About this app

Expiry Manager is a timing system for important dates. Photograph a document and Smart Scan finds the expiry; set when you want to be warned; then forget about it until it is time to act.

Key features

  • 1Smart Scan: photograph a document and OCR extracts the expiry date for you to confirm before saving.
  • 2Configurable reminder timing: set when you want to be warned (e.g. 90 days out) per item, up to 4 plans on paid tiers.
  • 3Shared workspaces for families and teams with roles (Owner, Editor, Viewer) and private items kept private.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

Expiry Manager is a timing system for dates that carry consequences — passports, licences, insurance, certifications, warranties, and subscriptions. You photograph a document, Smart Scan finds the expiry, you set when you want to be warned, and then you forget about it. The marketing site is clean and fast (Lighthouse 98 mobile / 100 desktop), the security headers are a perfect 12/12, and the pricing is refreshingly honest: Free with 12 items and 5 scans a month, Premium at $4/mo for unlimited everything, Teams at $6/mo for up to five members. The gaps are verification and depth: no public docs, no live demo, no SOC 2, no accessibility statement, and no independent reviews found. It's a competent, well-positioned indie tool that hasn't yet proven it's more than a prettier calendar.

Measure by measure

Usability

63

Clear three-tier pricing with a comparison table and 'which plan is for me' guidance. Onboarding promise is scan-once. No public docs, help center, or live demo found.

Design

72

Clean, modern marketing site with consistent branding and clear hero messaging. Product UI is shown only through mockups, so real app polish is unverified. Solid but not distinctive.

Speed

88

Lighthouse mobile 98/100, desktop 100/100. LCP 2.5s, CLS 0, TBT 16ms, FCP 902ms. Genuinely fast marketing site with no reported lag complaints.

Security

74

Full 12/12 HTTP security checklist: HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, frame protection, SPF, DMARC. Claims RLS, encrypted details, and access-controlled uploads. No SOC 2 or independent audit found.

Accessibility

80

Lighthouse accessibility 96/100. One failing audit: insufficient color contrast. No WCAG statement or multi-language support found in site content.

Growth

58

Real recurring problem, specific wedge (Smart Scan OCR + configurable reminders), aggressive $4/mo pricing. No alternatives listed to compare against, so differentiation is asserted, not proven.

Improvement areas

  • No public documentation, help center, or live demo — buyers can't evaluate the product before signing up.
  • Security claims (RLS, encryption, access-controlled uploads) are self-published with no SOC 2, ISO, or pen-test evidence.
  • No accessibility statement or WCAG conformance claim, and Lighthouse flags a color contrast failure.

Design & Usability

Expiry Manager's marketing site is polished and consistent — dark hero, clear 'Know before it expires' positioning, and a Smart Scan mockup that shows the core value in one glance. The pricing page is unusually honest, with a comparison table and a 'which plan is for me' section that actually helps. The weakness is that everything you see is a render: there's no live demo, no screenshots of the real dashboard, and no public help center or docs. Support is tiered as Community / Email 48h / Priority 24h, which is thin for a product asking people to trust it with passports and insurance documents. The onboarding promise — scan once, confirm, forget — is genuinely good if it works, but the site gives you no way to verify it before signing up.

Speed & Security

Speed is the standout: Lighthouse mobile 98/100 and desktop 100/100, with LCP 2.5s, CLS 0, TBT 16ms, and FCP 902ms. That's a genuinely fast marketing site, and there are no user complaints about lag. Security is solid on the transport layer — the HTTP probe returned a perfect 12/12: HTTPS enforced, HSTS, CSP, frame protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, SPF, and DMARC all present. The site claims row-level security on every user-facing table, encrypted sensitive details, access-controlled uploads, and that files aren't retained after confirmation. What's missing is independent verification: no SOC 2, no ISO 27001, no pen-test summary, no bug bounty. For a product handling passports and compliance filings, self-published security claims are a starting point, not a finish line.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility scores 96/100 on Lighthouse, with a single failing audit for insufficient color contrast — a fixable issue, not a structural one. There's no WCAG conformance statement, no accessibility page, and no multi-language support mentioned, which limits the product's reach beyond English-speaking markets. On growth: the problem is real and recurring — passports, insurance, certifications, and subscriptions all expire, and missing them is expensive. The wedge is Smart Scan, which photographs a document and extracts the expiry date, plus configurable reminder timing. That's a genuine differentiator against a plain calendar. The pricing is aggressive at $4/mo Premium and $6/mo Teams. The honest limit is that the alternatives list is empty, so there's no evidence the product beats anything specific — and free calendar reminders are a very strong default.

Conclusion

If you've ever renewed a passport in a panic or let a warranty lapse because you forgot the date, Expiry Manager is aimed squarely at you, and the $4/mo Premium tier is cheap enough to try without much thought. The free plan is genuinely useful — 12 items and 5 scans a month covers a lot of personal documents. What it hasn't earned yet is blind trust with sensitive data: the security claims are self-published, there's no audit, and there's no documentation to read before you commit. Start on Free, put one real document in it, and see whether the reminder actually lands before you hand over a passport scan and a credit card.

Suggestions for improvement

  • Publish a help center or docs site — right now the only support path is a Community tier or a 48-hour email queue.
  • Add a live demo or interactive product tour so buyers can see the real dashboard, not just marketing mockups.
  • Pursue at least a SOC 2 Type I or a third-party pen-test summary — self-published RLS and encryption claims won't satisfy business buyers.
  • Fix the color contrast failure flagged by Lighthouse and publish a WCAG conformance statement to widen accessibility.
