Coming Soon
Never miss another renewal.
Every permit, every license, every certification — tracked in one place, with alerts long before anything expires. Because "I forgot" isn't a defense when your county inspector shows up.
The Problem
Compliance doesn't forgive a missed deadline.
Cottage food sellers juggle permits from multiple agencies — state, county, city, health, tax. Each one renews on its own calendar. Miss one, and you could be selling illegally without knowing it.
Different renewal cycles
Your cottage food permit might renew annually. Your food handler card every 3 years. Your sales tax registration quarterly. Your business license on a fiscal-year schedule. No two are the same.
Notifications get lost
State agencies send renewal reminders to whatever email you gave them five years ago. Spam filters eat them. Inboxes bury them. You find out when a buyer asks why your permit expired.
The cost of missing one
Selling with an expired permit can trigger fines, forced pause, and in some states, permanent loss of cottage food privileges. At minimum, you stop selling until it's reinstated — that's lost income.

Drag to fast-forward time — watch the renewal status update automatically.
In the real tool, you'll get email alerts 60, 30, and 7 days before any permit expires — plus links to the exact renewal portal for your state. No more hunting through bookmarks or calling agencies.
Status System
Three clear states. No ambiguity.
Every tracked permit shows one of three statuses, so you always know exactly where you stand.
More than 60 days until expiration. You're in good standing — keep selling.
60 days or less until expiration. Start the renewal process now — don't wait.
Past the expiration date. You may not be legally permitted to sell — stop and renew immediately.
Inside the tool
How it works
Set it up once. Get alerts forever.
Add your permits
Enter each permit, license, or certification you hold — name, issuing agency, permit number, expiration date. Takes about two minutes per entry.
Set your alert preferences
Choose when you want to be reminded — 90, 60, 30, 7 days, or all of the above. Email, SMS, or both. Quiet hours and weekend preferences supported.
Renew with one click
When a reminder fires, it links directly to your state's renewal portal. No searching, no phone trees. Mark it renewed in the tracker and the next cycle starts automatically.
