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.
Certemy is an enterprise license and credential tracking platform built for large organisations managing many employees' professional licences. 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.
