Tearoff turns a paper receipt into a deadline you won't miss. Every purchase has a clock on it — a return window that closes, a warranty that expires. Tearoff tracks both and reminds you before they run out, so you never eat the cost of a missed return or a lapsed warranty again. HOW IT WORKS - Add a purchase or scan its receipt. - Tearoff works out the return and warranty windows and shows exactly where each date came from — printed on the receipt, a store policy, or an estimate — so you always know how much to trust it. - You get a reminder before each deadline, and a Home Screen widget that keeps the next ones in view. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your receipts stay on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, and nothing sent to us. FREE - Add receipts by hand - Return-deadline reminders - Your full receipt vault TEAROFF PRO - Scan receipts with the camera and let Tearoff read them for you - Warranty tracking - Export your vault - Home Screen widgets Pro is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tearoff at 5.0 against HDMI's 2.9. Tearoff also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). HDMI's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (75 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
