Where is my data stored?
ALL data and photos you add to the app are stored locally on your device.
myArmsCache doesn’t sync data between devices and will not automatically backup your data. It is up to you whether you backup your data (or not).
Do you sell my data?
No. When I created this app 10 years ago, my top priority was (and still is) your privacy.
If my goal was to make money selling your data, I would be giving the app away for free so I could get as many people as possible to download it and add their information.
Instead, the app requires a subscription and there’s no free tier.
Do I need to create an account?
No. myArmsCache does not require an account, registration, or login to use the app.
Does myArmsCache sync between devices?
No. myArmsCache currently does not sync data between devices. You can create backup files and transfer your data manually between supported devices.
How do I back up my data?
There are a number of options for backing up your data. Click here to view the options and instructions OR go to the Setting section of the app and select ‘Backup & Restore’
Can I export my data?
Yes. There are 3 options for exporting your data:
- PDF for Individual Items: you can create a PDF for an item by selecting that item. Once you’re on the ‘details’ view, tap the ‘action’ icon (bottom right), then select ‘Save Details as PDF’
- Export CSV: you can export a CSV for your collection by going to ‘Settings’ > ‘Export CSV’. You can choose which list you want to export.
- Insurance Report: You can create a PDF and/or CSV for one or more firearms. You can choose which firearms are added to the report.
What devices is the app available on?
myArmsCache is available on the iPhone, iPad and Mac.
The Mac version runs on Mac desktop and laptop computers.
Why is myArmsCache a subscription?
This app was created by me, a developer, not a company. The only way I can continue to update and support the app is with a subscription model.
Your subscription directly supports ongoing development, maintenance, bug fixes, and new features.

How much does the myArmsCache subscription cost?
myArmsCache offers a free trial to new users, so you can try the app free and decide if it’s right for you.
During the free trial, you can access the app and all of the features available. If you don’t like it, you can cancel and pay nothing. If you don’t cancel before the end of the trial, you will be charged and your subscription will automatically renew until cancelled.

Who created myArmsCache?

Where is myArmsCache available?

Can I share gun details with my insurance company?
Yes. myArmsCache includes an Insurance Report builder that lets you generate a PDF with your firearm details and photos, ready to share with your insurance company. You can:
- Select one firearm, several, or your entire collection.
- Choose exactly which details to include (serial number, purchase price, value, specifications, etc.).
- Include photos for visual documentation.
- Add a summary page listing every firearm in the report.
You can also export a CSV file of your firearm details for your own records or an appraiser.
Does myArmsCache track rounds fired per gun?
Yes, automatically. When you log a range visit and select the firearm you used, the rounds fired are added to that gun’s total. Every firearm shows its lifetime round count, and you can set a cleaning interval by round count — when a gun reaches its interval, it’s added to your maintenance queue automatically.
Is there an Android version?
No. myArmsCache is currently only available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. If you’re interested in an Android version, click here and let me know. If enough people are interested, I’ll consider building one.
