Fristwart Coming to the App Store
Contract deadlines for iPhone — Fristwart works backwards from the termination date and tells you the day the letter has to go out. Postal transit, weekends and cantonal holidays deducted.
Why a day earlier matters
Most apps remind you of the termination date. In Switzerland the cancellation must ARRIVE by then — not be sent.
- Contract end
- Termination date
- Notice period
- Working day
- Postal transit + buffer
- Post by this day
Rounding always goes backwards, never forwards. A day early is harmless; a day late costs another contract year.
What it looks like

What it does
Deadlines
- Posting date per contract, with a traffic light
- Fixed dates too, like health insurance by 30 November
- Reminders well ahead, on your own schedule
Getting contracts in
- Scan a policy or open a PDF — the fields are read out
- Around 55 templates with the usual Swiss terms
- Nothing is guessed: you confirm every field
Cancelling
- A finished letter as PDF, ready to print
- Or as a pre-filled mail — you send it yourself
- Follow-up reminder if no confirmation arrives
Household and costs
- One person or a shared household, contracts per person
- Fixed costs per year, per month and per category
- Which month carries the peak, and what costs most
Your data, your control
What you record belongs to you, and you can get all of it out at any time. A backup writes every household, contract, document and deadline into a single file — encrypted with your own password if you want. On import you decide whether it is added or replaces what is there. There is also a CSV export for your spreadsheet and a one-page PDF overview for whoever needs to know what is running. No account, no cloud, no lock-in: changing device means importing the backup and carrying on.
Requirements and permissions
iPhone, iOS 26 or later, portrait. The app is in German and tailored to Switzerland.
| For what | Permission |
|---|---|
| Scanning a contract | Camera — optional; PDFs and typing work without it |
| Being reminded in time | Notifications — optional; the deadlines are calculated either way |
| Reading a contract | None — text recognition runs on the device |
Privacy
The app collects nothing and contacts no server. Contracts, documents and deadlines stay in the app's protected storage on the device; a backup or a letter leaves it only when you share it yourself. Full text: privacy policy.
Good to know
Fristwart calculates with the deadlines that are customary in Switzerland. The figures are guidance and no substitute for legal advice — your own contract is what counts.
