Waffenschrank

Your guns, ammo and permit deadlines in order

The app for sport shooters, hunters and collectors: inventory, deadlines and training log in one place — on iPhone, iPad, Android and in the browser. No account needed, no ads, no usage analytics. Waffenschrank is German for “gun safe”.

The web app keeps your data in this browser – and the browser can delete it when space runs low or after long disuse. So back it up regularly; device sync and automatic backup are only in the app.

Features

Everything that belongs in your safe

From your permits to your ammo stock: Waffenschrank keeps your collection, your paperwork and your range days together — neatly ordered, searchable and always at hand. The essentials are free; whatever needs Pro carries the “Pro” label.

Guns & permit deadlines

Every gun with caliber, serial number, license details and photo. Where your jurisdiction sets a reporting deadline, it runs along visibly and the app reminds you before it lapses — permits, acquisitions, memberships and maintenance in a single deadline list.

Training log & annual overview

Your own record of every range day: date, range, discipline, gun and rounds used. The annual overview shows how often you shot and how many rounds it took, and round counts per gun feed your cleaning intervals.

Ammo inventory with barcode scan

Scan the box, book the stock, done. Log a range day and the app deducts the rounds used by itself — you always see what is left in the safe.

The law where you live

Deadlines, license types and storage rules come from legal catalogs for twelve countries: the United States, Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy, France, Finland, Estonia and Lithuania. Every rule with its source and date — where a jurisdiction sets no rule, the app does not invent one.

On all your devices

iPhone, iPad, Android and browser show the same inventory: device sync runs through a free account and is end-to-end encrypted. Without an account, you move to a new device with an encrypted backup file.

Gun catalog with more than 3,500 models

Makers, models and specifications, every figure with its source. In the app you add a gun straight from the catalog or put it on your wishlist; here on the website you can look it up freely.

    Encrypted into your own iCloud or, on Android, your Google Drive, photos and documents included — by hand or automatically every day, free and with no account with us.

  • Scan instead of typePro

    Photograph a receipt and date, price and dealer land in the form; a permit turns into your gun list.

  • PDF reportsPro

    Gun list and range record as PDF are free. Pro adds the dossier, an emergency dossier for your family and a valuation schedule for insurance or an estate — your own figures, not an official appraisal.

  • A&D bound bookPro

    Keeping the acquisition and disposition record is free; the printout for an inspection is part of Pro.

  • Score a targetPro

    Photograph the target, pick its type (ISSF, IPSC/USPSA, NRA, MLAIC, PPC and more) and tap the hits: ring score or A/C/D zones, group size and a trend. Automatic hit detection on iPhone and iPad is part of Pro.

  • Photos without a backgroundPro

    The background disappears, and the work happens on your device. Free for your first two guns, with Pro for all; not available in the web app.

  • Share a showcasePro

    Selected pieces as a profile by link or QR code. Serial numbers, storage locations, stock levels and prices are technically excluded, and photos are re-encoded without their location. One showcase is free, more with Pro.

  • Statistics trendsPro

    Round counts and ammo spending as a twelve-month history.

  • Shot timer on Apple Watch

    A haptic start, shots counted by the watch’s microphone — with splits and a par time. The sound is analyzed on the watch and discarded at once.

  • Move in without retyping

    Import your list from CSV or Excel with column mapping and duplicate warnings, plus chrono strings from Garmin Xero and LabRadar and PractiScore results.

  • Safes and storage locations

    Gun safes, cabinets and a safe room with security class, contents and value — and you see what is where.

  • Light and dark mode

    Light for a sunny range, dark by default — or whatever your system is set to.


Privacy

Your data stays with you

A gun collection has no business on someone else’s servers. So in Waffenschrank everything lives on your device first — and what leaves it is spelled out here.

