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.
