Firehall Sharing
– Invite teammates to your station’s data via iCloud/CloudKit.
– Shared edits sync instantly—no more emailing spreadsheets or juggling paper logs.
– Conflict detection prevents duplicate memberships and alerts you if someone’s already in another hall.
Subscription-Driven Collaboration
– Core functionality is free: build and maintain your own local firehall, trucks, items, and checklists.
– Opt into an Auto-Renewable subscription (monthly or yearly) to unlock full multi-user sharing.
– If your subscription lapses, sharing is automatically revoked to protect data integrity.
Offline-First & Secure
– All data lives locally in Core Data; you’re never blocked by poor connectivity.
– When you’re back online, changes merge and propagate via CloudKit automatically.
– Your information is stored in your private iCloud—FFF Truckcheck never sells or exposes your records.
Under the Hood
NSPersistentCloudKitContainer powers a single, shared SQLite store scoped to CloudKit’s shared database.
Automatic history tracking and change notifications keep view updates smooth and conflict-free.
Swift concurrency and structured tasks handle subscriptions, product requests, and asynchronous CloudKit work.
Who It’s For
• Volunteer and career departments that need a modern, mobile-first replacement for pen-and-paper or spreadsheet workflows.
• Station officers who want immediate visibility into truck readiness and equipment status.
• Firefighters who need a reliable, offline-capable app that syncs flawlessly when they’re back on the network.
What does is cost
FFF Truckcheck remains completely free for individual firefighters—every user can download the app and access all inspection, inventory, and function-check features at no charge. To enable the creation of a data and real-time sharing across your entire station, your department simply takes out a single auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly) that covers everyone. This keeps things straightforward: individual crew members never pay a dime—once your firehall subscribes, all your team gains instant access to shared apparatus lists, gear logs, and checklists.
Compatibility
FFF Truckcheck is purpose-built for iOS (iPhone and iPad) to deliver rock-solid performance, seamless CloudKit syncing, and built-in security—without the hassle of managing separate user accounts. By focusing on Apple devices, setup is as simple as an iCloud invite: no usernames or passwords to distribute, and no extra infrastructure to maintain. Best of all, because everyone on your crew can instantly join the shared station database, you’ll cut inspection times dramatically—teams can complete truck checks up to 50 percent faster when multiple firefighters participate simultaneously.
