Core local-first application
The repository contains the major firearm inventory, ammunition/reloading, maintenance, photo, security, search, and local-data foundations.

Brass & Powder
A privacy-first, fully offline firearm, ammunition, reloading, maintenance, and range-record application designed to keep sensitive records under the user's control.
PausedLocal-FirstCross-Platform Foundation
Last updated: August 29, 2026. Brass & Powder is currently paused. The repository contains a substantial working React Native foundation and multiple completed security and correctness fixes, but active feature and release work is not underway.
Current State
- Development is paused and the existing codebase is preserved for future continuation.
- The app is designed to operate fully offline with local SQLite storage.
- The current project is a React Native rewrite targeting Android and iOS.
- Release readiness will be re-audited when development resumes rather than represented by stale percentage estimates.
Implemented Foundation
- Firearm inventory with photos and search.
- Ammunition and reloading data including powder, bullets, primers, OAL, velocity, and quantities.
- Maintenance records, costs, and related firearm history.
- PIN lock, biometric authentication, secure key storage, local settings, and offline operation.
Privacy & Architecture
- No cloud account is required for core use.
- User records remain stored locally on the device.
- SQLite provides the local data layer with migration and repository/DAO foundations.
- Release signing secrets are intended to remain outside the repository.
Roadmap
Development checkpoint
No active feature push is underway. The current working state is retained so development can resume from a known baseline.
Re-audit, validate, and prepare release
Resume with a fresh build/runtime audit, validate Android and iOS behavior on current toolchains, close remaining release blockers, and then perform controlled release testing.
Recent Repository Milestones
Working state preserved before GitHub migration
The current application state was committed as a migration checkpoint.
Security and correctness audit remediation
Multiple critical, high, and medium findings were addressed, including PIN-change verification, transaction correctness, lockout behavior, maintenance correctness, biometric naming, migration error handling, and bootstrap error handling.
