PAO Tracker: Cosmetics Expiry

When did you open that mascara? Pick a category, enter the opening date, and the expiry is calculated from the PAO — with reminders before it's due.

PAO Tracker answers the question every makeup bag hides: "When did I open this?"

■ Just enter the opening date Cosmetics have a period after opening (PAO) — the "6M" or "12M" mark printed on the container. Pick a category and the standard PAO fills in automatically; enter the opening date and the expiry is calculated for you. No manual date math.

■ Category presets Mascara & liquid liner (3 months), liquid foundation & concealer (6), powders (12), lip products (12), skincare (6), sunscreen (12), fragrance (24). Adjust freely when the product label says otherwise, or switch to entering a printed expiry date directly for unopened items.

■ Color-coded list and reminders Items are grouped by urgency: expired, within 7 days, within 30 days, and later. Local notifications arrive at 9:00 AM as dates approach (by default on the date and seven days before).

■ No ads, fully local No ads, no account, no server. All data stays on your device with no item limit, so the app always opens and your records never disappear.

■ Premium (one-time purchase) Stats (usage rate and monthly finished/tossed summaries), custom reminder timing, and CSV export. One-time purchase — no subscription.

Dates are guidance only. If the color, smell, or texture changes, consider retiring the product even before its date.
