Wardio quietly keeps watch over the dates that matter: passports, insurance policies, car inspections, subscriptions, contracts. It tells you exactly when to act, not a day too early or too late. WHY WARDIO Missing a renewal costs money. Missing a passport expiry ruins a trip. Wardio exists so that doesn't happen to you. HOW IT WORKS • Add a date by hand, or scan the document and let Wardio read it for you • Every item gets a reminder schedule tuned to what it is: a 30-day cancellation notice for a gym membership, an early heads-up before a passport expires • See what needs your attention first, right on the home screen • Tap Renewed to roll an item forward, or archive it once it's handled • Use Wardio in English, Dutch or German YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything Wardio tracks lives on your phone. When you scan a document, the photo is sent once to read the date, then it's gone, never stored. No account, no cloud sync, no analytics, no ads. Export your items to a file anytime if you're switching phones. WARDIO PREMIUM Track up to 5 things for free. Premium removes the limit: one flat subscription, cancel anytime. Wardio reminds you about the dates you gave it; it isn't legal or financial advice. Always confirm critical deadlines on the original document.
