Expiry Manager
Never forget another renewal.
Expiry Manager helps you track anything that expires, renews, or needs periodic attention directly inside your Obsidian vault.
Whether it's a domain, passport, subscription, SSL certificate, phone recharge, warranty, or API key, Expiry Manager keeps everything in one place with reminders, progress tracking, and renewal history.
All data is stored as plain Markdown notes with YAML frontmatter. Your data remains yours forever.
