Built for glass artists,
by a glass artist.

From choosing your firing profile to monitoring your kiln in real time — every step is designed to feel intuitive and beautiful.

What it does

Everything you need
to fire with confidence

The Kiln Schedule Designer takes care of the technical details so you can focus on the art. Enter your project — get your schedule.

Tailored Firing Profiles

Choose from professionally calibrated profiles including Full Fuse, Tack Fuse, Slump, Fire Polish, and more — for both Oceanside Compatible™ (System 96) and Bullseye Glass (COE 90). Each profile is tuned to the correct peak temperatures and hold times.

Two manufacturers · 9 profiles
Smart Bubble Squeeze

Select the glass components you're using — sheet, frit, noodles, stringers, dichroic, or Bullseye-specific reactive and cadmium-bearing glass — and the app automatically calculates the optimal bubble squeeze hold times.

Adjusts to your glass mix
Schedule icon
Export in One Click

Download your finished schedule as a CSV file for programming your kiln controller directly, or as a beautifully formatted PDF — complete with the firing curve chart, segment notes, and reference temperatures — to keep in your studio.

CSV + PDF export
Fully Editable Schedule

Every segment is editable. Adjust any rate, target temperature, or hold time directly in the table — the firing curve chart updates in real time so you can visualize your changes instantly before downloading.

How it works

Three steps to your
perfect schedule

No setup required. Open the app and you're ready to go in under a minute.

1
Enter your project details

Choose your glass manufacturer, enter the piece dimensions and thickness, then select the glass components you're working with. The app uses this to calculate bubble squeeze timing automatically.

2
Choose a firing profile

Select the profile that matches your intended result — Full Fuse, Contour, Tack Fuse, or Slump. Each profile shows the peak temperature and a plain-language description to help you choose.

3
Download your schedule

Review your complete firing schedule with the live chart, edit any segment you need to adjust, then download as CSV for your controller or PDF for your records.

New Feature

Monitor your firing
in real time.

Start the Firing Monitor after generating a schedule, and it follows your firing curve live — alerting you at every key segment so you never miss a critical hold.
