About

Lead Log

Read full description

Lead Log is a simple, private way to keep track of your own range activity, firearms, and ammunition. Everything stays on your device. There are no accounts, no ads, and nothing is ever uploaded or shared. Log Session: Record a range trip in seconds. Pick the firearm you used, log the rounds fired and the ammo you went through, attach a photo of your target if you want one, and add notes. Lead Log flags unusual entries, like a sudden jump in round count, so a typo does not throw off your history. Inventory: Keep a complete record of every firearm you own, including manufacturer, model, category, serial number, rounds fired since last service, and a photo. Track your ammunition the same way, by caliber, brand, grain weight, and quantity on hand, with low stock alerts so you know when it is time to restock. History: Browse your full shooting history, grouped by firearm, ammo, or date. Search across everything to find a specific session in seconds. Built for legal firearm owners who want an organized personal log. Lead Log has no marketplace, no buying or selling, and no trading features of any kind. It is strictly a record-keeping tool for your own use. Your privacy comes first. All data is stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device storage. Nothing is transmitted anywhere, there is no sign-in required, and there is no internet connection needed to use the app.
