## What is Renew Guard?

Renew Guard is a local-first subscription tracker for people who want clearer visibility into recurring bills before they hit — and who want it without an account, ads, or tracking.

Add the services you pay for with cost, category, currency, and renewal date, then use the dashboard, insights, and calendar to stay ahead of every charge.

What you can do with Renew Guard:

- track recurring services with cost, category, currency, and renewal date
- catch free trials with a live countdown and reminders before they convert
- see spending insights with charts: monthly and yearly totals, spend by category, and a 12-month projection
- use Review Coach to rank the subscriptions most worth checking first, based on renewal timing, trial conversion, price changes, stale review dates, and category concentration
- plan with a color-coded renewal calendar that shows a per-day charge total
- track each subscription in its own currency and roll totals into your display currency with an editable, offline rate table
- watch for hidden price hikes with automatic price-change history and an "it went up" badge
- set a monthly budget (and optional per-category caps) and get on-device over-target alerts
- Quick Add from a built-in catalog of 100+ popular services
- follow 30+ offline step-by-step "how to cancel" guides
- tap "Mark as Renewed" after a charge to log the payment and automatically roll the renewal date forward one billing cycle
- view per-subscription payment history with a running total of what you have actually paid
- export a one-page PDF summary of your entire portfolio, or export your full list to CSV through the share sheet
- get local renewal reminders with adjustable lead times, plus a home-screen widget
- optionally scan a confirmation screenshot on-device to pre-fill a new entry, or add a renewal to your calendar

Renew Guard is a manual tracking and reminder tool. Review Coach is decision support for organizing what to check first; it does not link to your bank, give financial advice, or promise savings. It does not require an account, does not use a developer cloud, and does not include analytics or tracking. Everything runs on your device.

VALUE CHECK (NEW)
Log real usage with one tap and see cost per use for every subscription over the last 30 days. A ranked Value Check screen shows what earns its keep, what is worth a review, and exactly how much of your monthly total goes to services you have not used.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-08-15

NEW: Value Check — see what you actually get for your money.
• Tap “Used it” whenever a subscription earns its keep (swipe any row, or grade from the Value Check screen)
• RenewGuard turns your taps into a 30-day cost-per-use figure for every service
• A ranked list surfaces unused and low-value subscriptions first — with the monthly total you're paying for things you never opened
• Value tiers (Great value → Unused) feed straight into your review decisions

Also: refreshed product pages and support site.

### 1.5 — 2026-06-30

## Review Coach
Insights now includes a ranked review plan that shows which subscriptions deserve attention first. It weighs renewal timing, free-trial conversion windows, logged price changes, stale review dates, category concentration, and whether a cancellation guide is ready.

## Category Concentration
If one category is carrying most of your monthly spend, Renew Guard now calls it out directly so you can rebalance your review time instead of scanning every service manually.

## Cleaner Submission Screens
The screenshot/demo path now showcases the current Review Coach, Renewal Radar, forecast, calendar, quick add, and settings flows with deterministic on-device sample data.

Everything remains offline and manual: no account, no analytics, no bank link, no financial advice, and no savings promises.

### 1.4 — 2026-06-23

Introducing Renewal Radar — an event-aware forecast of your real monthly subscription cash-flow with peak months and trial conversions, plus a Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activity countdown to your next renewal. Siri Shortcuts, an audio-graph, and a full accessibility pass round it out.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-15

What's New in Renew Guard 1.3

Mark as Renewed
After a subscription charges you, tap "Mark as Renewed" on any subscription. Renew Guard logs the payment and automatically rolls the renewal date forward by one billing cycle - no more manually re-entering dates every month or year.

Payment History
Every "Mark as Renewed" tap builds a running payment log for that subscription: date paid, amount, and cycle. Tap "Payment history" to see the full list and a running total of what you have actually paid.

PDF Summary Export
Export a one-page PDF summary of your entire subscription portfolio from the dashboard menu. The PDF shows each active subscription (name, category, billing cycle, cost, monthly equivalent), spend by category, monthly and projected annual totals, and your total logged payments - shareable via the share sheet.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-13

See renewals coming. New — local reminders before each charge, a spend-insights dashboard with category breakdowns and monthly trends (Swift Charts), and category budgets. Add a service once and Renew Guard keeps the upcoming-charges timeline current. Fully offline. No account, no ads, no tracking.
