ArmedIQ is the private, offline-first collection vault for firearm owners, competitive shooters, hunters, and reloaders. Document every item you own — from rifles and pistols to suppressors, bows, optics, and ammunition — in a secure, searchable archive that works at the range, the tree stand, the gun show, or the safe. No ads. No third-party trackers. Your data stays yours. COLLECTION MANAGEMENT Build a complete digital record of your firearms, suppressors, bows, and optics. Attach multiple photos, log serial numbers, calibers, purchase dates, and current values. Track modifications and accessories over time, link related items (optic to rifle, suppressor to host), organize with custom categories, subcategories, tags, and saved views. Archive retired items without losing history. Manage a wishlist for future purchases. AMMUNITION & RELOADING Monitor round counts by caliber and lot. Get low-stock alerts before you run out, and see ammunition depletion forecasts based on your actual range usage so you know exactly when to reorder. Track reloading components and loads. Assign ammo to specific firearms and see per-caliber consumption trends. NFA FORMS, TRUSTS & STAMPS Store Form 1s, Form 4s, trust documents, and tax stamps alongside the items themselves. Track approval dates, tax stamp status, and trustees. Keep every piece of NFA paperwork organized, searchable, and accessible in one place. RANGE DAY, RANGE BAG & DOPE Log every range session with shot counts, drills, zero confirmations, and per-optic DOPE cards. Build your Range Bag from your collection so you always know what gear to grab before heading out. Automatically decrement ammunition and roll up maintenance intervals as you shoot. HUNT & FISH LOGBOOKS Record hunts with GPS pins, weather snapshots, stand or blind notes, and harvest details. Track fishing trips with catch data, species, gear, and location. Manage hunting and fishing licenses, tags, and season dates with expiration alerts so you never miss a season or draw deadline. COMPETITION TRACKING Log match results, stage breakdowns, and scores. Spot trends across events with competition analytics and chart your progress over time. ANALYTICS & INSIGHTS Portfolio value tracking, ammunition trend charts, maintenance intervals, and outdoor analytics for hunts, fish, and competitions. A Personal Bests dashboard highlights your top performances across the range, the field, and the match calendar. Insurance-ready reports export to PDF. SECURITY & PRIVACY - Protected View — mask serial numbers and sensitive details with one tap when the app is open in public. - Face ID & Touch ID — biometric unlock backed by your device's Secure Enclave. - Passkeys — phishing-resistant sign-in with zero passwords. - Encrypted at rest — database and storage encrypted, with row-level access scoped to your account only. - No ads, no third-party trackers. We don't sell or share your data. OFFLINE-FIRST Works with zero signal. Add items, log range sessions, record a hunt, or check ammo counts in the field. Every write is captured locally and synced securely when you're back online, with a predictable conflict policy that never silently overwrites your data. BACKUP, RESTORE & PORTABILITY Export your entire collection as a portable, encrypted archive anytime. Import existing collection data from spreadsheets to get started fast. Full backup and restore keeps your data safe when moving to a new device. Version history for critical records. SHARING Share individual items, hunts, or fishing trips with trusted contacts.
