Photography Gear Inventory & Records

Big update!

GearVault is now officially called Gridszy.

After spending a lot of time building, testing, and improving the app, I decided it was time for a new name that better represents the future of the project.

Gridszy is an offline-first photography gear management app that helps photographers organize cameras, lenses, accessories, serial numbers, receipt photos, warranties, and ownership records all in one place.

The app is still built by me, Kendall, and development is continuing every day. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project so far. I'm excited to keep building and share what's next.

I'm 16 years old and I've been building an offline-first Android app for photographers.

It stores camera gear, lenses, accessories, serial numbers, receipt photos, and ownership records using Flutter + SQLite.

Just finished all 8 Google Play screenshots. 🚀

One problem: I can't use the name GearVault anymore because similar apps already exist.

Got any name ideas?

@vadym_petryshyn Well gearvault is taken by other users do you have another recommendation

[kendallbuilds @CodesKr1]

I’m 16 and I built an offline-first Android app for photographers — but I need help naming it.

The current name is too close to existing apps, so I’m looking for something better.

What the app does:

• Organizes camera gear, lenses, and accessories
• Stores serial numbers and purchase info
• Saves receipt photos and documentation
• Everything stays locally on your device

I want something memorable, premium, and something photographers would actually remember.

I'm Kendall, a 16-year-old developer and photographer.

I built GearVault, an app that helps photographers organize camera gear, lenses, accessories, receipt photos, and ownership documentation.

Right now GearVault is Android-only, but an iOS version is planned for the future.

I've also launched my website: https://t.co/eq9ZFHrB1G. It's the home for everything I'm building, including GearVault, future projects, and my journey as a young developer.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me so far. This is just the beginning. 🚀📸#KendallBuilds #GearVault #BuildInPublic #Startup #Photography #CameraGear #AppDevelopment #IndieDev

Hello my name is Kendall and I am 16 years old and I built an app called GearVault. It’s an offline-first app for photographers that stores camera gear, lenses, accessories, receipt photos, and proof-of-ownership documentation.

I officially reached 24 tester emails, so GearVault is now getting ready for the Google Play Store launch soon. Today I’m showing the app and the progress I’ve made so far.

Thank you to everyone supporting my app and my tech journey 📸🔥

I officially reached 20 tester emails for GearVault. 🔥

For everyone who supported, shared, commented, or offered to test the app thank you seriously.

GearVault is an offline-first app I built for photographers to store camera gear, lenses, accessories, receipt photos, and proof-of-ownership documentation.

Next step: Google Play launch.
After that: desktop app + full website. 📸
Building all of this at 16 has been crazy, but we’re just getting started.

Trying a passion fruit mango mousse for $6.99 🥭✨
My name is Kendall, and I’m taste testing it to see if it’s actually worth the price. Smooth, tropical, and sweet let’s see if it hits.

Hello my name is Kendall so I was wondering how do 16 year olds my age make a Google Play Store developer account when you’re supposed to be 18? I’m currently building GearVault, an offline-first Flutter app for photographers, and trying to learn the whole app publishing process while building in public.
