Expiry Manager: reminders before passports, licences and policies expire

About Expiry Manager

Expiry Manager keeps track of the dates that cause trouble when missed: passports, driving licences, insurance policies, professional certificates, warranties, contracts, domain names, permits, trademarks and subscriptions. You add an item, choose when you want to be warned, and it reminds you while there is still time to act, starting as early as six months before.

The quickest way in is Smart Scan. You photograph a document and it reads the dates for you, then asks you to confirm before saving; the example on the homepage reads a driving licence expiry with 96 percent confidence. Items can be organised into folders and seen on a calendar, and recurring subscriptions get their own view with price history on paid plans.

The free plan is meant to be useful on its own: 12 items, 5 Smart Scans a month, 10 folders and 5 subscriptions, with no card. The pricing page lists Premium at $4 a month, which removes the limits and adds custom reminder timing, export and version history, and Teams at $6 a month for up to five people sharing folders, with assignments and an activity log for a household or small business.

It does one thing and keeps it calm. If you already live in a shared calendar, the value is mainly in Smart Scan and the advance warnings.
