Armur is a secure digital vault designed for firearm collectors. It helps you document your collection, preserve provenance, track maintenance and range sessions, and optionally share selected pieces publicly — while keeping you in control of your data.

It is not social media. It is not a marketplace operator. It is a structured companion to the modern gunroom.

Yes. Armur is available on the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android.

Armur is also available on Google Play for Android phones and tablets.

You create an account, choose your storage mode (cloud sync or local-only), and begin adding firearms to your vault. For each firearm, you can record:

  • Manufacturer, model, and configuration
  • Photos and attachments
  • Provenance documents and invoices
  • Maintenance and service history
  • Round counts
  • Range sessions and performance notes

Over time, your vault becomes a structured, living record of your collection.

Yes. An account is required to access Armur.

Your account secures your vault and enables authentication, optional encrypted cloud sync, and device access management. Even in local-only mode, an account is required to protect and structure your records.

No. You can get started with Armur without a subscription.

Optional subscription features unlock additional tools and expanded cloud-based capabilities.

Cloud Sync Mode
Your encrypted data is securely stored and synced across devices. This provides backup and access from multiple devices.

Local Mode
Your data remains stored only on your device. Nothing is synced to the cloud.

You may switch modes later through guided migration in Settings.

Armur supports switching between Cloud Sync and Local Mode, but you should review the migration prompts carefully before confirming a change.

Storage mode changes may affect how your data is synced, stored, and backed up across devices.

Armur is designed with privacy in mind:

  • No public profiles by default
  • No third-party ad networks
  • No selling of user data
  • Clear separation between private vault and optional public gallery
  • Encrypted cloud infrastructure when Cloud Sync is enabled

Armur is built to be discreet and uninteresting to anyone but you.

Yes. Your vault is private by default.

Public sharing is optional and only applies to firearms you explicitly choose to showcase.

No. Armur is a personal documentation and organizational tool. It does not replace your legal obligations for firearm ownership, transfer, storage, or compliance.

You are responsible for following all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

No.

Armur does not:

  • Act as a dealer
  • Process payments
  • Conduct background checks
  • Operate as an escrow service

Users may list items they wish to sell or are seeking, but all transfers must comply with applicable laws and occur independently of the app.

Armur allows you to selectively showcase chosen firearms. You decide what to display, what details remain private, and whether a firearm is visible publicly at all.

The Public Gallery is intended for storytelling and discussion — not exposure of sensitive data.

Yes. Your entire vault is private by default. You must explicitly choose which firearms, photos, or notes appear in the Public Gallery.

Sensitive information such as serial numbers should never be displayed publicly.

Yes. You may upload invoices, letters, auction catalogs, export permits, maker correspondence, and other documentation directly to each firearm entry.

Your documents stay associated with the firearm inside your vault.

Yes. Armur allows you to log cleanings, record gunsmith work, track round counts, maintain service history, and add notes for specific range sessions.

This creates a structured care history over time.

No. Armur is designed for firearm collectors broadly, including side-by-side shotguns, over-and-unders, rifles, pistols, accessories, and related equipment.

Armur is available for iPhone, iPad, and Android.

Android phones and tablets are also supported.

Many users find Armur helpful for organizing records relevant to insurance documentation. However, Armur does not act as an insurer or provide insurance advice. Always confirm requirements with your insurance provider.

In Local Mode, locally stored data may be permanently lost if the app is removed or the device is reset.

In Cloud Sync Mode, your data remains available via your account unless you delete your account.

Yes. Collection Export generates a professionally formatted PDF catalog of your entire collection. It includes each item’s maintenance records, photographs, provenance documents, range sessions, and other collection details.

Use Gun Research to explore a firearm by serial number, gun maker, or proof marks and learn more about its identity and history.

Yes. Associate range sessions with a specific gun in your collection and track your personal performance over time. Follow trends in Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays, and Rifle or Pistol target practice.

Yes. Invite fellow shooters and collectors to join the Armur community. You can also refer gun appraisers and gunsmiths to other members.

Yes. Upload an Excel spreadsheet or CSV file to bring your existing collection records into Armur without retyping each entry.

Yes. Armur’s voice-to-text feature lets you speak to fill in fields, making it easier to capture collection details and notes without typing.
