Findings
The fixed rules that raise findings in StackHangar, which group each one appears in, and how Home ranks them.
Findings are decided by fixed rules, not by AI. The rules run on your device against your decrypted vault, so the same data always gives the same findings. This page lists every rule and where its finding appears.
StackHangar doesn't give findings a separate severity label. How urgent a finding is comes from the group it is in, and Home shows the groups in this order.
| Group | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Expired | The date has passed. |
| Next 7 days | Due within a week. |
| Next 30 days | Due in 8 to 30 days. |
| Provider changes | The provider is retiring something you use. |
| Hygiene | Nothing is broken, but a habit or setting is worth fixing. |
#How Home ranks findings
Findings are sorted by group first. Within a group:
- Things that stop working (an expiry or a lapse) come before rotation reminders for something that still works.
- Production items, and domains, certificates and memberships, come before the rest.
- Sooner dates come before later ones.
Each finding on Home shows the reason, for example "Expires in 5 days · production". Item findings come before plan findings and business findings when they tie.
#Item findings
These apply to the items in your vault.
| Finding | When it is raised | Group |
|---|---|---|
| Expired | An item with an expiry date (a key, login, certificate) is past that date. | Expired |
| Lapsed | A subscription, domain or membership is past its renewal date. | Expired |
| Rotation overdue | A Rotate every reminder is past due. | Expired |
| Expires soon | An expiry date is 0 to 30 days away. | Next 7 days or Next 30 days |
| Renews soon | A domain or membership renewal is 0 to 30 days away. | Next 7 days or Next 30 days |
| Rotation due | A Rotate every reminder is 0 to 30 days away. | Next 7 days or Next 30 days |
| Provider changes | A catalog note says the provider is retiring the key format. Today this covers legacy Supabase keys. | Provider changes |
| No reminder set | An API key or database has no date, no rotation interval, and isn't marked Never expires. | Hygiene |
| Seen by an agent | An API key or database is marked as created or seen by an AI agent. It should be rotated. | Hygiene |
Some things are left off the action list on purpose:
- A subscription is not listed until it is past due, because it charges by itself. It still appears on the Home renewal calendar.
- A domain with auto-renew on is not listed until it has lapsed. A domain with auto-renew off is listed as it approaches, with "auto-renew is off" in the reason.
A rotation reminder counts from the item's last rotated date. See Items.
#Plan findings
These apply to the plans you record on provider accounts. See Plans, limits and costs. They appear on Home and under Plan findings on the Costs page.
| Finding | When it is raised | Group | Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limit full or nearly full | A limit you recorded is 80% used or more. | Hygiene | Free |
| Plan renews soon | A yearly plan renews in 0 to 30 days. | Next 7 days or Next 30 days | Free |
| Plan ends soon | A yearly plan marked as not renewing ends in 0 to 30 days. | Next 7 days or Next 30 days | Free |
| Check your plan | A plan hasn't been changed or checked for more than 180 days. | Hygiene | Free |
| Spend above plan | Last month's billed spend on a connected account was 125% or more of the plan's monthly price. | Hygiene | Solo |
| Plan has no active project | A paid plan's account serves no active project. | Hygiene | Solo |
| More than one paid plan | Two or more paid plans with the same provider. This is only a prompt to look; the provider may not let you combine them. | Hygiene | Solo |
On the Free plan, Solo findings are only counted. Home and Costs show a line such as "2 more savings findings are available with Solo" with an Upgrade to Solo link. See Plans.
Plan findings use only numbers you recorded. StackHangar never knows a provider's real limits or prices for your account.
#Business findings
If you use the business profile, Home can also show Mark done findings for filing dates that are due, and a finding when a business's details changed after you last confirmed them on a linked account. See Business profile. These findings have no AI explanation.
#Emails
Reminder emails follow the item and plan dates above. They count things and never name them. See Expiry reminders.
