Warranty

Receipts, before they lapse.

You buy a dishwasher. Two years later it stops draining, the warranty had eleven months left, and the receipt went in the bin in 2024. Warranty exists for that afternoon. Photograph the receipt when you buy the thing, and the app tells you before the cover runs out — while there is still something you can do about it.

The Warranty item list showing a MacBook Pro from the Apple Store expiring in 10 days and Sony headphones from Currys expiring in 23 days, both in red, above a dishwasher, a drill and an office chair in black, with a collapsed Expired section at the bottom. — Soonest to lapse, first

The new item form just after a scan, with the shop filled in as CURRYS PC WORLD, the purchase date as 14 March 2026 and the price as 470.38, a note underneath saying what was filled in, and the receipt photo attached. — Scanned, then corrected

The detail screen for Sony WH-1000XM5 showing Expires in 19 months above the expiry date, the receipt photo, the shop, purchase date, price and warranty length, and buttons to export a PDF or edit. — Everything in one place

What it does

Scan the receipt, not the form. Point the camera at the receipt. Warranty reads the shop, the date and the total straight off it and drops them into the form, filled in and ready to correct. You add the product name and pick how long the cover lasts.
A countdown, not a date. The list reads “Expires in 3 months”, “Expires in 12 days”. Anything under a month turns red. Expired items fold themselves into a section at the bottom and stop shouting.
Told in time to act. One notification per item, thirty days before the warranty runs out — or seven, fourteen or sixty, if you prefer. That is the only alert the app will ever send you.
A PDF for the shop. When something does break, export the item as a single page: what it is, where and when you bought it, what it cost, when the cover ends, and the photo of the receipt.
Photos of everything. Receipts, the product itself, the serial plate on the back. Tap one to read the small print full screen.
In your own iCloud. Everything syncs across your iPhone and iPad through your own private iCloud database. There is no account to make and no server of ours anywhere.

About the scanning

Receipt layouts vary enormously, and this is worth being honest about: the scan will sometimes read the shop wrong, or pick up the wrong number. It is there to save you typing, not to be trusted.

So every field it fills is an editable field, visibly filled in, with a note underneath saying what it changed. Nothing is saved until you tap Save. Reading the text happens entirely on your device — no image and no recognised text is uploaded anywhere.

The iOS share sheet showing a file called Sony WH-1000XM5 warranty, a PDF document of 98 kilobytes, with options to preview, copy, mark up, print or save to Files. — One page to take to the shop

The Settings screen with a Remind me row set to 30 days before, an explanation that there is one notification per item at 9am, a row confirming notifications are on, and the app version. — Choose your notice period

There is no account of any kind and no server behind this app. Your items and photos are stored on your device and mirrored to your own private iCloud database, which the developer cannot read. There are no analytics, no advertising identifiers and no third-party services.
