Documents with deadlines, watched
Personal documents that need attention or renewal, flagged before they expire
- Runs while your laptop is closed
- Reports in Littlebird and by email
- Free plan includes 5 routines
Three documents need attention, and the car insurance renewal comes first.
- Car insurance: the policy renews on November 18, and the renewal notice asks you to confirm your mileage.
- Lease: your landlord needs your renewal decision by November 30, two months before the lease ends.
- Passport: it expires on January 20. Renewals can take several weeks, so this month is a good time to start.
The problem
Passports, licenses, insurance, leases: the documents that run your life all have dates, and the dates all arrive silently. The renewal notice goes to the junk drawer and the expiry goes to the airport.
Nobody has a system for this. Everybody has a story about the expired document discovered at the worst possible moment.
What it does
This routine tracks your personal documents and flags the ones needing action: renewals approaching, forms outstanding, deadlines near.
The passport gets renewed in a calm month instead of a panic week. The drawer of important papers becomes a list with dates.
Try the prompt
Copy it into a new Littlebird routine, then set the days and times that fit your schedule
- Open Littlebird and go to Routines. Open the menu next to New Routine and choose Set up manually.
- Paste the prompt into Instructions, then set the days and time under Run.
- Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. You can pause or edit it anytime. Auto-pause is on by default and pauses it if reports go unread.
You can also choose Create with Littlebird and describe the routine in chat.
Every month flag personal documents that need my attention: renewals contracts or deadlines
Why make it a routine?
You can fake this with a chat skill and enough copy-paste. Most people keep it up for a week, then stop, because the copy-paste is the actual job.
A routine removes the choreography: the context is already there, the schedule is already set, and the output shows up where you need it.
And it is private by design: SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA aligned, and your data is never sold.
Frequently asked questions
How does it know the dates?
From the dates you note in the prompt and the documents in your context. Set it once; it watches from there.
What documents can it track?
Anything with a date: passport, license, insurance, lease, certifications, warranty expirations.
How early does it warn?
You set the lead time in the prompt. Thirty days is a good default for most renewals.

Basic is free and includes routines. Plus is $17 a month billed annually or $20 month to month after a 14-day free trial, Pro starts at $100 a month, Team starts at $17 a seat, and Plus for students is $15 a month.
