TrialCanary gives you a private canary address — a receive-only email alias you use when signing up for free trials and subscriptions. Receipts land in the app, TrialCanary reads them, and you get a chirp before money leaves your account: three days before, the day before, and the morning of a charge, with the exact amount and date. Never "renews soon." • Your own canary address, for the signups you want watched • Automatic detection from the receipts that land there — in your own currency • Chirps at T-3, T-1 and the morning of a charge, in your own timezone • Trials, subscriptions and price changes together in one nest • Login codes surfaced and copyable the moment they arrive • Reading and exporting your canary mail is free forever, even after a membership ends TrialCanary never connects to your bank and never reads your real inbox. The canary address is receive-only — it cannot send or forward mail. Mail is kept 90 days by default and is yours to export or delete at any time. Pro unlocks the canary address, automatic detection and chirps. Tracking up to 3 subscriptions by hand is free. Subscriptions renew until cancelled; manage or cancel any time in your App Store settings. Pro Yearly $34.99/year or Pro Monthly $4.99/month. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://trialcanary.com/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://trialcanary.com/privacy/
