Quiet Control
Read full descriptionHide full description
QuietControl is one screen for the recurring stuff in your life — subscriptions you forget about, how much you actually use them, your sleep, and the free hours you actually have this week. Free for up to 5 subscriptions. One purchase unlocks the rest. No recurring charges, no account to create, no ads. The irony of a subscription tracker that isn't itself a subscription is the point. WHAT IT TRACKS • Subscriptions — 80+ presets across streaming, music, cloud, AI, mobile, and food kits. Multi-currency (USD, EUR, GBP, TRY). Cancellation notice periods built in for German-style contracts. • What you pay for vs use — each subscription next to how much you used its app this week, and paid apps you use but haven't added yet. Drawn by Apple's private Screen Time report; your usage never leaves Apple's sandbox. • Sleep & activity — read-only from Apple Health. • Free time — your calendar scanned for gaps inside your working hours, tallied per week. • Focus sessions — Pomodoro, 52/17, 90-minute, deep work, or your own duration. Mindful minutes save back to Health. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • No accounts, sign-ups, or passwords. • No ads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. • No streaks, no badges, no shame. • No data leaves your phone. • No recurring charges. PRIVACY Everything stays local — Core Data, HealthKit, Calendar, Screen Time. The app talks to no servers other than Apple's StoreKit for the one-time purchase. The privacy nutrition label confirms this. WORKS WITH • Home screen widget for your monthly spend and next renewal • Siri Shortcuts: "start focus", "what's renewing", "monthly cost" • Apple Health — read sleep & activity, write mindful minutes • Apple Calendar — read events to find free time • Family Sharing — the lifetime unlock works for up to 5 people LANGUAGES English · Deutsch · Nederlands · Türkçe PRICING Free: up to 5 subscriptions, renewal reminders, cancellation deadlines, focus sessions, and Screen Time matching. Lifetime unlock, one-time purchase: unlimited subscriptions, the weekly report, savings suggestions, and CSV export and import.
