Expiry Pilot: Scan & Remind

Passports, warranties, insurance, subscriptions, food in the pantry: they all expire, and the surprise usually costs money.

Expiry Pilot remembers every date that matters and warns you early enough to act.

SCAN INSTEAD OF TYPING
Point your camera at a label or document, or import a photo or PDF. Expiry Pilot reads the text on your Android device and suggests the expiry date. It understands expiry wording in 20 scanner languages and DD/MM, MM/DD and YYYY-MM-DD formats. Nothing is saved until you confirm it. It also reads QR codes and product barcodes, and can fill in a product's name and category for you.

REMINDERS THAT MATCH THE ITEM
A passport needs months of notice. A free trial needs a few days. Expiry Pilot starts each category with sensible lead times, for example 180, 90, 30, 7 and 1 day for identity and travel documents, or 3 days and 1 day for free trials and food. Every item also gets a final alert on the due day. You can change any of these. Time-sensitive notifications help important alerts get through, and auto-renewing items can get an extra reminder before you're charged.

MORE THAN ONE DATE PER ITEM
Add cancellation deadlines, start dates and any other important dates to the same item. Each one gets its own reminders. You can also set items to repeat after each renewal.

THE FULL STORY OF EVERY ITEM
Record renewals, cancellations and postponements. Your history stays organized and editable, so you can always see when something was renewed and what it cost.

ORGANIZED YOUR WAY
• Profiles for you, a partner, kids, pets, home or work
• Your own custom categories
• Photos, PDFs, reference numbers, provider, cost, links and where you keep the item
• A timeline of everything coming up
• Warnings when you might be adding the same item twice

BUILT FOR ANDROID
• Home screen widgets in small, medium, and large sizes
• Google Assistant and Shortcuts: "Scan an expiry with Expiry Pilot" or "Show my next due item in Expiry Pilot"
• Add to Calendar, or export all your dates as a calendar file
• App Lock with device biometrics (fingerprint or face unlock), which hides item names while locked
• Haptic feedback and a choice of app language

OPTIONAL AI SCAN ASSISTANT
Want more filled in for you? Turn on the AI assistant and connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or OpenRouter account. It reads a scan and suggests the name, category, dates and other details. It's off by default. Your key is encrypted and stays on your device, and your saved items are never sent.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account needed.
• No ads, no cross-app tracking, no analytics tools.
• Text and barcode reading happens on your device. Only a recognized product barcode is sent to Open Food Facts or Open Products Facts to look up its name.
• Back up and restore your data yourself, or export to CSV.

20 LANGUAGES
The app automatically detects the system language and allows you to switch languages at any time from the settings page. All of the app's localizations have been reviewed by native speakers.

FREE AND PREMIUM
Every feature is free for up to 5 active items. Premium removes the limit and adds automatic encrypted Google Drive backup. You can buy it once for life or as an annual subscription. If Premium ends, your saved items are never deleted.

The annual subscription renews automatically until you cancel. You can manage or cancel it in your Google Play Store settings at least 24 hours before it renews.

Scanned dates are suggestions. Always check official legal, medical, travel, insurance and contract deadlines with the organization that issued them.
