Guns Locker helps you keep track of your Firearms, Ammo, Accessories, Range Sessions, CCW Permits — and more. GUNS LOCKER FEATURES ** Gun Inventory keeps detailed inventory data about each gun. Includes multiple filtering, sorting and reporting options. Also provides the ability to keep track of sold guns. ** Accessories are tracked for each gun and include purchase info such as where purchased, date purchased, cost, value, and photo options. ** Unattached Accessories for tracking shared gun equipment (tools, safes, range gear). ** Notes provide a place where you can keep various records about events related to your gun, such as cleaning and maintenance records, receipts and general information. ** Photo Gallery lets you keep an unlimited number of photos for each inventory gun. The photo viewer lets you swipe through your photos with ease. You may also share your photos with others (text, email, print, etc). ** Ammo database keeps track of your ammo by caliber and gun type. It automatically tracks ammo usage and costs while providing accurate and up to date quantity-on-hand totals. When used with the Range Sessions feature, the ammo database is automatically updated with the ammo used and rounds spent, thus providing accurate Qty-On-Hand totals. The ammo database can also be used as a stand-alone database without using the Range Sessions feature. ** Range Sessions & the Range Analysis Tool helps you keep track of your range visits, range costs, which guns were used, and what ammunition was used for each gun. You can save and share multiple photos of your targets for each range gun. The Range Analysis Tool digs even deeper to show all ammo used by a specific range gun as well as show all range guns that used specific ammo. ** Gun Cleaning List & Automatic Gun Cleaning Notifications. Each gun has a "Needs Cleaning" flag that gets updated when a gun is added to a range session (you can also manually add a gun to the Gun Cleaning List). The number of guns on the Cleaning List appears on the Dashboard under “Alerts” & Reminders”. You can access the Cleaning List from the Dashboard to mark guns as Cleaned. Automatic cleaning notifications are also sent to your phone and/or watch. ** Conceal Carry Permits allow you to keep all your CCW permit and related information safe and secure in one place. The CCW database includes front and back photos of your permit, date issued and expiration date, and comments. Gun Locker will automatically remind you when the CCW expiration date is approaching using Notifications and appearing on the Dashboard screen. ** War Chest provides a place to store information about non-firearm related items. Keep records for your knives, swords, axes, non-lethal defensive items, tools, etc.. Keeps track of the total count and value for all items. ** Spending Report allows you to see where and how much spending has occurred for any date range by Guns, Ammo, Accessories, Range costs, War Chest.

Armorer is the firearm maintenance tracker built for serious shooters. Know exactly what every gun in your collection needs — and when it needs it. Round counts, maintenance logs and service intervals, so you know when a cleaning, a spring replacement or a detail strip is due. A service record for your firearms, the way you'd track oil changes for your vehicle. ROUND COUNT TRACKING Log every range session with ammo details including manufacturer, type, and grain weight. Running totals update automatically for every firearm you own. Log malfunctions by type — failure to feed, failure to eject, stovepipe, double feed — and add a photo or a short video, because a jam is easier to explain with a picture of it. SERVICE INTERVALS AND HISTORY Set maintenance intervals by round count or by time, and get told 7 days ahead and again on the day. Behind that, a complete service log for every gun: what was done, when, and how many rounds ago. FIREARM REPORT Every round, malfunction and service on one firearm, gathered into a single report. Read it in the app — tap any figure to see the logs behind it — or export a PDF: reliability by ammunition load, every malfunction with the round count it happened at, and the photos from those logs. Keep it, send it to a gunsmith, or hand it to a buyer with the gun. RANGE SESSIONS Log an entire trip in one save. The date, the place, how long you were there, and every firearm you ran — instead of logging six guns one at a time. Each gun still keeps its own round count, history, and service intervals. MAGAZINES Record what you own, what each holds, and which guns they fit. One entry covers the whole stack. Extended baseplates are tracked too, with the maker and the rounds they add. SHOT TIMER IMPORT Connect a Shooters Global timer over Bluetooth and pull your shots straight in. Nothing to run at the firing line — shoot the way you always have, then import when you're done and say which firearm fired what. VOICE LOGGING Say what you shot and Armorer fills in the rest. Round counts, malfunctions, and maintenance, without typing at the range. PARTS AND MODIFICATIONS Log every aftermarket part — triggers, barrels, sights, grips, slides. The ones that move between guns are tracked properly: move a slide to another firearm and the swap is recorded on both, with each part keeping the list of what it's been mounted on. GEAR & ACCESSORIES Track optics, lights, suppressors, and accessories with their own service intervals and battery replacement reminders. AMMO INVENTORY Track your stock on hand by brand, caliber, type, and grain. Deduct automatically when you log a range session, and see your totals by caliber at a glance. IPHONE AND IPAD Your data syncs across every device you sign in on, and the iPad puts the list beside what you're looking at. Anything can be stored in two places at once — the safe and the range bag — and the filters match either. FOR REVIEWERS AND T&E Mark a firearm as a loaner, add a deadline when there is one, and generate a testing report written for the manufacturer that lent it. Group a build from several brands into one collaboration project, tracked from pitched through to published. FREE AND PRO Free for up to 2 firearms, 5 pieces of gear, 5 ammo entries and 5 magazines — and round logging, service intervals, maintenance history and range sessions stay free at every tier, forever. Pro removes the limits and adds shot timer import, voice logging, video, PDF reports, documents, value tracking and data export.
