People don't know how long to keep tax records, warranties, or medical documents, so they either hoard or shred wrong.
Specific US retention timelines per document type tell you exactly what to keep and for how long, instead of hoarding everything or shredding the wrong thing.
Backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it is not useful, we will refund it, no questions asked.
People don't know how long to keep tax records, warranties, or medical documents, so they either hoard or shred wrong.
Gives specific US retention timelines per document type, not just a generic 'keep important papers' note.
We built this after seeing how often 'keep important papers' advice leaves people either hoarding everything or shredding something they needed.

Real US retention windows per document type, not a generic 'keep important papers.'
Includes the 7-year rule for bad debt and worthless securities, not just the standard 3-year window.
Names exactly which documents are irreplaceable, so nothing critical gets shredded by mistake.
Is this US-specific?
Yes, retention timelines follow US guidance, including IRS audit windows and standard warranty practices.
What if I have digital copies?
The same retention timelines apply; digital storage just changes where you keep it, not how long.
Does this cover business records too?
No, this is built for personal document retention, not business or tax filing requirements.
