TSS Barrel Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Built for precision shooters, hand loaders, and serious rifle owners who care about barrel life. TSS Barrel Tracker is the round-counting and barrel-wear app you've been wanting. Log every shot — quickly — and watch each barrel's effective life update in real time, weighted by the heat of the load you fired. — WHY BARREL WEAR MATTERS — Every barrel has a useful life measured in rounds, but not all rounds count the same. A hot magnum load wears throat erosion faster than a mild varminter. TSS Barrel Tracker uses customizable heat factors to convert raw round counts into "wear-adjusted rounds" — the only number that actually predicts when a barrel is going to walk on you at distance. — FEATURES — • Quick-log shooting sessions with preset round counts (1, 5, 10, 20) or any custom quantity • Pair each rifle from your action and barrel library — the same barrel can move between actions and keep its history intact • Heat factor system (Light, Standard, Hot, Magnum) — fully customizable per shooter • Per-rifle and per-barrel wear bars with low / moderate / high wear status • Track chronograph data per session: velocity, ES, SD, and group size • Attach photos of your groups directly to log entries • Per-ammo performance reports: average velocity, ES, SD, group size, and trend analysis over time, broken down by ammo load • Caliber-aware ammo filtering — when you select a rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor, only your 6.5 Creedmoor loads appear • Complete shot history with filters by rifle, ammo, and "chrono only" • Built-in powder library covering the major manufacturers: Hodgdon, IMR, Alliant, Winchester, Vihtavuori, Accurate, Ramshot — toggle which ones appear in your dropdowns • Caliber library with the most common precision and hunting cartridges • Export and import all data as JSON — never lose your range log • Archive barrels (shot out, sold) without losing their history — PRIVACY THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING — Every byte of data stays on your phone. No accounts. No cloud sync. No analytics. No telemetry. Not even an email collection. This is your range log, not Apple's, not ours, not anyone's. — WHO IT'S FOR — • F-Class, PRS, NRL, and tactical competitors counting rounds before re-barreling • Hunters tracking the life of their hunting rifle • Hand loaders comparing performance across powder/charge/bullet combinations • Anyone who's ever asked "how many rounds are on this barrel?" — DESIGNED FOR THE BENCH AND THE FIELD — One-handed quick-log buttons (1, 5, 10, 20) are sized for cold gloved fingers. The high-contrast interface stays readable in direct sun. Every interaction is bounded to one screen — no menus to dig through between strings. — GET STARTED IN UNDER A MINUTE — 1. Add your barrel and its expected round life 2. Add your action 3. Pair them into a rifle 4. Log your first session The home screen walks you through it on day one. Welcome to better barrel data.

Shots Fired counts the rounds through every gun you own, tells you when each one needs cleaning or a new part, and shows how your shooting adds up over the months. There's no account to make and nothing goes to a server. Your log lives on your iPhone. COUNT EVERY ROUND Pick a gun and a distance, slide to go hot, and count. Tap for each round or a full magazine, or let the mic count for you. The mic learns how loud your gun is from your first shots, and works best when you're the only shooter or the line is quiet. On a busy line, tap counts best. Switch between tap and mic at any time without starting over. Change distance or gun and the next session starts with your magazine carried over. KNOW WHEN TO CLEAN Every gun keeps its own round count and cleaning interval. The Locker puts the gun that needs attention first: "45 rounds to clean". Log a cleaning or other work with notes and photos, and schedule what's coming, like a recoil spring at 10,000 rounds or a red dot battery in a month. Reminders arrive on your phone when they're due. SEE IT ADD UP History shows each week, month and year: rounds, range days, time on the range and what you spent on ammo. Compare month over month and against last year, find your best session and see rounds by firearm. Tap into any session for its photos and notes. GOALS THAT GET YOU TO THE RANGE Set goals by rounds, sessions, time on the range or shooting every gun in your safe, monthly, quarterly or one-off. Shots Fired tracks your progress and tells you when a goal is falling behind. SHARE YOUR MONTH Make a clean card of your month, a session or your goals, then save it or send it to a friend. You choose what's on it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No sign-up, no email, no location. Everything stays on this iPhone. Back it up to a file whenever you like, and import it on a new phone. Usage stats are off unless you choose to share them, and even then they're anonymous and never include your guns or notes. FREE AND PRO Every new user gets 7 days of Pro for free. There's nothing to cancel and you won't be charged. After that, Shots Fired stays free with one gun, one goal, round counting, every session, the Week and Month views and share cards. Shots Fired Pro adds unlimited guns and goals, maintenance reminders, the Year and All-time views with trends against last year, and unlimited session photos. - Yearly: $19.99 a year - Monthly: $2.99 a month - Lifetime: $39.99 once Subscriptions renew through your Apple account until you cancel in Settings at least 24 hours before the period ends.
