Your passport expired three weeks ago. You find out at the airport. Renewly makes sure that never happens. Add your documents once, and it reminds you well before they expire — while there is still time to renew. NEW IN 3.0: SELFA, FOR MONEY YOU LENT OR BORROWED Lent a friend money? Borrowed some? Record it once, set a due date, and Renewly reminds you the day before and the day it's due. When someone is late, a polite message is ready to send in Messages or WhatsApp, in the tone you choose. Today shows your documents and your money in one list, so nothing arrives as a surprise. It only keeps a record: Renewly never moves money, and nothing leaves your iPhone. Record partial repayments in any currency, mark a debt as forgiven, and see who owes you at a glance on the Money widget. TRIP CHECK Planning a trip? Enter the destination and dates, and Trip Check compares them with your documents: whether each passport stays valid long enough for that country, whether you need a visa or travel authorization, and whether the visas you saved cover your stay. The visa rules come from official government sources and cover 14 destinations, including the Schengen area, the UK, the US, Canada, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Japan. Rules change, so confirm with the official source before you go. Trip Check is free; Unlimited saves your trips and checks your documents again before you leave. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Passport • Driver's license • National ID card • Residence permit and visa • Vehicle registration • Insurance and health cards • Professional licenses and certifications • Warranties, or anything else with a date on it REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE IN TIME • Reminders timed for each document: months ahead for a passport or permit, days ahead for insurance — plus one on the expiry day • See everything at a glance: green is fine, orange is soon, red is expired • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show what's due next • Tap a reminder to open that document straight away SCAN INSTEAD OF TYPING Point your camera at a document. Renewly reads it on your iPhone, recognizes what kind of document it is, and finds the expiration date for you. Check the details, confirm, and you are done. No typing dates from a tiny printed line. YOUR DOCUMENTS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE This is the part we care most about, so we will be plain about it: • No account. No sign-up. No password. • No server. Your documents are never uploaded anywhere. • No tracking, no ads, no analytics. • Scanning runs on your device with Apple's Vision framework. Only the expiration date you confirm is saved. No other text from your document is kept. • Lock the app with Face ID. Your document photos stay blurred until you unlock them. • Export your documents and money as a CSV file whenever you want your own copy. PRICING Renewly is free for up to 3 documents. If you need more, one purchase unlocks Renewly Unlimited: unlimited documents, family members (keep everyone's documents together, with reminders that say whose document it is), Add to Calendar, Siri and Shortcuts ("What expires next?"), and reminders on the days you choose. It is a one-time payment. There is no subscription and there never will be. Restore it on your other devices at any time, and share it with your family through Family Sharing. Free also covers 3 open money entries in Selfa. Unlimited removes that limit too, saves your trips with a reminder before you go, unlocks all four nudge tones, and lets Siri answer "Who owes me?". DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE Renewly works with VoiceOver, Voice Control and larger text sizes, with clear colors and labels in light and dark mode. It speaks English, French, Spanish, Arabic, German, Italian and Portuguese, with full right-to-left support for Arabic. Add your passport today. Your future self will thank you.
