AdminShark keeps the boring-but-important stuff from sneaking up on you. Track your vehicle rego, WOF and RUC, your car, health, life and home & contents insurance, product warranties and subscriptions. Each one keeps its provider, cost, dates and a photo of the paperwork, and AdminShark reminds you before anything is due, so nothing ever lapses. • One place for everything that renews • A reminder on your phone, a set number of days before each due date (30 by default) • Spending insights that show what your renewals cost per year and per month, in your local currency • Adapts to your country: local terms (rego, WOF, MOT, road tax and more) and your local currency, set in Settings • Per-vehicle service history and document photos • A private vault for passports, IDs, bank details, wills and contacts, in encrypted records only you can open Private by design. There is no account and no server of ours; every record and photo lives on your device. No ads, no tracking. Export a backup whenever you like; only you hold it. Free for your first 4 assets, with no ads, ever. Premium removes the cap for unlimited assets. Every feature is included on the free tier. Premium is an optional auto-renewable subscription (1 month, auto-renewing) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Pricing is shown in the app before you buy and varies by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation, and a monthly subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://adminshark.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
