Cannery
The self-hosted firearm tracker app
Categories:
Cannery is a self-hosted web app for firearm owners to track their ammunition and firearm inventory privately and securely.
๐ Overview
Cannery is an open-source, self-hosted application designed to help firearm enthusiasts and owners manage their ammunition and firearm inventories. It allows users to log ammo consumption, monitor stock levels before and after range days, and organize storage securely on their own servers, avoiding privacy risks associated with cloud-based services.
The project solves the challenge of tracking sensitive firearm-related data without relying on third-party apps that could expose personal information. It's built for privacy-focused self-hosters, shooters, collectors, and anyone managing personal armories who prioritizes data sovereignty.
Developed to provide a simple yet powerful tool for inventory management, Cannery emphasizes ease of use and security through self-hosting.