  • On your device firstGuns, ammo, log, documents and photos live in the app on your device, and in the web app in your browser’s storage. Something reaches a server only if you set up sync, a cloud backup, a showcase or a club page yourself.
  • Encrypted before it leaves the deviceThe app encrypts sync and cloud backup on the device (AES-256-GCM); the key is derived from your protection password, and we cannot read the contents. The server only sees the envelope: your email address, the number, size and timing of entries, which area they belong to and which device they come from. Storage is with Supabase (contracting party: Supabase Pte. Ltd., Singapore) in its Frankfurt, Germany data center; access from outside the EU is possible.
  • What goes online at launchThe app works without internet. When it is online, it asks our update server at launch and our catalog server shortly after (both delivered via Cloudflare) for updates, and the purchase service RevenueCat (USA) is only contacted if a purchase is already known on the device or you open the Pro page (versions before 2.2: at every launch) — all of them see your IP address. Crash reports only go out if you switch them on. Versions before 2.2.1 also send a permanent installation identifier with the update check and, after a crash, the error message once.
  • No ads, no usage analytics — and you stay in controlNo ad components, no analysis of how you use the app, no sale of data. Export everything at any time, take any showcase offline with one tap, delete the account inside the app.

Every connection, with recipient, purpose and legal basis, is listed in the privacy policy.

Frequently asked

Answered briefly and honestly

Do I have to keep a training log?

In the United States, no: no federal rule asks a private shooter for one, and any requirements in this area are state, local or club rules. In Canada the duty sits on the club: an approved shooting club must, at the chief firearms officer’s request, supply a written description of the participation of a current or past member or officer of the club, or of a guest of theirs, in target practice or target shooting competitions within the previous five years, when that person’s licence for restricted firearms is up for renewal. No federal rule requires the shooter to keep a log of their own (SOR/98-212 s. 15(1)). Your own log is the backup for a record somebody else has to produce about you. The training log in Waffenschrank is your personal documentation: range days, disciplines, ammo used, analyses and round counts per gun. It is maintenance and memory, not compliance.

Can I keep my records for the authorities in the app?

Waffenschrank helps you keep your details complete and traceable, and turns them into orderly PDF summaries — to prepare an appointment or complete your paperwork, for example. What counts, now as before, are the official records: your licenses and permits, the registration paperwork you hold, and whatever your own jurisdiction asks for. The app replaces neither those documents nor legal advice; what binds you is always what your authority requires.

Where is my data?

First of all on your device — the app works without internet and without an account. Backup to your own iCloud or, on Android, your Google Drive (free, manual or automatic) encrypts your data on the device (AES-256-GCM) — no account with us needed. It is stored on our servers (hosted at Supabase, EU region in Frankfurt, Germany) only if you sync several devices through a free account or use the account backup with Pro — encrypted then too, and only you hold the key. In plain text we only see your email address and the envelope (size, timing, device) — and what you put into a showcase, onto a club page or into a message to us yourself.

What does Waffenschrank cost?

The most important features are free. Waffenschrank Pro costs $59.99 once (no subscription, Family Sharing (App Store) included; available only until 12/31/2026), $19.99 a year or $2.99 a month — the price your store (App Store or Google Play) shows for your country is the one that counts, and tax is handled there. Purchase and management run through the App Store or Google Play. The one-time purchase applies without a time limit, for as long as we offer Waffenschrank; the details are in the terms of use. No ads, no trade in your data.

Is there an Android version?

Yes. Waffenschrank is available for Android on Google Play. With a free account, your inventory syncs end-to-end encrypted between Android, iPhone and the browser.

How do I share my showcase?

You pick exactly the pieces you want to show and publish them as a profile at an address nobody can guess — to pass on as a link or QR code. Serial numbers, storage locations, stock levels, prices and permit data are technically excluded, and photos are re-encoded so their location and other image data are dropped. What your photos show is not checked — a serial number visible in a picture stays readable. Take the showcase offline and the old link is dead for good.


Order in the safe. Peace of mind.

Add your first gun — after that, Waffenschrank does the remembering.
