About

Round Count Maint

Features
Read full description

Round Count keeps an accurate round count for every firearm you own — and for the parts inside them that wear out. Competitive shooters and high-volume enthusiasts know the problem: recoil springs, firing pins, and extractors all have a service life, but nobody remembers how many rounds ago they were replaced. Round Count does the remembering for you. LOG EVERY SESSION Record live fire and dry fire in seconds. Your logs build a complete round-count history for each firearm, with notes for loads, matches, or anything else worth remembering. TRACK PART WEAR Add the parts you care about — recoil spring, firing pin, extractor, magazine springs — and set a replacement interval for each. Every logged round counts against the parts in that firearm. Parts can count dry-fire rounds too, perfect for firing pins and strikers. GET WARNED BEFORE FAILURE Set a warning threshold and Round Count flags parts as they approach their interval, then marks them past due. A status badge on each firearm shows you at a glance when something needs attention. FULL REPLACEMENT HISTORY When you replace a part, the count resets and the replacement is recorded — date, round count, and notes — so you always know a part's true service history. YOUR WHOLE COLLECTION Pistols, rifles, and shotguns, each with a photo, notes, and its own parts list. A built-in catalog of common part names makes setup fast. BACKED UP, NEVER LOST Back up your entire database to Dropbox and restore it on a new device in seconds. Round Count is free for one firearm with up to three tracked parts — plenty to see how it fits your routine. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited firearms and parts. No subscriptions, no accounts, no ads. Your data stays on your device. If you maintain what you shoot, Round Count makes sure you never guess again.
