Makeup and skincare do not come with a reminder. CosmeTick adds one. Scan a product or add it by hand, tell the app when you opened it, and it works out when the product should go. SCAN AND ADD IN SECONDS Point the camera at a barcode. When the product is found, its name, brand, shelf life after opening (PAO) and category are filled in for you. If it is not found, add it by hand and choose the PAO period yourself. KNOW WHEN IT SHOULD GO CosmeTick calculates the expiry date from the day you opened the product and its PAO, then shows a clear status: Fresh, Use first or Expired. Filter your shelf by All, Use first or Expired to see what to reach for next. REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE IN TIME Get a reminder 14 days before a product expires, again 3 days before, and on the day itself. An optional weekly check-in nudges you to add new purchases and review your shelf. YOUR WHOLE COLLECTION AT A GLANCE • Search across everything you own. • Sort products into categories: makeup, face care, body care, hair care, perfume, nail care and more. • See how much of your shelf is still fresh, and how much to use first or replace. ALWAYS IN SIGHT • Home Screen widgets in small, medium and large sizes. • Lock Screen widgets that show what expires next. • Light and dark mode. • Made for iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Export your products to CSV and import them back whenever you need, for a backup or a move to a new device. CosmeTick Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, available weekly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Account Settings. Expiry dates are estimates based on the opening date and PAO you enter. Always check the packaging and use your own judgement.
