AppHunt keeps track of what your apps and subscriptions cost you, and warns you before every charge. WHAT YOU PAY FOR APPS • Add every subscription, free trial and one-time purchase: name, price, how often you are charged, category. • See the monthly total, the yearly total, the cost per day and a twelve-month chart of your spending. • The next 30 days: every upcoming charge in order, with the amount that is due. • Where the money goes: a breakdown by category — video, music, storage, fitness, learning and more. NEVER SURPRISED BY A CHARGE • A reminder arrives on your iPhone 1, 2, 3 or 7 days before each renewal. • Free trials are tracked separately: AppHunt tells you before a trial turns into a paid plan, and how much it will add per month if you keep it. A BUDGET FOR YOUR APPS • Set what apps may cost you a month. AppHunt shows how much of the budget your subscriptions already take and how much is left. • Over budget? The biggest subscriptions are listed first, so you know what to cancel. PRIVATE AND HANDY • Everything you type stays on your iPhone. No account, nothing uploaded. • Lock the ledger behind Face ID and export it as a CSV file. • A Home Screen widget shows this month's total and the next charge. • Ask Siri "What do my apps cost in AppHunt", or log a subscription from the Shortcuts app. HUNT POINTS AND PROMO CODES • Developers give AppHunt offer codes for their own apps, so you pay less or nothing for a subscription. • Earn Hunt Points with daily check-ins, streaks and invites, or buy a pack, and unlock a code with them. • Redeem the code in the App Store. Saved codes remind you before they expire. AppHunt is not affiliated with Apple.
