## What is Subception?

Subception tells you what your subscriptions actually cost you — and it doesn't charge you a subscription to do it.

One payment. No account to create, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, and no servers of ours in the middle. Your data lives on your devices and syncs only through your own private iCloud.

WHAT IT DOES

Add what you pay for — streaming, software, gym, storage, the lot — and Subception turns it into something you can actually act on. Monthly and yearly totals at a glance. What renews this week. What quietly went up in price. What you saved by cancelling.

It handles the awkward cases properly: free trials that need a decision before they bill, annual plans, quarterly billing, custom cycles, paused subscriptions, and subscriptions in other currencies.

ONE APP, THREE PLATFORMS

Buy it once and it's yours on iPhone, iPad and Mac. The Mac app is a real Mac app, not a stretched phone screen — with a menu-bar extra, a proper sidebar, and full keyboard support.

FREE FOREVER

- Up to 5 subscriptions
- Prices in any currency, with the equivalent in yours shown alongside
- Renewal reminders so nothing bills you by surprise
- Home Screen widgets — monthly spend and upcoming renewals
- Siri and Shortcuts, plus Spotlight search
- CSV and JSON export, import and full backup

That last one matters: export, import and backup are never paid features. Your data is yours, and you can take it out whenever you like. That will never sit behind a paywall.

PRO — ONE PAYMENT, YOURS FOREVER

- The full insights engine — charts, category and payment breakdowns, and smart cards that tell you what changed
- Price-rise tracking and realized savings from what you've cancelled
- A renewal calendar, in-app and exported to your own calendar
- Multi-stage reminders and per-category defaults
- Per-account analytics — see what each card actually costs you
- Multi-currency analytics — mixed-currency totals, charts and breakdowns converted and combined
- Themes and alternate app icons

PRIVACY, PLAINLY

Subception collects nothing. There is no analytics SDK, no advertising, no third-party framework and no server of ours anywhere. The only thing the app ever fetches is the European Central Bank's public exchange-rate feed, anonymously and without a key, so multi-currency figures stay current.

iCloud sync is private to you — device to device through your own account. We never see it.

Made by NetSmiths in the UK.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-10

A tidying-up release. Mostly us fixing things we would rather you had not seen.

- Built-in categories no longer turn up twice when you use Subception on two devices. They were being enthusiastic. Existing duplicates now tidy themselves away on launch
- Cleaner currency display: plain symbols (£, $, €) instead of "US$", and no more stray .00 on round numbers
- Amounts priced in another currency now show the equivalent in yours — on the detail screen, in lists, in widgets and in the menu bar. Multi-currency is free for everyone from this release
- Your data is now always saved on this device, even when iCloud is having a moment
- A new iCloud panel in Settings: where your data lives, what is stored on this device, when iCloud last sent anything, and a Sync Now button that tells you the truth about what happened
- Sample subscriptions now ask before they pile in, and can be removed in one step. Sorry about that
- The free version covers 5 subscriptions. Anything already in your library stays put and fully editable whatever the count, and Pro and Founder remain unlimited

### 1.0 — 2026-08-07
