Track subscriptions privately. Import recurring costs faster. SubSafe is a private subscription tracker for recurring bills, renewals, and monthly spending. Add subscriptions manually or turn content you already have into a draft: share a PDF or selected text from Mail, or paste receipt, invoice, or confirmation text into the app. On compatible devices, Apple Intelligence helps create subscription drafts from imported content when available. You review the draft before anything is saved. Know what renews next • Track service, price, billing cycle, next billing date, category, and notes • See monthly spending and upcoming renewals on your dashboard • Search, filter, and manage active or inactive subscriptions • Use Home Screen widgets for spending and next-renewal visibility Import without bank access • Share PDFs directly to SubSafe • Share selected text from Mail to start a subscription draft • Paste receipt, invoice, or confirmation text • Review imported details before saving Privacy-first by design SubSafe stores your subscription data locally by default. No bank account connection is required. Premium adds optional iCloud sync through your Apple account, along with unlimited subscriptions, renewal reminders, and CSV/PDF exports. Track the recurring costs that matter. Catch upcoming renewals. Keep your data under your control. IMPORTANT NOTES: You can read the Terms of Use (EULA) here: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ SubSafe offers auto-renewable subscriptions.
