What it does

A quiet list of dates that
speaks up before they matter.

Ten categories, from the passport in your drawer to the domain renewal you forgot you owned. Type a title and Runs Out guesses the category for you.

🛂

Documents that take months

Passports, visas, driving licences and residence permits. These are the ones where finding out late costs you a trip. Runs Out can also count down to the date a passport actually stops being accepted, which is often months before the date printed on it.

🧾

Warranties worth claiming

Keep the receipt with the item. Photograph it, or scan it with the document scanner, and the proof is there when you need it.

🔁

Things that renew

Insurance, inspections, subscriptions and domains. Mark them as repeating and they roll forward the moment they lapse.

Reminders

It knows the difference between
a passport and a warranty.

Renewing a passport takes months. Claiming a warranty takes an afternoon. They should not warn you at the same time, so they don't. Every category arrives with its own schedule, and you can override any of it.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the app and start adding things. There is no sign-up, no email, no password.

Where is my data kept?

Items, photos and PDF attachments are stored on your device and can sync through your own private iCloud database.

Shared snapshots use AES-GCM encryption with a key derived from the code. Anyone who has the code can decrypt the shared item. The public CloudKit database holds encrypted snapshots. Expiry and version metadata, acceptance timestamps and opaque record creator identifiers are not encrypted. Codes expire after 14 days, or stop allowing new acceptances when the chosen recipient limit is reached.

How do the reminders work?

Every category has its own schedule. A passport starts warning you 270 days out because renewing one takes months; a warranty waits until 30 days out because claiming one takes an afternoon. You can set your own schedule on any item with Pro.

Reminders are local notifications, created and delivered on your device at the time you choose.

What happens after five items?

Nothing you already added stops working. The sixth item asks you to unlock Pro, which is a single purchase, not a subscription.

Does it read my receipts automatically?

Yes. With Pro, scan a document or attach a PDF to get expiry date suggestions. Review the date and its source before applying it, or enter it yourself if no date is found. Date recognition runs on your device. Saved attachments can sync through your private iCloud account; they are not included when you share an item.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Pro exports everything to CSV (every field, ready for a spreadsheet) and a tidy PDF summary you can print or share.

Does it work offline?

Local items and reminders work offline. iCloud sync, creating or accepting shares and checking shared updates need a connection.

Can I send an item to someone?

With Pro, send a link, QR or twelve-character code so someone can add their own copy of one item in Runs Out. Shared snapshots use AES-GCM encryption with a key derived from the code. Anyone who has the code can decrypt the shared item. Photos and PDFs are never included. Neither is the reference, serial or policy number, unless you switch that on before creating the code. Codes expire after 14 days, or stop allowing new acceptances when the chosen recipient limit is reached. Stop sharing queues deletion of the shared snapshot. Offline or failed deletion is retried when the app can connect. The code may remain usable until deletion succeeds. Recipients keep copies they already saved. The owner can publish updated details. When the app checks, recipients can choose an update or enable automatic updates. Updates are not guaranteed to arrive instantly.
