STOP PAYING FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS YOU FORGOT ABOUT. Every month, your card is quietly hit by streaming services, app trials that converted, gym memberships you stopped using, and bills that slowly creep up. Vault is the subscription tracker that catches every renewal, trial, and price hike before it drains your wallet — so you finally know where your money goes and exactly how much you can keep. One glance. Every subscription. Zero guesswork. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO VAULT • See every bill, renewal, and free trial on one beautiful dashboard • Get reminded the moment a trial is about to convert — cancel in time, every time • Slash wasted spend with instant category breakdowns and yearly projections • Skip typing — send a screenshot and Vault adds each subscription automatically • Check your next payment from the Lock Screen, Home Screen, or Apple Watch in one second 12 HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Twelve widget designs to mix and match: next payment, monthly total, yearly trend, category donut, weekly forecast, top spender, active trials, and more. Every widget refreshes automatically. FULL APPLE WATCH APP Your wrist becomes your subscription dashboard. Five dedicated screens — Overview, Yearly Trend, Categories donut, Weekly Forecast, and Top Spender — sync live from your iPhone. Works even offline. SMART SCREENSHOT IMPORT Adding a subscription takes one tap. Screenshot your Apple subscriptions page, a PayPal email, or a bank statement — Vault's on-device recognition extracts each service, price, and renewal date so you don't type a thing.

Stop guessing. Start seeing. CALENDAR HEATMAP See which days of the month hit hardest.
