Guides

Add your first firearm record

Start with make, model, caliber, and type. Save the basic record before adding private details or supporting files.

Guides

Distinguish two firearms of the same model

Keep a separate record for each item. Use a recognizable nickname, personal photo, and supporting documents to distinguish them.

Guides

Link a document to the right firearm

Save a recognizable document title and link it to the firearm it describes. Add a file when you have one.

Guides

Name collection documents so you can find them

Use a document type, item name, and source date. Keep the title readable without adding private identifiers unnecessarily.

Guides

Keep a purchase receipt with the record

Link the receipt, record the known purchase date and amount, and keep any uncertainty separate from the original document.

Guides

Record a value with its source and date

Keep the amount, currency, source, and date together. A recorded value is your figure, not a valuation supplied by Coldbore.

Guides

Record completed maintenance

Save the work that was completed, the date, and any supporting notes or cost. A future task belongs in a reminder.

Guides

Connect a service invoice to maintenance history

Keep the invoice with the firearm and record the completed work separately. The document supports the entry without replacing it.

Guides

Keep a source beside a maintenance interval

Use an applicable source for the interval and retain the starting date or round baseline. Coldbore does not choose a safe interval for you.

Guides

Record rounds from before Coldbore

Keep a known earlier round count separate from newly posted sessions. Label an estimate as an estimate.

Guides

Start a factual range session

Save an owned firearm first. Then open Range, select the firearm, and create the session record.

Guides

Review and post a range session

Check the firearm, ammunition, date, and round count before choosing Review & post. A draft is not part of posted history.

Guides

Write useful notes after a range visit

Record the date, venue, items, counts, and factual observations while you still remember them. Keep observations separate from conclusions.

Guides

Reuse a saved range plan for record entry

Saved range plans retain useful record details for a future session. They remain free and do not establish that the session happened.

Guides

Record a session with untracked ammunition

Keep the ammunition clearly untracked when you cannot identify a saved lot. Do not imply that an unknown quantity was reconciled.

Guides

Reconcile an ammunition quantity record

Compare opening quantity, additions, recorded use, and the counted closing quantity. Explain any difference in a dated record.

Guides

Reconcile a firearm’s recorded round count

Separate the starting baseline from later sessions. Compare the total with your source records and check for duplicated activity.

Guides

Find a collection record in Search

Search a recognizable name or detail, then open the connected result. Clear titles help you find the right entry offline.

Guides

Review text recognized from a document

Treat recognized text as a convenience for finding and entering details. Check important names, amounts, dates, and identifiers against the source.

Guides

Turn on Coldbore iCloud Backup

Open Settings, then iCloud Backup. Turn it on and verify a successful recovery point. Backup stays free.

Guides

Check whether a recent change was backed up

Compare the saved recovery point with the change you made. A backup setting being on does not prove the latest upload completed.

Guides

Restore Coldbore on a new device

Sign in to the same Apple Account, then use Restore from iCloud in onboarding or Settings. Review the recovery point before restoring.

Guides

Resolve an iCloud storage problem before backup

Check the stated storage error and your available iCloud space. Confirm a new successful recovery point after resolving the issue.

Guides

Turn off backup on this device

Turn off Coldbore iCloud Backup when that is your choice. New changes on this device then remain local until backup is enabled again.

Guides

Keep a recovery key with a clear purpose

A Coldbore recovery key can help unlock the matching backup when automatic key recovery fails. Keep it private and distinct from an Apple recovery key.

Guides

Choose CSV, HTML, or PDF for a collection copy

Use CSV for table work, HTML for a readable copy, and PDF for a fixed report. Choose the format for the recipient’s actual task.

Guides

Review a collection copy before sharing it

Inspect the generated file, notes, photographs, and original attachments. A masked field does not redact information elsewhere in the copy.

Guides

Check a photo for private details before sharing

Review the image itself for identifiers, documents, location clues, and unrelated people. Text export settings cannot redact the original photo.

Guides

Prepare records for an insurance conversation

Ask the insurer what documents, dates, and figures it needs. Prepare a bounded factual copy and keep valuations separate from purchase prices.

Guides

Prepare a record for a service provider

Share the item identity, relevant service history, and the documents the provider requests. Keep unrelated collection details out of the copy.

Guides

Prepare a factual collection summary for family

Choose the records and context a trusted person needs. Explain where the current records and sources live without promising legal authority.

Guides

Keep a factual ownership-change record

Record the item, date, source, and status change you know. Retain the earlier history rather than rewriting it as though nothing changed.

Guides

Review a collection’s document gaps

Check whether the documents you chose to keep are present, readable, and linked correctly. A document gap is not a legal-compliance finding.

Guides

Record an exception during collection review

Name the unresolved fact, the evidence you checked, and the next step. An explicit exception is more useful than an unexplained complete label.

Guides

Choose a useful record review date

Pick a date for revisiting a source or figure and label it as your review date. Keep it distinct from an official expiry date.

Guides

Manage Coldbore Membership

Apple manages billing and cancellation. Coldbore’s Restore Purchases checks an existing membership on the device.

Guides

Restore an existing membership purchase

Use Restore Purchases on the Coldbore membership page while signed in to the purchasing Apple Account.

Guides

Request an App Store purchase refund

Request a refund through Apple’s Report a Problem service. Apple decides eligibility and handles the payment.

Guides

Contact Coldbore support without private records

Describe the app problem and the screen involved. Email coldbore@humenhuk.com without attaching collection records unless the request needs them.

Guides

Review recovery before replacing a device

Verify a current recovery point and account access before removing the old device’s local records.

Guides

Review Recently Deleted before removing records permanently

Use the app’s recovery area to inspect deleted records before permanent deletion. Review linked material and recovery choices.

Guides

Review before erasing local Coldbore records

Erasing local records turns backup off on this device. It does not delete existing iCloud backups or copies you already shared.
