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 :)

Your brain lies to you. That "must-have" feeling? It fades. Pennywise proves it — every time. HOW IT WORKS Log the thing you want to buy. Pennywise starts a countdown (24, 48, or 72 hours — your choice). When the time is up, we ask one question: do you still want it? Most people don't. SEE THE REAL PRICE TAG Enter your salary and Pennywise converts every price into hours of your life. That 1,399 SAR headset? 17 hours of work. That 27 SAR matcha? 20 minutes. Prices hit different when you measure them in time. THE THINKY JAR Every impulse goes in the jar. Watch them cool off. Decide when you're ready. Pass on the ones that don't matter. Keep the ones that do — guilt-free. NO JUDGMENT Buying something after waiting isn't a failure — it's an intentional choice. Pennywise celebrates both: the money you saved and the purchases you made thoughtfully. Pennywise is not a budgeting app. It's an impulse killer that lives offline on your phone.
