Puddle keeps every subscription in one calm place: music, movies and shows, cloud storage, AI tools, apps, the gym, the phone plan, anything that renews each month or year. Tired of subscriptions? We won’t be another one. Puddle is free for up to five active subscriptions, and Puddle Unlimited is a one-time purchase: buy it once, keep it forever. No subscription for your subscription app. EVERY SUBSCRIPTION IS A DROP Each subscription gets its own Drop. It fills as its renewal comes closer and drains once it renews, so you see what’s next at a glance. ONE QUIET REMINDER One notification 1, 3 or 7 days before a renewal, or none at all. A separate reminder two days before a free trial ends. ONE CALM TOTAL See what your subscriptions cost per month and per year in your own currency. Dollars, euros, pounds and more than 150 other currencies are converted with daily exchange rates. MADE FOR REAL LIFE • Any period: every N days, weeks, months or years • Amounts that change from month to month, like usage-based plans • Pause a subscription without deleting it, and see what you saved • Mark the ones to review later • Widgets for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, with “+” to add a new one • Smart groups and review hints, made on your iPhone by Apple’s on-device model (English and Spanish) PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your list lives on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, in sync across your devices. No accounts, no ads, no bank connections. We never see your subscriptions. Questions or ideas? Write to puddle@dglfactor.tech. A person reads every message.
