Key features: - Firearm inventory with manufacturer, model, caliber, serial number, round count, parts, and cover photo support - Parts-level wear tracking with service-life thresholds and replacement history - Range session logging with automatic round-count propagation to firearms and active parts - Ammunition inventory with caliber/load grouping, quantity tracking, purchase cost history, and low-stock alerts - UPC barcode scanning for faster ammo entry, backed by local seed data - Suppressor tracking with host usage summaries and weight-based cleaning reminders - Maintenance logs for cleaning, repairs, inspections, and part replacements - Malfunction logging with type summaries and optional ammo association - Platform-aware presets for common firearm families - Firearm history PDF export, including redacted export options - Optional Face ID app lock and privacy masking for sensitive details - Local notifications for part wear, cleaning reminders, suppressor weight, and ammo stock thresholds Privacy-first by design: FIRD stores your inventory on your device.
