No credit card. Free for personal portfolios.
When the spreadsheet stops scaling
The visual scan-and-find approach stops working. You start adding filters, then conditional formatting, then a status column you have to update by hand.
Renewal management becomes a job. You forget which ones auto-renew. The 'expiry' column is months out of date because you have not opened each registrar to refresh it.
You have a folder of CSV exports from different registrars, each in a different shape. The master sheet has tabs, pivots, and a half-finished VLOOKUP from a 2am session.
You cannot ask your AI assistant about the spreadsheet. You cannot give a teammate view-only access without sharing the whole document. The structure does not match the reality of a domain portfolio.
Your spreadsheet cannot talk to Claude.
Lemon Domains ships an MCP server. Ask Claude or Cursor about expiry, renewal costs, or any subset of your portfolio in plain language. No add-on, no upcharge.
Frequently asked questions
What's wrong with a spreadsheet for tracking domains?
Spreadsheets are static. They go stale the day after you make them. They have no concept of expiry, no auto-renew flag, no project model that handles many-to-one assignments, and no way to ask your AI assistant about them. Lemon Domains is exactly the structure a domain portfolio actually needs.
I love my spreadsheet. Can I import it?
Yes. Upload your existing CSV, Lemon previews the parse, and you map columns once. Notes, custom tags, and registrar names all survive the import.
Will I lose flexibility moving off a spreadsheet?
You keep notes per domain and search across everything. The structure Lemon enforces (project, registrar, expiry, status) is the structure you were already trying to build with column gymnastics.
Can I export back to CSV?
Yes, any time. Filter to a subset, hit export, and you have a clean CSV. Use it for taxes, brokerage handoffs, or just to keep a backup.
