Cast Iron Skillet Collector
For vintage cast iron collectors. Log pattern numbers, gate marks & restorations. Duplicate-check before you buy. No subscription — one-time purchase. Local data only.
An iOS app built for cast iron skillet collectors. Log every piece with the exact fields collectors actually care about — in one place.
No more spreadsheets with no column for a heat ring notch. No more "did I already buy this size?" moments at a flea market table. SkilletLog is a purpose-built iOS tracker for the cast iron hobby.
【What You Can Do】
▷ Cast Iron Ledger
Log brand (choose from major makers, or unmarked/other), size number, pattern letter and number, molder's mark, gate mark, logo style, heat ring with notch count and positions, rust condition, carbon buildup, seasoning state, status, source, purchase price and date, and estimated value. Free up to 20 pieces.
▷ Restoration Log
Record every electrolysis session (solution, duration, voltage), seasoning round (oil, count, temperature, duration), and cleaning pass (material used) — with before-and-after photos and a full timeline per piece. Always free, no limit.
▷ "What Is This?" Share Card
Turn what you've actually observed — gate mark, pattern number, logo style, heat ring — into a clean card built for asking a real collector community for a second opinion. SkilletLog never guesses the brand or era for you. It just organizes your observations so the answer comes from people who actually know.
▷ New Addition & Restoration Share Cards
Celebrate a new piece joining your collection, or a finished restoration with before/after photos and the process behind it — electrolysis time, seasoning rounds, and more. Free with a watermark; Pro removes it.
▷ Collection Overview Share Card
Hand-pick up to 9 pieces and share a grid image of your collection.
▷ Wishlist
Track brand, size, budget, priority, and notes for pieces you're hunting. No limit — even on the free tier.
▷ Duplicate Check
Search your collection and wishlist at the same time, by brand or size, before you buy. Built for the moment you're standing at a flea market table trying to remember what you already own.
▷ Stats
See a brand breakdown chart, total piece count, and total collection value — in the currency you choose.
▷ Data Export & Import
Export a ZIP with your collection, photos, provenance notes, restoration logs, and wishlist, or a PDF report. Import a ZIP to add data back. Always free, Pro or not (the free 20-piece limit also applies to imports).

· Anyone who's posted a blurry "what is this?" photo and wished they'd shown the right details
