About Renewsy

Renewsy is a document expiry tracker for iPhone, aimed at immigrants, expats, families, students and frequent travelers.

The app sets reminders at one year, six months, 90 days, 30 days, seven days and on the day, with custom schedules and local notifications that work offline.

Travel-ready checks take a destination and dates and verify passport validity rules such as the Schengen three-month and six-month rules, visa coverage and travel insurance. A Family Vault shares documents with up to five members, receipt and cost tracking logs renewal fees and exports CSV, and privacy features include a biometric lock and an encrypted vault. The app is available in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish, and tracking up to five documents is free.
