Never miss a return window or let a warranty expire unused. Photograph a receipt, and Clockwork reads the merchant, price, and date on-device — you confirm the details, pick a deadline, and it's tracked from there. KEY FEATURES • Receipt scanning — on-device text recognition pulls merchant, price, and date straight off the photo • Return window & warranty tracking — built-in presets for common retailers (Amazon, Target, Costco) or set your own date • Deadline reminders — a local notification ahead of each item's deadline, timed per item • Vault view — active items sorted by what's expiring soonest, with search and category filters • History — returned and archived items kept separate from what still needs attention • Notes per item — serial numbers, warranty terms, who to call • Manual backup & restore — export your vault to a file anytime, on your terms PRIVACY, ACTUALLY Clockwork has no backend and no analytics.
