What Warrantyfy is

A free tool for keeping track of product warranties, purchase records and receipts — built because the problem it solves is boring, universal, and quietly expensive.

The problem

Look around one room and count the things that came with a warranty. A television, a fridge, a washing machine, a microwave, a laptop, a couple of phones, a vacuum, a router, an air conditioner. Each arrived with cover running anywhere from six months to ten years. Each came with a receipt that is now in a drawer, in an inbox, or gone.

Holding all of that in your head is not a discipline problem. It is genuinely impossible. So the same thing happens to almost everyone: something breaks, you are fairly sure it is still covered, you cannot prove when you bought it, and you pay for a repair you had already paid to avoid.

What this does

You enter what you bought and when, and how long the warranty runs. Warrantyfy works out the end date — correctly, including the day most manual calculations get wrong — and keeps recalculating the status every day. Attach a photograph of the bill and the proof lives beside the date instead of in a different place entirely.

From there you get a dashboard of what is covered and what is not, a calendar of what runs out when, search that finds a product by its serial number or the shop you bought it from, and reminders you can export into whatever calendar you already check.

What it deliberately is not

Warrantyfy does not sell extended warranties, protection plans or insurance. It does not take a commission on them, and it is not an intermediary for anyone who does. There is no policy here, no claim to file with us, and nothing that can be rejected.

This is a deliberate position rather than a gap in the roadmap. Most of this category sells you a second product — cover on top of the cover you already have — and the complaints that follow are consistent and predictable: claims refused on terms nobody read, charges nobody expected, exclusions that only surface when you need them not to.

The manufacturer's warranty you already own is usually the cover you needed. It just expires quietly while the paperwork goes missing. Fixing that is a records problem, and that is the only problem this site tries to solve.

Why your records never leave your device

Your products, prices and receipt images are stored by your browser, on your device. They are not uploaded, and we hold no copy of them.

That has three consequences worth stating plainly:

• Nobody here can see your records. Not "we promise not to look" — there is no copy to look at.
• There is nothing to be locked out of. The tracker does not sit behind a password, and no subscription can lapse and take your records with it.
• The records live on one device. This is the real trade-off. Clearing your browser's site data, or moving to a new phone, takes them with it. The backup export exists for exactly this, and it is worth using.

We think that trade is worth making for a tool that holds your purchase history and your receipts, and we would rather say so clearly than bury it.

The optional account

There is an account you can create, and it is deliberately narrow. It stores your name, email address and phone number — nothing else. We use them to reach you about a purchase or an unlock code.

It does not store your products, your receipts, your prices or your photographs, and it is not a backup. Signing in on a new phone will not bring your records across; only your own export file does that. Everything on this site works without an account, and if you never create one, nothing is withheld from you.

You can delete it whenever you like, from the account page, and your name, email and phone number go with it.

How it is paid for

Two ways, both stated openly:

• Advertising. The site carries ads, served by a third-party ad network. How that works and what it means for your privacy is set out in the privacy policy.
• An optional report. A complete warranty report, built from your own records, for people who need a formatted document to hand to a service centre, an insurer or an accountant. One-off, not a subscription. The tracker itself is complete without it.

What this does not include: selling your data, which there is no mechanism to do; affiliate commission on protection plans, which would compromise the guides; or a free tier designed to become unusable until you pay. There is no product cap, no trial period and no feature that stops working.

Where the guides come from

The guides exist because most warranty advice online is written by people selling cover, and reads that way. They cover the mechanics instead: how the dates are counted, what you already have, what a service centre will actually ask you for, and what to do when the proof has faded.

They are general information, not legal advice. Consumer law varies considerably between countries, and the document that came with your product always takes precedence over anything written here.

What is coming

The current focus is doing one thing properly: warranty and purchase records, the dates that go with them, and the proof that makes them usable. Anything added has to pass a simple test — does it make the core job more reliable, or is it a different product wearing this one's clothes?

If there is something you keep wanting it to do, say so. That is how the useful parts of this got built.
