point your camera at the pot or tile and capture it right there, instead of jumping to the Camera app and back. • Share your glaze tests — just like recipes, your test tiles now get a clean share card with the result, clay body, cone, and notes, plus a scannable App Store code. • Truer colors on shared photos — the Photo share card now shows your piece in full, true color, so a glaze looks the way it actually fired. Thanks for firing with Glaze Lab. Keep the ideas coming!

Plan your firings — and follow them live. • Firing Schedules — Build a reusable target curve once: name each stage, set its target temperature and how long it should take. Attach it to any firing and the live log overlays your target curve, highlights the stage you're in, and tells you how far ahead of or behind plan you are at a glance. • A clearer firing chart — The temperature graph now reads in hours on long firings, lets you zoom between your live readings and the full plan, and scales to your kiln's range so the curve fills the view. • Redesigned recipe share cards — Sharing a glaze looks better than ever: a bold photo layout and a clean classic layout, each carrying your full recipe and a scannable App Store code.

Hands-free help and a smoother studio. Siri & Shortcuts • Ask for batch amounts out loud — "batch amounts in Glaze Lab" picks a recipe and a size, then reads the dry-material weights back to you. Perfect when your hands are covered in glaze. • Jump straight to a recipe or tool by voice, too. Better recipe sharing • Share cards now fit your photo properly — no more awkward cropping. Pick from Classic, Photo, or Minimal layouts, each with a scannable App Store code. More recipes & flexibility • Added Chots' Chun (formulated by Chots Levenson) to the community recipes. • "My Glazes" is now "My Recipes" — it holds your slips, waddings, and kiln washes too, not just glazes. Polish throughout • Cleaner, more consistent scrolling in Discover and My Recipes. • Friendlier wording in Settings, plus a few small fixes. Made for potters, by a potter.

A polish update focused on making recipes faster and more flexible to work with. New recipe types • Log slips, waddings, kiln washes, and underglazes right alongside your glazes — the batch calculator and photos work for all of them, and the chemistry panels stay out of the way where they don't apply. • Filter your recipes by type to pull up just your slips or waddings. More community recipes • Re-added a dozen classic community glazes to Discover, including Chun Blue, Copper Red, Celadon, Kaki Iron Red, Leach Clear, and the salt-fire whites and yellows. Smoother recipe entry • Amount fields now start empty — just tap and type, no zero to delete first. • Bigger, easier-to-tap fields throughout the recipe form. • A live "base total" shows your base ingredients adding up as you go, so you catch a typo before you mix. Fixes & refinements • Fixed the Import Data button. • Smoothed out a Discover scrolling hiccup. • Tidied up tasks, the keyboard, and a few labels around the app.

Glaze Lab has been rebuilt from the ground up as a fully native app — faster, smoother, and ready to grow with your studio. New in this release: • Live firing graph — watch the curve climb as you log temperatures, with pause/resume and reading notes • Kiln photos — record before (loading) and after (results) shots on logged firings to learn from each load • Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets — your next task, this month's books, and a live firing at a glance • Cone Chart — Orton cone temperatures in °F and °C • 18 community glaze recipes, including classic wood-fire and shino bases • Link glaze tests to a recipe to see its full test history over time • Share a recipe as a clean, branded card Plus studio-profile defaults, haptics, and accessibility throughout. Your data carries over automatically. Made for potters, by a potter.

Edit your recipes. Tap the pencil on any recipe you made to update ingredients, cone, atmosphere, surface, color, or notes. Saves in place — no more delete-and-rebuild. Open and edit your tests. Tap any glaze test to see big photos, full notes, the result, and edit or delete it. Defects troubleshooter. A new reference in the Tools tab covers crazing, crawling, pinholes, blistering, and shivering — chemistry causes, application causes, and fixes for each. Chemistry depth. Five new filter chips on Discover (High silica, Boron flux, Lithium, Magnesium, Low expansion). Thirty-plus new pottery materials added — Mason stains, Ferro frits, Gerstley substitutes, specific wood ashes, and more. The materials database has been audited against Digitalfire for accuracy. Dark mode. Settings → Preferences → Appearance. Warm dark palette designed for studio lighting. Better first-run guidance. New tip cards on empty Recipe, Test, and Firing screens help you get started.

Backup & restore. Export your studio data — recipes, firings, books, materials, tasks, photos — to iCloud Drive, Files, AirDrop, or anywhere your phone can save a file. Restore on a new device, after a reset, or before a big change. Your work stays yours. Pottery glossary. A searchable reference of common pottery terms in the Tools tab, organized by category — chemistry, materials, glazes, firing, defects, process, tools. Plain definitions, with a "why it matters" note on the tricky ones. Bigger recipe photos. Studio shots now fill the card in a taller 4:5 format when you've uploaded a photo. Recipes without photos keep their compact look. Multi-photo swipe. Add more than one photo to a recipe and swipe through them on both the card and detail views.

A few studio-friendly upgrades: • Fit-fix suggestions live right inside the fit panel now — save a fix as a variant or apply it with one tap. • Tasks got Apple-Notes-style polish: edit subtasks inline, drag to reorder, tap rows to open. • Quality of life improvements — no more accidental text selection while scrolling. Happy potting!

v1.0.4 brings: • Smart material name matching — type "Custer" or "Sapdoumene" and we know what you mean • 22 new materials in the chemistry database (kaolins, fireclays, frits, borates, slips) • Recipe page redesigned — chemistry, fit, and notes all consolidated • Delete saved firing sessions you don't need • Default kiln type matches your onboarding choice • Tighter header spacing across every screen
