Snap a bill, an insurance policy or a passport, and LocalScan Box finds the date that matters — the payment due date, the expiry date, the end of a warranty — and reminds you ahead of time. LocalScan Box reads document dates on your device, shows the source line and lets you check them before setting reminders. No account needed. READS THE DATE FROM THE PAPER • Payment due dates on bills and invoices • Expiry dates on passports • The end date of an insurance policy, a lease or a contract • Warranty end dates, worked out from the purchase date and the warranty period • Reads documents in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Korean and Chinese • When the paper does not make it clear whether 03/04 means March 4 or April 3, the date is shown for you to check before anything is added • No date on the paper? Add it yourself in a few taps REMINDERS TIMED FOR EACH DOCUMENT • Passport: 12 months and 6 months before it expires • Insurance policy: 2 months, 1 month and 1 week before it ends • Warranty: 1 month and 1 week before it ends • Bills: 3 days before and on the due date • Contracts and leases: 3 months and 1 month before they end • School forms: the day before and on the day • Anything else: 1 week and 1 day before Choose the time of day you get reminders in Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SubFeeds at none against LocalScan Box's 3. SubFeeds also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
