Secure. Private. Yours.
Encrypted on your device before anything is stored. Your key stays with you.
Free to start. No card required. Already tracking in a spreadsheet or another app? We make importing easy.
Why the usual options fall short
A spreadsheet can list a serial number. A cloud folder can hold a photo. Neither was built to keep your firearms, documents, values, storage, permits, trusts, and recovery instructions connected in one private record.
Your serials and safe combinations sit in plain text wherever that file syncs — a laptop, a cloud drive, an email attachment.
Usually encrypted, but the provider keeps the key — so a database breach, a subpoena, or one support ticket can all end the same way.
Your device generates a random vault key and encrypts record contents before upload. Password, recovery and supported passkey mechanisms protect the wrapped key copies we store. Account metadata and optional AI or support disclosures have separate boundaries.
Your record contents are encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM — the same cipher the U.S. government specifies for its own most sensitive data. See what it would actually take to break in — the real crack times, from a reused password to a six-word passphrase, and an honest account of what encryption does not protect you from.
Built for the whole collection, not just the guns
Every corner of a collection, organized the way a collector actually thinks about their gear.
Carry & reciprocity
The reciprocity map is free for every visitor — checked against each state's own official source, not crowdsourced data, no account required. Saving your own permits to track, with renewal reminders, is free too — unlimited permits on every tier, including the free one.
Every state shows exactly where its answer came from and when it was last checked, because carry law changes state by state, sometimes mid-year. The information you need is in your hand, not buried in a forum thread.
It runs entirely on your device — the permits you hold are never sent anywhere to get an answer. And it says plainly what it is: general information from official sources, not legal advice. Laws and permit recognition can change — verify current requirements with the relevant state before you travel.
Illustrative example. Your own map reflects the permits you actually hold, checked against each state's official source.
Switching from a spreadsheet or another app
Import from a CSV — your own spreadsheet, or an export from another tracking app — and columns get matched automatically. No re-typing every serial number by hand.
Point it at a folder of photos and each one links to the right firearm automatically, matched by filename — nothing to re-upload one at a time.
The file is read and matched entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to make the match — only the encrypted result is ever stored.
Your spreadsheet header → what it becomes
Why this matters
Not marketing math — public data on what happens when a collection has no record of what's in it.
The average gun-owning household holds about five firearms — enough serial numbers, purchase dates and values that almost no one could recite them all from memory.
Gallup, 2023 ↗Firearms stolen in the U.S. every year, by ATF's own estimate — the large majority straight out of private homes, most with no photo or serial number on file anywhere.
ATF, 2023 ↗Of firearms stolen in home burglaries, still unrecovered six months later. The time to record serials and values is before a theft, not after.
Bureau of Justice Statistics ↗What a standard homeowners policy typically caps an entire firearms collection at for theft — regardless of what it's actually worth, unless it's separately scheduled.
Policygenius ↗How long the average estate spends in probate — long enough that heirs need a clear, dated record of every firearm and NFA item before the paperwork even starts.
American Bar Association ↗The maximum prison term an executor can personally face for mishandling an NFA item's federal paperwork while settling an estate — a liability no other item in a will carries.
Geauga County Probate Court ↗Sourced from public data, current as of this page's last update — none of it is specific to CaliberBase Vault or its customers. Cited so you can check it yourself, not so you'll take our word for it.
Ready before you need it
A theft, fire, loss, or insurance claim is the worst time to hunt down serial numbers, photos, receipts, and estimated values. Vault helps keep the record together before you need to prove what was there.
Vault helps organize documentation and does not guarantee insurance coverage, claim approval, reimbursement, or any law-enforcement outcome.
Built for what happens later
Trusts records each NFA trust with its trustees and beneficiaries — not an afterthought field, but its own tracked entity. Documents holds the wills, deeds and insurance that go with it.
And the estate sheet turns all of it into a single printable page — kept with your recovery kit — that tells a spouse or executor exactly how to reach the vault, without needing you to explain it to them first. Paired with a full inventory export, it gives them everything needed to prove what's there and who it belongs to.
It works the same private way everywhere else in Vault: an executor with your recovery kit signs in exactly the way you do, using the same recovery code and email — there's no separate admin path into the vault's contents.
Vault helps organize information for estate planning and continuity. It is not legal advice and does not replace advice from a qualified attorney, trustee, or estate-planning professional.
