Catch return windows, warranty expirations, free trials and subscription renewals before they cost you. Chronaya keeps each important date together with its reminders, receipt, notes and next step, on your device and without an account. A calendar can remind you of a date. Chronaya also keeps what you need to act on it: the receipt for a return, the invoice for a warranty claim, the price of a renewal, or the link to manage a free trial. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Return windows: the last day to return an online or in-store purchase • Warranties: the warranty expiration date, with the receipt or invoice • Subscriptions and free trials: a reminder before a renewal or before a trial turns into a charge • Memberships and recurring payments: weekly, monthly or yearly • Documents: passport, ID card, driver's license, visa and permit expiry dates • Insurance: car, home, health and travel policy renewals • Vehicles: registration, inspection and insurance dates • Any other personal or household deadline REMINDERS THAT FIT THE DEADLINE • Get reminded on the day, or from 1 day up to 1 year before • Start with sensible defaults for each type, such as 7 days and 1 day before a return deadline, or 30 days and 7 days before a document expires • Choose the time of day your reminders arrive • Mark a subscription payment as completed and the record moves to the next renewal date • Reminders are scheduled on your device and work offline SEE WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION • Dates are grouped into Overdue, Today, Next 7 Days, Next 30 Days and Later • Each type of record suggests a useful next step, such as checking the saved receipt before a return • Search titles, notes and attachment names, or filter by category RECEIPTS AND DOCUMENTS IN THE SAME PLACE • Take a photo of a receipt, or add images and PDFs from your photos and files • Preview supported attachments inside the record • Save the price, store, order or serial number, and your own notes • Tap links and phone numbers saved in your notes When a reminder arrives, the date and the proof you need are already together. SEE WHAT YOU AVOIDED PAYING When you confirm that you canceled a subscription before it renewed, Chronaya adds that payment to your yearly savings summary. Only renewals you mark as canceled are counted. Chronaya never estimates savings for you. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE BY DESIGN • No account or sign-up • Records and attachments are stored on your device • No Chronaya cloud account; your records and attachments are not uploaded automatically • No ads • Back up your records and attachments to a single file and restore them later Internet access may be needed for app updates, App Store purchases and opening saved links. Reminder delivery depends on your notification settings. FREE AND LIFETIME PRO Chronaya Free includes up to 5 active records, 1 attachment per record and 2 reminders per record. Archived records do not count toward the limit. Lifetime Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase, not a subscription. It removes these limits and lets you choose a separate reminder time for each record. Backup and restore, offline use, the savings summary and the ad-free experience are included for everyone. ALSO INCLUDED • Light and dark themes, including a true black dark mode • English and Turkish • Your choice of currency and date format Chronaya is for the dates that can cost you money, time or access when they slip by.

About

Relay GTD

Features
Read full description

Relay is a complete task, project and goal management app built for Getting Things Done. CAPTURE ANYTHING, ANYWHERE Type it into the app, share to Relay from any app's share sheet on iPhone and iPad, press Control+Option+N on a Mac to capture over whatever you are working in, or forward an email to your own private Relay address. Everything lands in the Inbox and waits there until you decide what it is. CLARIFY, THEN ENGAGE A short step-through turns each item into a next action, a project with a defined outcome, something you are waiting on, a Someday/Maybe item, reference, or something to drop. Engage then shows what you can do now, filtered by where you are, how much time you have, and whether you have the energy for it. GUIDED REVIEWS The weekly review is where most systems quietly fail, because it depends on remembering to check everything. Relay turns it into a wizard that walks you through clearing the Inbox, updating each project and checking your higher horizons, one step at a time. Trigger lists run you through the ordinary categories people skip, so open loops surface instead of staying in your head, and a five-minute daily review shapes each day. HORIZONS, NOT JUST A LIST Relay models the altitudes above the ground floor: the areas you are responsible for, the goals you are working towards, and the vision and purpose above them. A next action belongs to its project, and the project can link up to the goal or area it serves, so you can see what a piece of work is for and notice when a whole area has gone quiet. SHARED WORKSPACES A shared workspace is for a family, a couple or a small team: up to ten people, each with a Relay account of their own, invited with a link or by email. Delegate a task to someone: it lands in their Inbox and waits in your Waiting For. Each shared workspace has its own Agenda and a shared review. Comments on any item keep the discussion with the task. WIDGETS On iPhone and iPad, put a Relay list such as Inbox, Next Actions or your Soft Landscape on the Home Screen, tick something off without opening the app, or tap to capture. On a Mac, add a widget for Inbox, Next Actions, Soft Landscape, Scheduled, Waiting For or Projects. Widgets need iOS 17 or macOS 14. WORKS WITH THE APPS YOU ALREADY HAVE Apple Calendar, Apple Reminders, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, Todoist, Notion and Linear. Your calendar sits beside today's actions, and tasks you keep elsewhere come across without being retyped, into your Inbox first. ON EVERY DEVICE Relay runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, on Windows and on the web, on one account. Sign in with Google to use one account on every device; Sign in with Apple works everywhere except the Windows app. AI THAT WAITS TO BE ASKED Ask and it helps you clarify. It questions a vague capture, says when something you wrote as a task is really a project, and holds a project's "done when" to a standard someone else could check. It never writes your next actions for you, never rewrites your words, and reads nothing unless you ask. SUBSCRIPTION Relay is a paid product, and every account gets the whole app. New accounts get 30 days free, with no card needed, starting when you choose. After that, pay monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel yours on iPhone or iPad in Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions; on a Mac, in the App Store app, under your account.
