Kilnfriend
Your kiln, watched. Pair over Bluetooth, hand it your WiFi,
and check every firing from wherever you are.
Android now. iOS is firing in the kiln next.
What it does
A second set of eyes on the kiln room
Live temperature, live status
Kilnfriend talks to your kiln controller's thermocouple in real time — current temp, setpoint, heater state, and where you are in the firing schedule, updated every few seconds.
Firing profiles that stay put
Build a ramp-and-hold schedule once — bisque, glaze, whatever your clay demands — and fire it again next month without re-entering a single number.
A record of every firing
Every run is logged — temperature curve, duration, faults if any — so you can compare glaze results against exactly what the kiln actually did.
Bluetooth + cloud
Close by or across town, it's the same app
Bluetooth
Standing next to the kiln, your phone talks straight to the controller over BLE — no internet required, instant control, zero lag.
Cloud
Once your kiln joins WiFi, it keeps reporting to the cloud, so you can check a firing from the next room or the next city.
