About

Expyra

Read full description

You've been there. You open the medicine cabinet — the paracetamol expired six months ago. You reach for the passport before a trip — it expired last year. You check the yogurt — three days past the date. It's not carelessness. There's just too much to remember, and nothing to help you. Expyra fixes that. WHAT EXPYRA TRACKS Food — never throw out what you forgot about. Medicines — replace them while you still have time. Documents — passport, licence, registration, insurance. A missed renewal costs ten times more than this app. Warranties & contracts — never miss the window again. Cosmetics & household — sunscreen, cleaning products, all in one place. SMART ALERTS Choose your reminder: at expiry, 1, 3, 7, 15 or 30 days before. Smart suggestions by category: passport - 30 days, medicine - 7, food - 3. Applied automatically. Cascade alert: set a 30-day reminder and Expyra adds a day-before reminder too. Weekly digest of what expires this week. Premium: set any lead time from 1 to 365 days. iCLOUD BACKUP & RESTORE Automatic iCloud backup (free): turn it on in one tap and Expyra copies your data to your own personal iCloud, protected by your Apple account. New iPhone? Everything is restored in moments. History kept for up to 4 weeks, with protection against accidental mass deletions.
