Getting started

What is Cone Glaze?

A studio notebook for hobby potters: a glaze book with a batch calculator, a cone chart with temperature equivalents, firing schedules with a running timer, a kiln log and a wall of test-tile photos pinned to the recipe and cone they came from.

Do I need an account or internet?

No. The app works offline and keeps everything on your device.

Glazes & batches

How do I scale a recipe?

Open a recipe and type a batch size in the calculator (grams or ounces). Every ingredient, including additions, is recalculated.

Why do additions add up to more than 100%?

Colorants and opacifiers are measured on top of the 100% base, the way most potters write recipes. The base must total 100% before a custom recipe can be saved.

Can I change a bundled recipe?

Duplicate it, then edit the copy. The original stays as a reference.

Firing & notifications

How does the firing timer work?

Pick a schedule, choose a kiln, add shelf notes and start. The app follows each ramp and hold on its clock and shows where the kiln should be. It does not control your kiln.

I'm not getting segment notifications.

Allow notifications for Cone Glaze in iOS Settings → Notifications. Check that Focus modes aren't silencing them. The app asks for permission the first time you start a firing.

Are cone temperatures exact?

No. They are typical equivalents at three heating rates. Real results depend on your kiln, load and rate. Use witness cones.

Test tiles & photos

The camera button doesn't work.

Allow camera access in iOS Settings → Cone Glaze → Camera. You can also pick an existing photo from your library.

Where are my photos stored?

Only inside the app on your device. They are not uploaded anywhere.

Data

How do I start over?

Studio → Settings → Erase everything. This can't be undone.

Will my data move to a new phone?

Yes, if you restore the new phone from an iCloud or computer backup of the old one.
