Never lose a load again. ReloadVault is a 100% offline reloading logbook for iPhone. No account. No cloud. No subscription. Every load, batch, chronograph string, group, and target photo stays on your device — and exports anytime to a single backup file, CSV, or printable pages you own forever. YOUR LOGBOOK • Everything about a load in one place: recipe, batches, range results, best group, and best SD • Chronograph stats (average, extreme spread, standard deviation) computed as you type — or paste a whole string of velocities from your Garmin Xero, LabRadar, or MagnetoSpeed export and every shot is added at once • Group size in inches and MOA, with distance, temperature, humidity, wind, and a target photo • Inventory that deducts itself when you log a batch; one tap returns brass and counts the firing • Per-round cost from your real component prices, and savings versus factory ammo • 100+ built-in cartridges, from .17 Hornet to .50 BMG, plus your own LOAD DEVELOPMENT, CHARTED Loads that share a cartridge, bullet, and powder are grouped into a ladder. ReloadVault plots your measured velocity (with SD bars) and your best group against charge weight, and every load with two or more chronographed sessions shows a velocity trend. It charts what you recorded — it never proposes a charge. AMMO BOX LABELS Print any batch as a 4×2 in label: load, bullet, powder and charge, primer, brass, COAL, firearm, date loaded, and count. Fits Avery 5163-compatible sheets, or one per page for label printers. BENCH TOOLS • Bullet stability and twist rate — will this bullet stabilize in your barrel? • Free recoil energy, to compare what two loads will actually feel like • Muzzle energy, momentum, sectional density, ballistic coefficient • Case capacity and load density from your own water-weight measurement • Charge ladder planner that spaces out a work-up between the starting and maximum charge in your own manual Every tool names the published formula it uses, on screen. None of them produce, adjust, or recommend a powder charge. YOUR REFERENCE LIBRARY Load-data publishers require written permission before their data can ship inside an app, so ReloadVault starts with an empty library rather than unlicensed or invented numbers. Build your own from the manuals you already own — every row keeps its source citation and is searchable by cartridge, bullet weight, and powder. Rows you enter are always fully visible, on every tier. YOUR DATA IS YOURS One-tap backup of everything, photos included. Email it to yourself, drop it in Files, keep it forever. Backup, restore, and CSV export are free on every tier — we never hold your data hostage. FREE: full logging for 2 firearms and 5 loads, every bench tool, inventory, range log, and all exports. RELOADVAULT PRO ($14.99 one time — not a subscription): unlimited firearms, loads, and inventory; load development charts; printable box labels; the complete charge ladder planner; and PDF export. Handloading ammunition is inherently dangerous. ReloadVault is a personal record-keeping tool, not a reloading manual, and nothing in it is advice. Always verify every value against current manufacturer published data, start at the published starting charge, and work up carefully. ReloadVault is an independent app, not affiliated with or endorsed by any powder, bullet, or firearm manufacturer.

About

Road Notice

Read full description

Camera awareness. Follow posted limits. Road Notice gives a brief audible reminder as you approach a listed speed or red-light camera. Set it up while parked, put your phone away, and keep your attention on driving. Follow traffic laws and road conditions everywhere, whether or not a warning sounds. ONE-TIME SETUP Enable Camera warnings and allow Always and Precise Location. Monitoring can continue with the screen locked or another app open when iOS permits. Use Test warning while parked to check your selected audio connection and media volume. Reopen the app after force-quitting or restarting your iPhone. ONE BRIEF SOUND Warnings use your iPhone's selected speaker or car audio connection. The siren plays as media; your media volume and car input matter. Audio interruptions can prevent a warning. There is no CarPlay dashboard interface. QUIET WHEN THE DATA SUPPORTS IT Quiet below speed limit is on by default for speed cameras. It can suppress a siren when measured speed is reliably below an applicable limit or conservative estimate. Unknown speed or limit information still produces a warning. Red-light and combined-camera warnings remain on. Silence does not mean your speed is lawful; posted signs and current conditions always take priority. PUBLIC CAMERA INFORMATION The saved U.S. camera list combines OpenStreetMap and agency information with reviewed locations. Coverage is incomplete. Approximate locations and published mobile deployment areas are labeled Possible speed camera. The app cannot sense radar or confirm whether equipment is operating. Weekly source updates are downloaded when your phone can connect; the saved list works offline with GPS. ON-DEVICE ALERT LOG Review the latest 500 camera notifications in Alert log. Tap a notification to open its saved camera details and any eligible speed-limit information. Entries stay on your iPhone, are excluded from backups and problem reports, and can be cleared at any time. Quiet approaches and Test warning are not logged. LOCATION STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Camera matching happens on your iPhone, without uploading your location or keeping a trip history. There are no ads, analytics SDKs, subscriptions or accounts. Optional problem reports let you review an explanation and location-free technical details before explicitly sending them to a public GitHub issue. Submitted report text is public. The privacy policy explains reports and hosting connection logs. Free and open source. Requires iOS 17 or later. Maintained by Alonso Indacochea. Warnings and speed-limit information may be missing, delayed or incorrect. GPS, permissions, iOS background limits, battery state and audio conditions affect delivery. Background location uses battery. Avoid abrupt reactions to a siren; keep your attention on driving and follow traffic laws on every road.
