This app helps you keep recurring subscriptions under control—think streaming, music, cloud storage, fitness, and productivity services you pay for every month or year. What you can do • See all subscriptions in one list with monthly equivalents, sort by amount (high to low or low to high), and filter by category, payment method, or archived items. • Review renewals scheduled within the next year so the next charge dates never surprise you. • Visualize spending with charts, break down costs by category, and compare total subscription spending to the monthly income you set. • Create your own categories and payment methods, assign them to each subscription, and add optional notes and emoji-style icons. • Choose light, dark, or system theme; set a default currency; and pick how dates are displayed. Privacy and data Subscription entries you add are stored on your device. For currency conversion in the UI, the app may fetch exchange rates over the network when needed.
