Snap your passport and the expiry date appears in seconds, read right on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, nothing to set up. Kounts Due keeps every expiry date and renewal in one calm place, so a lapsed passport, insurance policy or subscription never catches you out. SCAN IT, DON'T TYPE IT Point your iPhone at a passport, policy, warranty or renewal letter. Kounts Due reads the text on your device and suggests the expiry date, showing you where it found it. You check it before anything is saved. You can also bring documents in from Photos, Files, pasted text, or the share sheet in Mail and other apps. REMINDERS THAT START EARLY ENOUGH Renewals take time, so each item has its own lead time. Kounts Due tells you when to start, not just when it runs out. Choose how many days before to be reminded, and get gentle follow-ups if something goes overdue. SEE WHAT'S NEXT AT A GLANCE A clear dashboard shows what needs action, which charges are coming and which cover is ending. Tap a category at the top to see only those. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep the next deadline in view, and a Live Activity can put it in the Dynamic Island. EVERY KIND, ITS OWN WAY Passports and licences expire, policies renew, subscriptions charge you, warranties end and check-ups come round again. Each kind gets the right dates, wording and reminders. Track repeat cycles, automatic renewals, costs, who pays and links, and make your own categories in any color. RENEW WITHOUT LOSING HISTORY Mark an item renewed or done and the next date is set for you. Automatic renewals move on by themselves, and the history keeps every step. KOUNTS DUE PRO Scanning, reminders, widgets and backup are free. Pro adds household sharing, a renewal cost summary, warranty claim packs, a synced Kounts Due calendar, unlimited custom categories, Controls and interactive widgets, and alternate app icons. Pro is available as a yearly subscription with a one-week free trial, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase (for the yearly plan, when the free trial ends). The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://kounts.app/privacy PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Documents are read on your device, and Apple Intelligence helps find dates where your iPhone supports it. Your items stay on your iPhone unless you turn on optional iCloud sync, which uses your own iCloud account. Export a backup any time, or delete everything with one tap. Kounts Due is a tool to help you remember. Always confirm important dates with the issuer of the document.
