Domain Tracker

The Domain Tracker lets you monitor domain registration expiry alongside your IP entries — all in one place. It uses IANA RDAP to fetch registrar details, expiry dates, and nameservers automatically. No API keys or third-party services required.


Opening the Domain Tracker

Click Tools → Domains in the toolbar. On mobile, tap the Tools menu and select Domains.


Adding a domain

  1. Click Add Domain
  2. Type the domain name (e.g. example.com) — subdomains are not supported, root domains only
  3. Press Enter or click Add

The app will immediately look up the domain via RDAP and show the result. This usually takes 1–3 seconds.


What gets fetched

For each domain, IP Manager retrieves:

Field Description
Registrar The company the domain is registered with
Expiry date When the registration expires
Days until expiry Calculated from today
Nameservers The authoritative nameservers
Last checked When the data was last fetched

Expiry status colours

Domain cards use a colour-coded left border and badge:

Colour Meaning
🟢 Green More than 60 days until expiry
🟡 Amber 30–60 days until expiry
🔴 Red Less than 30 days until expiry, or already expired
⚪ Grey Expiry date unknown (RDAP lookup failed)

A red notification dot also appears on the Tools → Domains button in the header whenever any domain is within 30 days of expiry.


Automatic refresh

All tracked domains are re-checked automatically once every 24 hours in the background. You don't need to do anything to keep the data fresh.

Manual refresh

To refresh a single domain immediately, click the button on its card.


Supported TLDs

Domain Tracker uses the IANA RDAP bootstrap registry, which covers 1,400+ TLDs including:

  • All legacy TLDs: .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, etc.
  • New generic TLDs: .app, .dev, .io, .tech, .online, .watch, .pro, .xyz, and hundreds more
  • Country-code TLDs: most ccTLDs that publish RDAP endpoints

Some ccTLDs do not operate public RDAP servers (notably a few older ones). For these, the card will show "Could not fetch RDAP data" — this is a limitation of the TLD's registry, not the app.


Troubleshooting domain lookups

"Could not fetch RDAP data"

  • The domain's TLD registry may not support RDAP, or their server may be temporarily unavailable
  • Try the manual refresh button — transient failures are common
  • Some older ccTLDs (e.g. certain .uk variants) have non-standard RDAP implementations

Registrar shown as a number

  • This was a bug in versions prior to v1.31, where the IANA numeric registrar ID was displayed instead of the name. Update to v1.31 or later to fix this.

Nameservers shown in ALL CAPS

  • Also fixed in v1.31 — nameservers are now normalised to lowercase.

Notes

  • Only root domains can be tracked (e.g. example.com, not sub.example.com)
  • Domain data is stored in the local SQLite database alongside your IP entries
  • Deleting a domain from the tracker does not affect the domain registration itself
