The Armorer App: A Homestead Logbook for Every Working Gun
Last updated: June 4, 2026 · Originally published: June 5, 2026
What Armorer is giving the Day 50 winner
The Armorer App is the privacy-first iPhone-and-iPad gun-maintenance tracker that logs every round, every cleaning, every parts change, every range session, and every modification across every firearm in the owner’s collection. The Armorer App runs entirely on-device with no server-side database of the user’s collection. Armorer Pro ($49.99/yr) unlocks unlimited firearms, advanced reporting, custom maintenance schedules per gun, and PDF export. The Day 50 prize package includes a one-year Armorer Pro subscription.
The Armorer app — top 5 facts
- What it is: a firearm maintenance tracker for iPhone, iPad, and Android — round counts, service history, modifications, gear, and ammo stock in one place.
- The builder: Luke McCoy, who has run USA Carry since 2007, built Armorer to replace the spreadsheet he was tracking his own round counts in.
- The system: maintenance intervals set by round count or by time — the app flags what’s due before a problem shows up at the worst moment.
- The privacy: serial numbers are encrypted so only the owner can read them, photos are stripped of location data, and the app carries no ads.
- The prize: a one-year Armorer membership is included with the Day 50 prize package — and the app itself starts anyone with a 30-day free trial.

Armorer.app: Serious Records for Serious Shooters
Armorer — Built to Replace a Shooter’s Spreadsheet
Luke McCoy, founder of USA Carry and a competitive USPSA shooter, spent years doing what most serious gun owners do: tracking round counts, maintenance schedules, and service history in a spreadsheet. It worked… until it didn’t. Spreadsheets are flexible, but they’re also clunky at the range, terrible at sending reminders, and completely incapable of automatically deducting ammo, attaching photos, or securely storing serial numbers. So McCoy built Armorer, the firearm maintenance tracker that does what the spreadsheet was trying to do, but better. Every feature came from real-world frustration:
- Round Count Tracking — Log every range session with ammo details; running totals update automatically.
- Service Intervals — Set maintenance by round count or calendar date and get push notifications 7 days before anything is due.
- Maintenance History — A complete digital service log with notes, dates, and “rounds since last service.”
- Modifications & Gear Tracking — Document triggers, barrels, optics, suppressors, lights — everything attached to each firearm.
- Ammo Inventory — Track stock by brand, caliber, and grain weight with automatic deductions and low-stock alerts.
- Photo Galleries & Documents — Attach pictures and receipts (EXIF data stripped automatically) for insurance and resale records.
Armorer started as a personal spreadsheet and evolved into a clean, native mobile app (now available on iPhone, iPad, and Android) that feels like having a professional armorer in your pocket.

Armorer app FAQ
What devices does the Armorer app run on?
iPhone, iPad, and Android — it’s on both the App Store and Google Play. The interface is the same logbook on every device: firearms, service intervals, gear, ammo inventory, and photo records.
What does the Armorer app cost?
Armorer starts everyone with a 30-day free trial, with no ads at any tier, and tracks unlimited firearms. Current membership pricing is published at armorer.app. The Day 50 winner’s first year is covered by the prize membership.
How many firearms can it track?
There is no cap — Armorer tracks unlimited firearms, plus the optics, lights, and suppressors attached to them. Each item carries its own service history, so a two-gun homestead and a forty-gun collection use the same system.
Is the Armorer app private?
Serial numbers are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using your password as the key, so the company cannot read them. Photos are stripped of location metadata before upload, the app carries no advertising, and the account — with all its data — can be deleted permanently from inside the app.
Who can enter Day 50?
U.S. residents 21 or older, excluding residents of California, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington, D.C. Entries open at 6:00 a.m. and close at 10:00 p.m. Central Time on Friday, June 5, 2026.
One more record worth keeping
You already keep the records that matter — when the last frost hit, how many hours are on the tractor, which canning lids sealed and which didn’t — because writing things down is how a homestead stays ahead of its problems. The safe has earned the same treatment, and on Day 50, the logbook comes with the prize.
