Never let a renewal lapse again
Tracks renewal dates for any business licence or permit, with reminders before they lapse - any industry, not gated to trade certifications. See everything due on a live countdown timeline, colour-banded by urgency, or flip to a full month calendar to see what's coming up.
The countdown timeline and the month calendar view, side by side.
The countdown timeline - most urgent renewals first
A real month calendar, with renewals marked on their day
Every licence is plotted on a vertical line by days-until-expiry, colour-banded by urgency - expired, due within 30 days, due within 90 days, or on track - so the most urgent renewals are always the first thing you see.
Flip to the Calendar tab for a full month grid with every renewal date marked on its day cell - click a marked date to jump straight to that licence's details.
Four counts at the top of the screen - expired, due within 30 days, due within 90 days, on track - so you always know your overall renewal picture without scrolling.
Six categories cover insurance, certifications, licences, permits, memberships and anything else - not gated to construction or any single trade.
Set "remind me" in days before the renewal date on each licence individually - give slower-to-arrange items like insurance more lead time than a quick permit renewal.
Log the renewal cost alongside each licence so you can see what's coming up financially as well as when it's due.
Click a licence anywhere - on the timeline or the calendar - to open it straight into an edit form, update the details, or remove it entirely.
A light/dark toggle that remembers your choice, and "Load sample" fills in a realistic set of licences spread across every urgency band to explore the app.

It's a heavier, workforce- compliance tool - here's how a focused, one-off desktop tracker compares for a smaller business that just needs its own licences, permits and memberships tracked well.
