Zulip (https://zulip.com/) helps teams of all sizes be more productive together, from a few friends hacking on a new idea, to globally distributed organizations with hundreds of people tackling the world's hardest problems. Unlike other chat apps, Zulip lets you read and respond to every message in context, no matter when it was sent. Maintain your focus and then catch up on your own time, reading the topics you care about, and skimming or skipping the rest. Like everything Zulip, this official Zulip mobile app is 100% open-source software: https://github.com/zulip/zulip-flutter . Thank you to the hundreds of contributors who have made Zulip what it is! Zulip is available as a managed cloud service or a self-hosted solution. Please send questions, comments, and bug reports to support@zulip.com, or tweet @zulip.

The $99 charge you forgot you agreed to. Annual renewals are the ones that get you. A monthly subscription turns up in your bank feed often enough to stay familiar. A yearly one arrives eleven months after you stopped thinking about it. DueFlow keeps every repeating cost in one calm list and tells you before it renews — with no bank login, no account, and no ads. WHAT'S DUE, FIRST Open the app and see what is charging this week or this month, with a running total in each currency you use. Overdue sits at the top, today's charges next, then the rest as a quiet list. No dashboard to interpret. REMINDERS THAT KEEP WORKING Pick 7, 3, 1 or 0 days before a charge. Reminders are scheduled on your phone, so they arrive whether or not you have opened the app recently. MORE THAN SUBSCRIPTIONS Rent, insurance, phone plans, gym memberships, domain names, school fees, car payments — anything that comes back. Weekly, monthly, yearly, or every N days. MULTIPLE CURRENCIES, NO GUESSWORK Living between countries? Keep each cost in the currency you actually pay. DueFlow totals every currency separately and never invents an exchange rate. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No bank connection. Nothing is uploaded, because there is no server to upload it to. Export a full backup to Files or iCloud Drive whenever you like, and restore it on a new phone. FREE, AND STAYING THAT WAY Unlimited costs. No ads. No paywall. No subscription to keep track of your subscriptions. ALSO IN THE APP • Add a cost in seconds, with defaults that remember how you work • Swipe to mark paid — the next due date advances on its own • A cost due on the 31st stays on the 31st, even after February • Pause anything you have cancelled instead of deleting it • 18 categories, so the list reads at a glance • Light and dark, following your system setting DueFlow does not connect to your bank, does not ask who you are, and does not send you anywhere else. It answers one question well: what is coming out of your account, and when.
