ClayNote is more than a tracker — it’s a companion for your clay practice, helping you remember, learn, and grow with every piece.
I love how this app understands what I need for every part of my pottery process. I’ve tried many pottery tracking apps and this one makes the most sense for me. The note taking layout feels intuitive and well thought out. I also LOVE that I can mark my glaze area directly on an image! That’s super useful for pieces with complex surface design!I do wish that it lets me to “search” my pieces by a specific glaze, form, etc, so that I can better look for relevant notes I have for past pieces.Great app overall and it became a crucial park of my pottery process 🥹

Stage notes are a game changer!Man, being able to jot down a quick note at each stage really helps me think through what I did right (and what I’d fix next time). It’s made me a lot more mindful about my process.Would be cool if y’all added a way to search or even have the app look through my notes to find patterns or give tips. That’d be pretty awesome. This app’s become my go-to sidekick in the studio.

Simple, effective pottery tracking app.

It makes documenting pottery projects straightforward and practical. I use it to record what I made, what worked, and what didn’t, so I don’t repeat the same mistakes. It’s clearly designed by someone who understands how potters actually work. Useful tool if you care about learning and improving, not just logging pieces.
Really well-built app

Stage notes make it easy to document each step, and Sparks keeps my references organized. Would love to see a way to search or filter stage notes to learn from past work.
