Appointment Keeper (Free Gateway)

The problem

Renewal dates are scattered across emails, physical drawers, and apps. Most people track when things expire, but they forget that the actual work starts weeks or months before the deadline.

What it does

• Sweeps documents, vehicle registrations, home contracts, and memberships for upcoming expirations.
• Calculates "Act-by" dates by subtracting the necessary lead time from the expiry date.
• Identifies "long-lead traps" where an item expires outside the 90-day window but requires action now.
• Generates a prioritized table sorted by urgency of action rather than the expiration date itself.
• Produces a physical sweep checklist if you do not have your dates ready to hand.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Standard prompts usually just list dates. This skill understands the delta between an expiration and the time required to renew, preventing "too late to start" scenarios for complex documents like passports.

Use cases

• Audit all personal identity and vehicle documents for the upcoming quarter.
• Identify home service contracts and insurance policies nearing their renewal window.
• Manage professional certifications and memberships that require continuing education.
• Track product warranties before they lapse to verify hardware health.

Known limitations

Cannot perform renewals or submit forms. Relies on user-provided dates or physical document reviews rather than direct database integrations.
