You've been there. You open the medicine cabinet — the paracetamol expired six months ago. You reach for the passport before a trip — it expired last year. You check the yogurt — three days past the date. It's not carelessness. There's just too much to remember, and nothing to help you. Expyra fixes that. WHAT EXPYRA TRACKS Food — never throw out what you forgot about. Medicines — replace them while you still have time. Documents — passport, licence, registration, insurance. A missed renewal costs ten times more than this app. Warranties & contracts — never miss the window again. Cosmetics & household — sunscreen, cleaning products, all in one place. SMART ALERTS Choose your reminder: at expiry, 1, 3, 7, 15 or 30 days before. Smart suggestions by category: passport - 30 days, medicine - 7, food - 3. Applied automatically. Cascade alert: set a 30-day reminder and Expyra adds a day-before reminder too. Weekly digest of what expires this week. Premium: set any lead time from 1 to 365 days. iCLOUD BACKUP & RESTORE Automatic iCloud backup (free): turn it on in one tap and Expyra copies your data to your own personal iCloud, protected by your Apple account.
