## What is PurchaseGuard v1?

Every online order comes with a clock you can't see. PurchaseGuard makes it visible.

Add a purchase in seconds — photograph the receipt with the in-app camera, choose one from your library, or type it in — and PurchaseGuard works out when the return window closes and when the warranty runs out. Then it reminds you before either one does.

SEE WHAT IS STILL PROTECTED
The dashboard leads with Purchase Value Protected: the money still eligible for a refund, exchange or warranty claim. Alongside it sits what is at risk this week and how reliably you act before a deadline lapses.

DEADLINES FILLED IN FOR YOU
Pick the retailer and the return window is applied from its published policy — 30 days at one store, 90 at another, 15 at the next — with a 12-month warranty as the default. Every number stays editable, because your receipt is the real authority.

REMINDERS ON YOUR LADDER
Choose your own lead times — 30, 14, 7, 3 or 1 day before a return closes, and the same for a warranty expiring. They arrive on this device. There is no push server, no SMS, and reminders are never behind the paywall.

YOUR PURCHASE TIMELINE
Every item in one chronological list with its photo, retailer, days remaining and a colour-coded status: protected, action needed soon, deadline today, or expired. Search it, filter it, and act on any row.

AN ADVISOR FOR THE HARD ONES
Not sure whether to keep it? Answer five quick questions — used, packaging, damaged, wrong size or colour, restocking fee — optionally attach a photo of the damage, and get a clear call: Keep It, Exchange It, Return It, or File a Warranty Claim, each with plain-language reasoning and a transparent 0-100 urgency score you can see the workings of.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your purchases live in your own account. There is no email or inbox scraping, no bank connection, and no data sale. Product photos stay on your device and are never uploaded. A receipt or damage photo is read once for its text and then discarded — never stored.

PURCHASEGUARD PRO (optional subscription)
The whole safety net — reminders, automatic return windows, warranty tracking and the protected-value headline — is free. Pro adds the depth:
- Unlimited tracked items (free covers 5 active)
- Money-protected trends over time
- Category and retailer breakdowns
- The price-adjustment radar and recovery-rate history
- Export a protection report

$4.99 per month or $49.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.

RETURN WINDOWS ARE TYPICAL PUBLISHED POLICIES, NOT PROMISES
PurchaseGuard is an awareness tool. Retailers change their terms, and individual items and receipts can differ. Always check with the retailer before you rely on a date. Nothing here is financial advice.
