ArmoryVault is a personal inventory for firearms, accessories, and ammunition you already have. It records what you enter, including photos and notes. It does not sell, buy, or broker firearms or ammunition, and it does not create an account.

Questions

Does the collection sync across devices?

Yes, when each device is signed into the same iCloud account and iCloud is available for ArmoryVault. Sync uses your private iCloud database only. Firearms, accessories, ammunition, photos, your maker and caliber lists, and reminder template text are included. The PIN, Face ID preference, sort settings, and reminder history stay on each device.

What if I forget the PIN?

On the lock screen, choose Forgot PIN. iOS asks for the device passcode (or the biometrics that unlock the device). You can then create a new 6-digit PIN. The collection is not deleted. The PIN itself never syncs, so each device has its own PIN. If you cannot pass the device passcode, the app cannot replace the PIN.

How do backups and export work?

There is no separate backup account. The on-device store is part of the device, and iCloud sync is the copy in your private iCloud database. From Reports you can export a CSV or PDF. From a firearm you can export a PDF that includes its photos. The share sheet sends that file only where you choose. A normal iOS device backup, if you use one, is handled by Apple, not by an ArmoryVault server.

What happens when iCloud is off?

The collection stays on that device. Nothing is uploaded. Settings shows that sync is off. Turning iCloud on later can upload the records already stored on the device to your private database.

How do I delete my data?

In the app, open Settings and choose Delete all my data. Confirm twice. That removes firearms, accessories, ammunition, photos, and your other collection records on this device. With iCloud sync on, the same deletion applies to your private iCloud database and to other devices on that account. Built-in maker and caliber lists and the default reminder templates can be created again. The PIN is not removed by this action.

Deleting the app removes the on-device copy and that device’s PIN. Data already in iCloud remains until you delete it in the app while sync is on, or remove ArmoryVault in iOS Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage.
