What is GearDex?
GearDex is the operating system for your camera gear: a freemium camera gear inventory and shoot planning app for photographers, videographers, and studios. Smart Add builds rich item records in seconds from a model name or serial, pulling in specs, mount compatibility, and value, while Iris AI answers questions across your collection, checks lens mount compatibility, and helps you find the right gear for a shoot. Plan shoots with reusable rig configurations, packing checklists, availability calendars, and loan tracking for borrowed or rented kit; log serial numbers, receipts, warranties, purchase price and market value, and maintenance schedules. Runs in the browser and as Mac Desktop 1.2.0 (macOS 13+, Apple Silicon and Intel). Pricing is freemium: Starter is free for up to 25 items, Pro is $39/year, and Studio is $179/year.
