Subby was built to take the stress out of keeping up with subscriptions. Instead of digging through emails or getting hit with surprise charges, everything you pay for is laid out clearly in one place. With Subby you can:
 • Get reminded before renewals so nothing slips by
 • See exactly how much you’ve spent and for how long
 • View subscriptions in any currency, converted to yours
 • Organize with simple grouping and sorting 
• Cancel or update details in seconds Whether it’s Netflix, Spotify, Duolingo, or your gym membership, Subby helps you stay in control and feel less weighed down by recurring costs. Private by design. Everything stays on your device. I started this app because I kept forgetting what I was subscribed to and the other options felt cluttered. Subby is meant to stay out of the way, give you a clear picture, and actually make life a little easier. Hope it makes things easier for you too :)
