Common questions
Where does my collection live?
On your iPhone by default. Gunmark has no account and no server of its own. Optional iCloud sync uses Apple CloudKit under your own Apple ID, and Big Beard Apps cannot read it. Sharing a PDF or CSV is another way a copy leaves your device.
How does iCloud sync work?
In Settings you can turn on sync through your Apple iCloud. Your data stays in your private CloudKit database. There is no Gunmark login and no Gunmark backend. Leave it off and everything stays on the device.
How do I import or export a CSV?
In Settings, Export lets you pick Firearms, Parts and Maintenance. Import accepts a CSV you built or one Gunmark exported earlier. Photos and documents are not in the CSV.
What happens if I delete the app?
If you delete Gunmark without a backup, an export or iCloud sync, your data is gone. Export a PDF or CSV first if you want a copy.
