I have two iPhone Apps.

Pottery Studio Helper

I designed this to organize my glaze mixing. I have a small studio and do not have space to keep glaze chemicals in large amounts. To mix a glaze, I would first need to determine how much of each chemical I needed, and then figure out if I had enough of each.

I then printed out the “glaze table” and when I add a chemical to the glaze bucket, I check it off on the print out.

This app simplifies my glazing process. I just need to enter the total amount, I then get the amount of each chemical. I can easily see if I need to buy something. A simple button switches between grams and pounds. Grams for mixing, Pounds for buying. I can easily check off the chemicals when I add them to the bucket, and when I am done, my inventory is updated. So, I have a checklist, and know what chemicals I have.

It also includes firing schedules. I use an electric kiln, so it includes program numbers for quick access to the schedule on the kiln.

I plan to add firing logs soon.

Ok, I did it!

A simple App when you need to do something daily, but it doesn’t matter too much when. If you do it before the reminder time, just hit a button and you will be reminded tomorrow. For example, if you need to feed your kids, cat, dog, …, before 9:00 in the morning, set the timer for 9:00 am. If you feed your kids, cat, dog, … before then, you are done for the day. Just hit the Remind button, and you will be reminded tomorrow. You can also snooze, if you are doing something else when the alarm sounds and need a few extra minutes.
