Annual obligations are the easiest recurring tasks to forget

They happen too infrequently to become habit, yet often require a decision before the deadline.

Collect annual obligations across categories

Insurance, memberships, vehicle/property-related renewals where applicable, software, service plans, registrations and annual professional services can all appear on the calendar.

Use review dates and due dates

The date you want to decide may be weeks before the actual renewal. Store both where useful.

Avoid country-specific automatic rules in v1

Legal registration and inspection deadlines vary. Let users enter the real dates from their official documents.

Review once per year

An annual calendar itself needs maintenance. Remove cancelled services and add new obligations.

Contextual CTA: Use your email search and last year’s calendar to find annual obligations, then create one consolidated timeline.
