From first launch to a sellable barrel report.

On first launch the app opens a short Getting Started guide: add a firearm, optionally add the loads you shoot, then open your first range log. Each step opens the real form, so what you enter is your data. You can bring the guide back any time from Settings → Help → Getting Started Guide.

Doing it by hand, the order is gear, then a rifle, then loads. Add your barrel (with its expected life and a cleaning interval), action, optic and so on under Gear. Create a Firearm and mount those parts in its slots. Then add the components and Loads you shoot. After that, every range day is a two-minute entry. See the guide.

You don't type them. A part's round count is its starting round count (what it had before you started tracking) plus every shot string fired in a range log where that part was on the gun. Edit or delete a session and every count corrects itself. The only number you ever enter is rounds per string.

Tap New Range Log at the top of the home screen. Add a shot string for each load you fired (rounds, then load). Confirm the firearm; if you swapped a part for the day, tap that slot and pick the part, and optionally save the new configuration back to the rifle. Fill conditions by hand or from your location. Save. See the screens.

A string is a batch of rounds of one load. A typical match day might be one string of 95 rounds of your match load; a load-development day might be six strings of 5 rounds each. Chrono data and target photos attach to a string.

In Garmin ShotView, open the session and share its CSV export. Choose Invictus RangeLog in the share sheet; the app opens a new range log prefilled with the shot count and velocities. Or open a session, find the string, and tap Import CSV. Manual entry is there too. Details.

On a string, tap Add Target, take or choose a photo, then mark two reference points a known distance apart (a 1-inch grid square, or the target's printed diameter) and tap each bullet hole. The app computes extreme spread, mean radius and MOA, and stamps the target with the barrel's round count so the trend chart works. Details.

Edit any gear item and add intervals: a kind (Cleaning, Borescope, Inspection…) and a round count. Each interval counts rounds since the last logged maintenance event of that kind. Log an event from the item's Service button. Due and overdue show on the item, in lists, and on the home screen. Details.

Open the barrel and tap Export. Choose what to include, then Share PDF (or JSON). You'll see a "Building PDF…" overlay for a second or two. The PDF has specs, total rounds, rounds by load, maintenance log, group-size trend and life used. Details.

No. Everything works offline with no sign-in. Sign in (Apple or email) only if you want your data backed up and shared between your devices. Sync is end-to-end encrypted; see how it works.

The key that scrambles your data lives only on your devices. If you get a new phone and don't use iCloud Keychain, that phone cannot read your synced data until you give it the key. Settings → Encryption → Export Encryption Key saves a small file; keep it in a password manager. On a new device, Import Encryption Key and everything comes back. Details.

That phone doesn't have your key. Either import your exported key file, turn on Keep key in iCloud Keychain on both devices, or, if you've lost the key for good, tap Replace Server Data with This Phone's to start the server copy over from whatever is on that phone.

Settings → Sign Out & Delete Server Data wipes the server copy and keeps your phone's. Delete Account removes the account and everything with it. Deleting the app removes the local database. Nothing is retained.
