Never let a document expire again.
Passports, insurance, energy bills, gym memberships. If it expires, it belongs here. Add it once. We’ll remind you before it’s a problem.

Renewals don’t care how busy you are.
Oops, your car insurance ran out
It ended weeks ago. No one sent you a big red alert. So now you’re driving and quietly hoping nothing happens.
Your passport was “fine.” The airline disagreed.
You had months left on the calendar. They had a rule you didn’t know about. Suddenly your holiday plan wobbles.
Card declined. Queue behind you. Fun.
The new card is still in the mail. The old one picked today to retire. The beep at the till is louder than it should be.
Another bill email. Another “I’ll do it later.”
The PDFs stack up. You meant to pay or switch on time. Then the deadline waved as it drove past.
You cancelled the gym. Your bank didn’t get the memo.
You swore you clicked unsubscribe. The money still leaves every month. Like a ghost membership.
Travel insurance: great until the date’s wrong
It feels fine until you need it. If the end date already passed, it’s just a PDF with good intentions.
PaperTrail exists for exactly that gap. Add the document once. It lives here. We watch the dates, remind you before things get urgent, and help you sort it when the time comes.
Three steps. Less last-minute panic.
Get it into PaperTrail
Snap a photo, forward a bill or supplier email to The Drop, or import a CSV if you’re migrating a list.
Glance, tweak, confirm
We pull out the expiry, type, and issuer. You sanity-check it and tap done. No retyping walls of text.
When it’s time, we walk you through it
Pick email, push, or calendar for your reminders. Need to actually renew? Tell us and we’ll suggest the steps: forms, appointments, payment, pickup. Edit them to fit, tick through as you go.
Same documents. None of the chasing.
IDs, insurance, household bills, contract dates: one place to see what’s due and what to do about it, before it costs you.
Scan, don’t retype
Point the camera at a card or page. We read the dates and labels so you’re not doing data entry at midnight.
Open the app, see what matters
A short recap on your dashboard (what’s fine, what’s coming up, what’s overdue) without digging through folders.
Share without the group chat
Send a time-limited link when someone needs the file. Add a password or a watermark when you want extra care. No more WhatsApp chains or emailing yourself a scan.
Renewals with more than one step
Passport-style workflows: appointments, forms, pickup. Lay them out, reorder them, and tick through as you go.
Dark mode
Easy on the eyes when you’re checking dates after hours.
If it expires, it fits
Passport, visa, insurance, license, permits, cards, plus household bills, energy, broadband, yearly contracts. If there’s a date, it belongs here.
The Drop
Forward supplier PDFs, renewal letters, and “your contract is ending” emails to your private address. We stage what we found; you confirm and we’ll remind you.
Calendar sync
Push expiry dates to Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar so renewals show up where you already live.
History you can trust
See what changed, what you renewed, and what happened. Handy when someone asks “when did we last…?”
Passports to energy bills. If it expires, it counts.
Most of them live in your inbox, a drawer, or a photo you can't find. Now they have one place.
