U.S. TACTICAL CONTROL & SURVIVAL SYSTEMS

Know your household's actual readiness — not a guess.

USTCS tracks what you have, scores what you're missing, and helps your whole household — and the people you'd rely on — actually be ready. Runs entirely on your own computer. Your data never leaves it.

One-time payment, no subscription, ever

THE PROBLEM

Every "am I ready" tool fails a different way

Inventory apps

Free pantry-list apps that die from user neglect within a month — one popular competitor already shut down entirely.

Offline AI chatbots

Answer generic survival questions but track nothing about your actual supplies, gear, or region.

Outdoor nav apps

Excellent at maps and trail data — but no help reasoning about readiness or region-specific survival knowledge.

Enterprise platforms

Built and priced for governments and hospitals, not for your household.

WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES

Not a concept — a finished, working system

Twelve modules, working together, all on one machine.

Household Readiness Score

A single weighted percentage, broken down by category, that updates the instant you log an item. Hit a milestone and your tier moves — Getting Started, Prepared, Well-Prepared, Fully Stocked.

Inventory & Days of Supply

Track supplies, quantities, and expiry by category and location — with a live days-of-supply readout and one-tap logging when something gets used up.

Shopping Lists

Generated from your target days of supply and budget. Check items off as you buy them.

Threat Modelling

Scenario planning for grid failure, EMP, pandemic, cyber attack, civil unrest, and more.

Regional Risk Packs

State-specific guidance beyond the base app — see the map below.

Competency Scoring

500+ survival questions across every discipline, scored and tracked over time.

Receipt Scanning

Photograph a receipt and the items are added for you.

Community

18 real-world roles, skills & character assessments, and gap analysis for redundancy.

Medications

Per-person tracking with refill warnings — kept de-identified by design.

Checklist

Everything you still need, ranked by how badly you need it.

Shade Challenge

300 real scenarios — pick the right guide, sharpen your judgment.

Spirit Animals

A 50-question personality read for your family — and your community too.

Offline by Design

Phone alerts over home WiFi, optional local-AI tips, data that never leaves your machine.

BEYOND INVENTORY

Inventory tells you what you have. This teaches you what to do with it.

Two on-screen guides with real personalities, a 500+ question competency engine, 300 judgment-call scenarios, and a mini-game built into every Regional Pack. Try it below — this is real content pulled straight from the app's own library, not a mockup.

Blunt, tactical, no-nonsense. One of two dashboard guides — pick one, or let both rotate.

One gallon of water per person per day minimum. Two is better.

🐺 Wolf — "The strategic pack leader who protects and guides others through crisis." A 50-question read for your family and community.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

No cloud. No account. No subscription.

Everything runs on your own machine. Your inventory, your data, your region — never uploaded anywhere, never dependent on someone else's server staying online. Buy it once. It's yours.

The only exception: a brief one-time internet connection the first time you launch it, to activate your license. After that single check, it runs fully offline for as long as you use it.

GETTING IT

One product, every major platform, a single price

No tiers to compare, no feature paywalls. Everyone gets the whole system.

$34.99 once — most readiness apps charge that every month, forever.

🍎 macOS

Native build for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

💻 Windows

Native build, no installer gymnastics.

🐧 Linux

Native build for common desktop distributions.

One-time payment, no subscription, ever

EXPANSION PACKS

Every state's risks are different. Click yours to see what it actually needs.

The base app's Regional Risks module covers general guidance for every state. Regional Packs go much deeper for the states built so far: state-specific hazard data sourced from government agencies, legal notes, wildlife and foraging guidance, vehicle and home-construction advice, and a clickable county-by-county risk map — built by instructors who've taught this material hands-on.

USTCS Regional Pack coverage map Washington, D.C. (not a state — no Regional Pack applies here)
Pack available Base app coverage only — click to request

Texas

Gulf Coast hurricanes, the Hill Country's "Flash Flood Alley," the western edge of Tornado Alley, and six distinct regions covered individually.

The base app's Regional Risks module still covers you with general guidance. Want this state prioritized? Let us know and we'll count the votes.

$8.99 per state, one time — or any 3 states for $24.99. More states are being added to the catalog over time; the goal is full 50-state coverage. Requires the base USTCS Inventory Auditor app.

OUR ROOTS

Built on real, hands-on experience

U.S. Tactical Control & Survival Systems grew out of years spent traveling across the continental U.S. teaching civilian readiness skills — active shooter response, wilderness and urban survival, escape and evasion, anti-carjacking defense, fire building, emergency trapping, prepping, and community readiness. This is a new chapter — software built by people who've spent real time thinking about what readiness actually requires, not just what looks good in an app store.

See your own household's score.
