Subscription tracker for every recurring payment you forgot about. SubAxe shows what you pay each month, warns you before anything renews, and helps you cancel what you no longer use. No account, no ads, all on your device. === WHY SUBAXE === * See every subscription and bill in one place, with a clear monthly and yearly total. * Get reminded before a renewal charges you, at the day and time you choose. * Cancel what you don't use with a one-tap cancel assistant. * Spot forgotten and dormant subscriptions that quietly drain your budget. * Keep your money data private. It never leaves your phone. === FEATURES === * Track everything: streaming, music, cloud storage, gym, software, insurance, utilities and any other recurring bill. * Renewal reminders on your schedule: choose how many days ahead AND the exact time of day for each subscription. * Free trial alerts so a trial never turns into a charge you didn't plan. * Price hike alerts when a service quietly raises what it charges you. * Dormant subscription detection that flags what you have stopped using. * One-tap cancel assistant that takes you straight to the cancellation page. * Spending insights by category with clear charts for monthly, yearly and daily cost. * Monthly budget with a live progress bar so you know when you are over. * Any currency, any billing cycle: weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual. * CSV export of everything you track, ready for Numbers, Excel or your accountant. * Works fully offline. No sign-up, no email, no ads, no tracking. === SUBAXE PRO === SubAxe is free to track your first few subscriptions. SubAxe Pro unlocks unlimited tracking, advanced spend insights and forecasts, CSV export and every premium feature we add.
