About

Read full description

Edwin is a private subscription tracker that puts every recurring payment in one calm place — streaming, software, gym memberships, family plans, anything that auto-charges your card. Track every subscription, cancel what you don't use, and never get caught by a renewal again. — Clean monthly overview — See your monthly estimate at a glance. Review every subscription with the next billing date and exact price right where you expect it. No clutter, no ads, no upsells. — Reminders before every charge — Optional notifications give you a heads-up the day before any subscription renews, so you can cancel a free trial, switch plans, or rebudget before the charge lands. — Shared plans, split fairly — Family plans, group memberships, friend splits — they all work properly. Add participants, track who has paid their share, and see the breakdown for each shared subscription at a glance. — Multiple currencies, no math — Add subscriptions in any currency. Your monthly estimate converts everything to your default currency automatically, using up-to-date exchange rates. — Your data stays yours — No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. No profiling. Your subscriptions live on your device and, if you choose, sync privately through your own iCloud account across your Apple devices. — Free, with optional Premium — Track up to 5 subscriptions for free. Premium unlocks unlimited subscriptions, iCloud sync, charge reminders, and every future feature. Choose a monthly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase — whichever fits. Made for people who want to know exactly what they're paying for, without handing their data over. — Subscription details — The Monthly subscription auto-renews until cancelled. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings at least 24 hours before the next charge to stop renewal. Lifetime is a one-time purchase, no subscription required.
