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.

The spreadsheet breaks down around gun four. The notes app was never built for this. Lindcott Armory tracks your full collection: round counts, sessions, ammo inventory, and optic assignments. All without requiring you to maintain a filing system on the side. Everything is free. No subscription, no paywall, no ads. Unlimited guns. Log every range session, every ammo lot, every gun in your vault. Round counts update automatically as you shoot. Get alerts when you need to order more. It works fully offline, and your vault stays on your device. The heavier tools are free too — they just need a free account, which also syncs your vault across your devices. The AI assistant runs on Claude and knows your specific vault — ask it maintenance schedules, load questions, cartridge comparisons, without having to explain what you own every time. Reloading assistance builds a recipe for each gun based on your goals rather than handing you a generic starting node. Every shot group you submit gets a full breakdown: MOA, CEP, extreme spread, standard deviation — numbers you can actually use when you're working a zero or running a load test. Track which loads or ammo work best for which guns and get alerted when something is out of whack. Plus get great reference guides on every cartridge, powder, and factory load. Compare ballistics between calibers to find the right tools for you. No social features. No ads. No reason to open it except your guns.
