Family timeline: the year ahead, with the renewal money on top

What it does

One timeline for the family.

Each person gets a colour, and every document sits on one line through the months ahead, so you can see which months have renewals coming up. Something ending soon turns amber, then red. Prefer a list? One tap switches to a list sorted by the next end date.

The end date, read from a photo.

Photograph the document and RenewBy reads the text on your phone. It looks for labels such as "Date of expiry", "Valid until" and field 4b on a driving licence card, and tries to tell the end date apart from the other dates. You check it and confirm before anything is saved.

Reminders with time to act.

A passport gets its first reminder nine months ahead, car and home insurance thirty days ahead. Change any first reminder; after it come reminders 30 days before, 7 days before and on the day, at the time of day you pick.

What the year of renewals costs.

Add what each renewal costs and mark the ones that renew on their own. Pro adds up the next 12 months, shows how much renews automatically, and reminds you a few weeks before an auto-renewal. Different currencies are never added together.

Mark it renewed.

When the new passport or policy arrives, tap "I renewed it", confirm the new end date, and the reminders move with it.

Locked and kept on your phone.

Lock RenewBy with your phone's fingerprint, face or PIN. Screenshots inside the app are blocked, and Android's own cloud backup is turned off for it. Your document photos stay in the app's private storage unless you make a backup file yourself.

Why it works this way

Dates you confirmed.

RenewBy reminds you before the dates you saved. It never invents one: a date read from a photo is only a suggestion until you confirm it.

Your documents stay on your phone.

There is no account, and your documents, photos and dates are never uploaded. Crash reports and usage statistics are sent to help fix problems; neither contains your documents. The standard version shows one small ad, on the Money tab only.

A backup you control.

One backup file holds every document and photo and restores on a new phone. Backup is included in the standard version.

Not connected to anyone.

RenewBy does not know the rules of any country, passport office or insurer and is not connected to any of them. Check what applies to you before you travel or renew.

Questions

Which documents can I add?

Passports, driving licences, ID cards, visas, residence permits, car, home, travel, pet, health and life insurance, vehicle tax, vehicle inspection, railcards and travel passes, TV licences, warranties, memberships, subscriptions, or anything else with an end date.

How does it read the date from a photo?

The text is read on your phone, not sent anywhere. RenewBy offers the end date it found, with any other dates on the document, and you confirm the right one. If it finds nothing, you pick the date yourself.

Does it keep my passport number?

RenewBy never saves a document number as text; only the date is read out. The photo itself stays in its private storage on your phone, and the photo may still show the number.

When do the reminders arrive?

At the first reminder you set, nine months ahead for a passport by default, then 30 days, 7 days and on the day, at the time you choose. Settings can send a test and shows what to check if reminders stop.

Will it tell me if my passport is valid for a trip?

No. Entry rules differ from country to country, and RenewBy only knows the end date you saved. Check the rules for where you are travelling.

What happens if Pro ends?

Everything you saved stays readable and editable, with every reminder. The standard limits apply only to adding more people and documents, and the Money view needs Pro.

Can I share it with my partner?

Each phone keeps its own records; they do not sync. Make a backup file in Settings and restore it on the other phone, which adds the records it does not already have.

What languages is it in?

English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

Know what ends next, and when.

Start by adding a passport or an insurance policy. One person and six documents are included.
