Trial protection

Set a free trial reminder before it renews

Track trials, add reminder dates, and export calendar reminders before the first paid renewal sneaks through.

Quick take

The safest trial workflow is simple: save the service, set the renewal date, and trigger a reminder at least three days before it converts.

The billing platform is easiest to remember while the cancellation screen is still open.

Saving the service immediately gives you a renewal date, reminder, and cleaner next step the next time it comes up.

Save the service as a trial in your vault.

Add the renewal or conversion date as soon as you see it.

Create the reminder so the review date lands before the charge does.

Save the cancellation path or login URL while it is easy to find.

Export the reminder to your calendar if you want the extra backup.

A reminder is only useful if the billing platform and login path are easy to find later.

Three days before renewal is a solid default, but a trial with a confusing billing flow may deserve more time.

Screenshot import works well when the free-trial date is visible in the app store or checkout screen.

What if I do not know the exact trial end date?

Start with the best date you have, then update it as soon as the receipt or account screen confirms the exact renewal timing.

Why add the cancellation path now?

Because trials are easiest to cancel when the path is still obvious. Renewal day is the worst time to start hunting for it.
