iOS 27 support and some new features: - Ask your journal. Type a question in the search box, like "glazed shino pieces" or "anything that cracked", and you get back a filtered Journal. It happens on your device, and it needs Apple Intelligence. - Voice memos get transcribed as you record them, on your device, so you can search what you said. - Greenware counts down to bone dry. - Recipes and test tiles are linked now. A tile shows which recipe it tested, and a recipe shows how its tiles came out. - A firing can record the peak temperature, the witness cone, what it cost, and a photo of the kiln god. - Peak temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, whichever your controller shows. - Glazes and recipes can say which cones they're for, and you get a warning when a load is planned outside that. - Photos remember the stage they were taken at, and they can have a caption. - Photos are saved without their location. - Firings and materials show up in Spotlight now, and tapping one opens it. - Your units, drying time and layout follow you to your other devices. - Recently Deleted holds firings, kilns, materials, recipes and techniques too, not just pieces. (Pro) - Piece Layout lets you put a piece's sections in your own order, and hide the ones you don't use. (Pro) - Journal cards count down to a reminder instead of just showing a bell. (Pro) - Siri can check on a piece, tell you what needs attention, and set a reminder. (Pro) - The kiln shows up in your Apple Watch Smart Stack while a load is in. (Pro) - Scrolling is quicker on a big library, plus a lot of small polish.

The kiln timer. Set the firing length and cool-down on a kiln load and PinchPot counts down in Firings. With Pro, a Live Activity keeps the countdown on your Lock Screen and tells you when the kiln can be opened. A tab bar on iPhone gives Journal, Firings, Materials and Insights each a home, with Profile one tap away from every tab. With Pro, choose where Firings, Materials, Glaze Lab, Insights and the Calculator live: the tab bar, the toolbar, or hidden. Also new: - Ready to Fire groups waiting pieces by cone and fills in the kiln load for you - Add a piece to a load in the kiln, or a recent one, from the piece itself - Glaze recipes with a batch weigh-out - Size, weight, series, test tiles and sales on every piece - The full Orton cone range - A Centimetres switch for sizes - A test-tile filter in the Journal - Glaze Lab shelves that show the pairings you have not tried (Pro) - Insights for kiln time, sizes, series and revenue (Pro) - Lock Screen and StandBy widgets, and a kiln widget (Pro) - A redesigned Apple Watch app with complications, and a kiln timer you can start from your wrist (Pro)

V1.3: More Free, even more Pro. Logging is free and unlimited. PinchPot Pro now includes: piece reminders, Glaze Lab (browse every glaze combination you've tried), a fully customizable menu, Insights, home-screen widgets, an Apple Watch app, Recently Deleted, journal export, a firing fee calculator, and your choice of default view. Plus Siri Shortcuts, a guided first-launch setup, multi-kiln firings, separate bisque/glaze cone tracking, voice memos, camera-roll auto-save, and a redesigned, more accessible interface throughout. Thanks for your support. - Alex

True Black Dark Mode is now free for everyone. No subscription needed for that pure-black, easy-on-the-eyes look in a dim studio. This update also brings a full accessibility pass: VoiceOver now reads your pieces, ratings, and stats clearly instead of a jumble of icons and separators; the app respects Reduce Motion; and every screen (Journal, Firings, Materials, Insights) holds up properly at larger text sizes. Plus some polish: filtering your Journal to zero results now tells you what happened (and gets you back), firing sessions edit in place instead of opening a separate form, and various small layout fixes throughout.

PinchPot now works with Siri Shortcuts. Now you can ask Siri to log a piece, record a firing, or check what's in the kiln without touching your phone. Also in this update: • Guided studio setup for new users • Full-screen photos with pinch-to-zoom • Track multiple kilns per piece (bisque in one, glaze fire in another) • Long-press the compose button to snap a photo first, then log • Save photos to your camera roll automatically as you shoot • Log a firing straight from a piece, with dates optional • Select mode for batch duplicating, deleting, or re-staging pieces • Refined List and Gallery views, with a matching header between them • New Stain material category • The search bar, star ratings, and glaze picker are all snappier and more reliable

Apple Watch support is here! See your Recent pieces and what's still In Progress right on your wrist, synced live from your phone. Also in this update: • Picking a cone is simpler: tap to select, and add your own custom cones to the list • Track a Bisque Cone alongside your Glaze Cone • Drag to reorder photos on a piece • Add multiple photos at once instead of one at a time • Deleting a shared material or kiln now confirms first if it's still in use • Firing Fee Calculator (Pro): cleaner layout and fixed input bugs • Various fixes and polish
