Cutty is a calm subscription manager for people whose recurring charges have quietly taken over the card statement. It runs on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac, and the goal is small - find what you are paying for, see when the next charge lands, and decide what is worth keeping. The home screen opens on a calendar heatmap of the next twelve months, so the heaviest months and the surprise yearly bills are visible at a glance. Tap any month to see which subscriptions land there, which days, how much, in your own currency. A cozy little cat mascot keeps watch while you tidy things up - because nothing about money admin needs to feel like a spreadsheet. Adding a subscription is one tap, picking a color and a cycle takes a few seconds, and the next renewal date sits right there on the row. Cutty also brings on-device Apple Intelligence into the picture. Hand the app a PDF receipt, a screenshot of an email, or pasted text - and it pulls subscription names, prices, and cycles out of the noise. Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no analytics linked to you, no cloud sync unless you decide to turn on iCloud yourself. Deeper tools are part of an optional Premium upgrade - the AI import flow, additional spending charts, plain-English notes about the months ahead, quick links to cancel a service, monthly budget alerts, CSV export, and a lock screen widget. Basics including the calendar, manual entry, renewal reminders, and your full subscription list stay free with no time limit.
